Jeff Belanger: The Fright Before Christmas

Join us for a night of spooky stories of Christmas past!

Based on years of research Jeff’s New England Legends Creepy Christmas television special and his forthcoming book of the same name this program explores the many Yuletide monsters and legends that have almost been lost to the ages. Jeff explores the history of the holiday and the ghostly traditions that date back more than two thousand years. Krampus the Belsnickel Tomtens and who can forget the most famous ghost story of all time: Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol? Yule scream! “The Fright Before Christmas” will make you believe again! Jeff Belanger does not recommend this program for a young audience.
