Legend Tripping

On the quest for ghosts, UFOs and aliens, monsters, urban legends, and more! By pursuing the paranormal we become a part of these stories. But are they more than just folklore?

Time Travel

From slips in time to the physics of the universe. This talk presents the evidence of time travelers among us, the stories of our attempts to alter the future, and some mind-blowing experiments that may prove or disprove that there are indeed other dimensions.

Dark Journeys: Exploring Urban Legends

Bloody Mary, the Hook, White Lady ghosts, the weight of the soul, gravity hills, and so much more. Why do these legends pop up all over the world and force us to explore them?

Ghosts and Hauntings

From the famous, like the Tower of London and the White House, to the infamous like Amityville, Jeff offers a world tour where the audience can hear the voices of the past and see the darker side of some international treasures. 

The Ghost Experience

The birth and death of legends and the role of folklore in hauntings and ghost investigations. A great story is a powerful force behind all paranormal legends.

A Supernatural Evening

Jeff's annual Halloween-season program changes every year. For over 15 years Jeff Belanger has been exploring the unexplained. He seeks out ghosts, monsters, and legends all over the world and in your backyard. His talk presents highlights from his own adventures, a look at the investigation process, and compelling audio and visual paranormal evidence. Not just ghost stories, Belanger will delve into the reasons behind the phenomena.

Spirit Communication

Are talking boards (aka Ouija boards) just a game? Can people reach the other side with automatic writing, through mirror gazing, by pulling out a camera or tape recorder? Jeff shows the method, discusses the history, and displays the evidence.

Weird Massachusetts

Based on Jeff's popular book of the same name, take a multimedia journey through the history, oddities, paranormal, and just plain weird side of the Bay State.

Paranormal Investigations

From starting a group, the equipment needed, and presenting your findings, Jeff can talk from the perspective of not just an investigator himself, but a person who has worked with many different ghost hunting groups around the country.

Nightmare Interpretations

Jeff is the co-author of The Nightmare Encyclopedia: Your Darkest Dreams Interpreted. Learn about the paranormal in your sleep, what your dreams mean, and the symbols and archetypes of our dream world.

Commentary on the Mind, Body, Spirit Market

Jeff isn't just an author of several books on paranormal subjects, he's also the editor in chief of Ghostvillage.com, a Web site that reviews the latest New Age titles, publishes articles on various supernatural subjects, and is the Web's largest paranormal Web site. As a former marketing and public relations professional, Jeff understand the paranormal book publishing market, the ways and means to promote the work you're doing in this field, and keys to networking with like-minded researchers.

He's worked with several publishing companies and has taught creative writing workshops. Jeff offers a lecture that provides a crash-course in the publishing business.

(For KIDS) What It’s Like…:

Ever wonder what it’s like to blast off into space, or climb Mt. Everest, or get your arm torn off by a shark, or fly with the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds? Based on Jeff’s hit book for kids, this inspirational program for ages 8 and up explores the stuff we all dream of doing. The audience will hear from people who have survived against all odds, who have succeeded at the highest levels, and who have inspired millions with their stories. “Can’t” is a word none of these folks understand.

Not Just for Halloween Anymore

Jeff will tailor a presentation to fit your group's specific needs. With photographs and images, audio and video clips, and a crypt-full of history and experiences from all over the world, the paranormal always packs in an audience -- and Belanger knows how to deliver a riveting lecture.

"Jeff Belanger is one of the most talented, engaging, enlightening, and entertaining speakers in the paranormal field. He is always a highlight, and loved by attendees of all of Darkness Radio Events."
-Dave Schrader, Host of DarknessRadio / Darkness Events

"Jeff Belanger is one of the most entertaining and informative speakers on the paranormal. His impressive background as an author and journalist combined with his sense of humor and personality are the reasons we not only brought him to our first conference, but are bringing him back again. He offers a fantastic multimedia presentation and makes himself accessible and available to the audience throughout the event."
-Amy Bruni, Beyond Reality Events

"A Supernatural Evening with Jeff Belanger was one of the most successful programs our library has ever hosted! We invited Jeff to fit in with our spooky summer reading theme and he was definitely one of the highlights of the summer. We had a packed house and an enthusiastic and engaged audience. Jeff was funny and knowledgeable and our audience was thoroughly charmed. The evening was such a success that we knew we had to book him again for October."
-Elizabeth Sherry, Adult Services Librarian, Mattapoisett Free Public Library

"A Supernatural Evening with Jeff Belanger has to be one of the most entertaining programs we’ve had in a while. Jeff is energetic and engaging. He kept the audience’s attention throughout the program. You can tell he loves what he does, the enthusiasm is infectious! The legends and paranormal evidence were awesome! We had a packed house of 150+, standing room only! Jeff’s program was A-1."
-Chris LeFort, Reader Services Coordinator, Attleboro Public Library

"Jeff's presentation was very interesting and entertaining. His sense of humor put the audience at ease and was a great accompaniment to all the weirdness around us. It was funny to see how the audience bonded and felt pride over the oddities of our state."
-Jocelyn Tavares, Director, Dighton Public Library

"Not many speakers at this library have attracted a crowd like Jeff Belanger. Thank you! "Legends of the Supernatural" was our most successful program this year -- people showed up early, filled every seat, stayed late, and even asked to get their pictures taken with him. Jeff is a pleasure to work with and has a knack for joking with the audience. We were so pleased with the turn-out that we invited him back this Spring to present his "Weird Massachusetts" program. Jeff has a supernatural ability to pack the house!"
-Freyja Sanger, Reference Librarian, Tewksbury Public Library

"Paranormal programs always fill our library conference room – and Jeff was no exception! He entertained, while giving people some things to consider outside the “normal”. Jeff explained how Legend Tripping is something anyone can do, and that most legends fact based. Jeff certainly added to our Adult Summer Reading Program schedule this summer!"
-Wendy McAnanama, Agawam Public Library, Agawam, Massachusetts

"Jeff's program was both informative and fun! We had an overflow crowd and the feedback has been wonderful. Hope to have him back soon."
-Mary Tobichuk, Library Director, Fiske Library, Wrentham, Massachusetts

“Jeff Belanger presented ‘A Supernatural Evening’ at the Middleboro Public Library on October 29, 2011. From my initial contact with him to his appearance here Saturday evening, Jeff was highly entertaining and extremely professional. He helped promote the event on his websites and Facebook and Twitter pages, and did media interviews. A standing-room-only crowd of more than 80 people came out on a terrible, stormy (though ‘atmospherically appropriate’) evening and were not disappointed. Our patrons loved Jeff, his extensive knowledge of the paranormal, and his wonderful sense of humor. He patiently answered questions from the audience and stayed until the last person had been able to meet and speak with him. ‘Well-done,’ ‘awesome,’ and ‘terrific’ were just some of the adjectives patrons used to describe Jeff and his multi- media presentation. We’d have him back any time.”
-Libby Fox, Reference and Adult Services Librarian, Middleborough Public Library

“It was a true pleasure to have Jeff Belanger as our guest speaker at the Las Vegas Conference in October 2005. Jeff is a talented speaker who gets and holds audience attention. His warm and friendly manner mixed with a great sense of humor is refreshing as well as informative. Jeff’s knowledge of ghost sightings and the paranormal is impressive to say the least. This coupled with the fact that he is a published author on these subjects make him a valuable asset to any speaking engagement. I highly recommend Jeff Belanger to anyone seeking a professional speaker on the subject of the supernatural.”
-Robert Allen, Haunted Vegas Tours, Las Vegas, Nevada

“Jeff Belanger’s talk at the Bellingham Public Library was our most popular and well-attended program in years!”
-Charlotte Rabbitt, Director, Bellingham Public Library

“Jeff Belanger brings a lot of personality and knowledge to the field of paranormal research. Between his many books and his Web site, the well from which he draws his evidence is vast and deep. His lectures are always energetic, entertaining, and engaging, which is why we want him back at our conferences again and again.”
-Ron Kolek, Executive Director, The New England Ghost Project; Producer/Host, The Ghost Chronicles radio show

“This presentation absolutely PACKED the room with one of the largest turnouts we've seen - and this is even after changing to a larger venue! Jeff Belanger's Supernatural Evening delivered a fun, informative, entertaining event that our patrons absolutely loved.”
-Libby Lipin, Athol Public Library, Athol, Massachusetts

“It gives me great pleasure to write this recommendation for Mr. Jeff Belanger. Jeff has been a wonderful contact and friend to our organization. For the past three years, Jeff has participated in our annual Paranormal Conference (ParaCon), and he will be participating again this year. Jeff’s presentations are interesting and informative, and our audience always reacts well to his presentations. Every year of our ParaCon we receive feedback from audience members who truly enjoyed Jeff’s presentations and are always eager to find out if he will be a presenter next year, or at our other events. Jeff’s presentations are fun, energetic, and always leave the audience happy. Furthermore, Jeff is a wonderful individual when it comes to answering questions. He always addresses each question and makes it a point to be sure the person understands the answer fully. Jeff is a truly talented presenter who always engages everyone in the audience. He is a wonderful choice as a speaker, which is why we continue to have him back at our ParaCon.”
-Jon Nowinski, Director, Smoking Gun Research Agency 

“Jeff Belanger is a very entertaining and well informed speaker on the topic of hauntings, supernatural phenomenon and dreams. His presentation to the Boston Dowsers was well received and thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. I highly recommend him!”
-Susan McNeill Spuhler, President, Greater Boston Chapter American Society of Dowsers

"Jeff has been my favorite paranormal author for years and I finally had a chance to see him present in Chicago. Imagine my happiness when I found out that my favorite author was as intelligent and amusing as he seems in his writings. His presentation stole the show, and that's when I knew I needed him at our event. Two years later we had him booked for the 2nd Annual Michigan Paranormal Convention. Jeff was going to be part of a paranormal lineup of speakers that was made up of leaders in the field of writing, research, and TV stars. Two full days of lectures, presentations, and Q&A's -- the largest lineup in the Mid-West! Imagine once again my happiness when I saw Jeff come out of the weekend as one of the top presenters! The crowd loved him. We have received so much positive feedback from his appearance at our event. His presentation is tight, full of information, and best of all.... FUNNY! But beyond that, Jeff is not a presenter who will do his time on stage, sell some books, and that is the last you will see of him. Jeff was available to the fans all weekend long, taking pictures, telling jokes, and listening to anyone who had a story to share. As an event organizer, it's those extra miles that presenters do that adds so much more to events! Jeff Belanger is a MUST for your next Conference, Convention, or Lecture!"
-Tim Ellis, Michigan Paranormal Convention Co-Founder

“The stereotypical ghost investigator is tweedy, moldy, set in his ways. Not Jeff Belanger. A natural-born story teller, he’s got his facts and his wits in a row… and undoubtedly has to fight off succubae on a regular basis.”
-Tamara Thorne, author of Haunted, the Sorority trilogy, and Thunder Road; lecturer; co-host Magick Mind Radio

"For the last two years I have attended Jeff's lectures at the Bellingham Public Library in Bellingham, Massachusetts. It's always a pleasure to listen to Jeff speak; he blends his witty sense of humor with his extensive knowledge of all things weird and unusual into a presentation that opens the mind and triggers that sense of wonder regarding all things spooky and unusual. Whether you are a believer in the paranormal, a skeptic, or just have an armchair interest in ghosts, monsters and legends, anyone will leave one of his lectures a little more in tune and open to the unknown world around us." -Dave Francis, Independent Paranormal Researcher

"The first time I heard Jeff Belanger give a presentation was at the Mount Washington Hotel in 2009. Since that time, I have attended numerous lectures and events hosted by Jeff. He is so passionate about sharing with others his knowledge of the paranormal, that his attitude is downright contagious! Being the prolific writer and researcher that he is, Jeff is continuously seeking for more information and hard evidence to share, present, and write about. Because of this he is one of the most well-respected and requested speakers in the paranormal community. Whether or not you believe in the paranormal, go see Jeff Berlanger. He will entertain you, enthrall you, and leave you wanting to know more."
-Jody Maruca
