Don't take our word for it. See what others have said about Jeff!

“Jeff Belanger is a talented storyteller who treated our audience to an evening of ghostly tales that were spooky but not too scary for the little ones. We all enjoyed his blend of humor, horror, and human insight.”
John Kelly, Walker Lecture Series, Concord, New Hampshire – October 22, 2025

“Preservation Worcester hosted Jeff as one of several events leading up to Halloween. In a matter of a few weeks, the event was sold out. We had over 80 people in attendance for Jeff’s presentation on Wicked Strange, and it was even better than the book! He was engaging and funny, along with being a natural storyteller. He also provided time for questions from the audience which was greatly appreciated. ”
Patrick T. Maloney, Executive Director, Preservation Worcester, Inc., Worcester, Massachusetts – September 24, 2025

“Believers and non-believers will surely believe in Jeff Belanger after seeing him in person! Our library patrons and staff were beyond impressed with his humor, knowledge, and wit. A first-time attendee stated that she could listen to Jeff talk for hours and she is not alone. Jeff is friendly, attentive, and accommodating to each of his fans. He took pictures, signed books, and chatted with each patron who wished to share an anecdote.”
Stefanie Dalton, Director, North Providence Union Free Library, North Providence, Rhode Island – October 28, 2024

“The Dighton Public Library booked Jeff to give his New England Legends talk in October for Halloween, and we are so glad that we did. Jeff’s presentation was fantastic. His humor, knowledge, and storytelling abilities provided everybody in attendance with an unforgettable experience that they are still talking about. The Dighton Public Library will welcome Jeff back again at any time.”
Mark Procknik, Director, Dighton Public Library, Dighton, Massachusetts – October 24, 2024
