The Great Pumpkin Race - A New England Legends Podcast

Author: Dave Schrader November 24, 2025 Duration: 23:15
Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger head to Goffstown, New Hampshire, where every fall the Piscataquog River transforms into one of New England’s strangest racetracks. For 25 years, locals have carved out giant pumpkins, climbed inside, and paddled them like boats in a regatta that has become the stuff of legend. But how did this wonderfully weird tradition begin? Jeff and Ray slip back through the decades to uncover the origins of a festival that turned a humble pumpkin patch into an unforgettable piece of Granite State folklore.

Hosted by Dave Schrader, The Paranormal 60 Network is a daily exploration into the shadows and strange frequencies that hum just beneath the surface of our ordinary world. This isn't a single show but a curated collection of voices, each dedicated to dissecting a different corner of the mysterious. Every episode across the network’s schedule tackles topics from ghostly encounters and UAP phenomena to deep dives into folklore, unsettling true crime, and enduring historical puzzles. The approach is grounded yet open, favoring narrative and investigation over sensationalism. You might spend one day immersed in the regional myths and odd tales of New England with Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger, then join Dave Schrader the next for his focused take on the paranormal. The result is a consistently intriguing podcast feed that treats the unexplained with a seriousness that respects both the subject and the listener’s curiosity. It’s designed for those who find fascination in the unanswered question, offering a daily dose of the supernatural, the strange, and the historically hidden, all delivered through thoughtful conversation and researched storytelling. Tune in and let the familiar world seem a little less certain, and a whole lot more interesting.
