JOURNEY TO THE OTHER SIDE

Join spook enthusiast Kristoff Blackstone and longtime personal assistant to the Blackstones (and history buff!) Chauncey Gibbles on a journey into Branford’s past, where history and folklore intertw**e. What connects Branford’s earliest settlers to the New England Witch Trials? Is the Harrison House truly haunted? And how, exactly, did Branford end up with a vampire? Come uncover the stories, legends, and strange happenings lurking just beneath the surface of Branford’s history. The line between fact and folklore may blur along the way—but stick with Kristoff and Chauncey, and hopefully you’ll make it safely to the other side.
