Oddball Guests: Jeff Belanger On Lore and Life Lessons
Welcome to a Very Special Episode of The Oddity Shop! In The Shop This Week we have a special guest: Adventurer, Author, Speaker, And So Much More - Jeff Belanger!
What if the ghost’s unfinished business isn’t theirs at all, but ours? We sit down with author, researcher, and longtime Ghost Adventures writer Jeff Belanger for a fast, funny, and deeply humane tour of the paranormal that treats legends like cultural sermons. Jeff traces his path from teenage encounters near the Warrens’ Connecticut home to crafting TV stories that ask the only question that matters: why here?
We wander into folklore’s global rhyme scheme: puckwudgies matching fae and Inuit little people before descending into winter with Grýla, Krampus, and Jeff’s Fright Before Christmas, where fear becomes the lever that shifts us back toward redemption. Then we tilt our eyes to the sky: if “aliens” look and breathe like us, maybe they’re future humans: time travelers with a vested interest in our better choices.
Whether you come for Ghost Adventures secrets, New England legends, or a smarter way to think about hauntings, you’ll leave with more than goosebumps. Subscribe, share this with your favorite oddball, and tell us: which legend still won’t let you go?
