Episode Details

Across New England, old harbours, coastal towns, wind-scoured islands, and shadowed woodland have given rise to a variety of legends. From the black-cloaked phantom of Provincetown to Ocean-Born Mary, the cursed island of Nix’s Mate, and the buried pirate treasure said to lie beneath Dungeon Rock.
