Jeff Belanger (www.jeffbelanger.com) is one of the most visible and prolific researchers of folklore and legends today. He’s the award-winning, Emmy-nominated host, writer, and producer of the New England Legends series on PBS and Amazon Prime, and is the author of over a dozen books on the paranormal (published in six languages). He also hosts the New England Legends weekly podcast.
Since 1997, the journalist has interviewed thousands of eyewitnesses to paranormal occurrences. He’s the ultimate insider and knows how to connect with people from all walks of life when it comes to the unexplained.
His books include the best sellers: The World’s Most Haunted Places, Weird Massachusetts, Our Haunted Lives, and Who’s Haunting the White House? (for children). He’s the founder of Ghostvillage.com, the Web’s most popular paranormal destination according to Google, and a noted speaker and media personality. He’s spoken at MENSA’s national conference and has given a prestigious TEDx talk in New York City.
The cost for the talk in the summer ranges from $450 to $750 if I have the ability to sell my books after the program. The price includes everything: transportation, meals, my time there, a multi-media lecture (I bring all of the necessary equipment), a Q&A, and I’m happy to make myself available to local media before and at the talk to help promote it. Additionally, I list all of my talks on my Web sites and in my email newsletters to help get the word out and bring people to your location.
The talk lasts about one hour and is targeted to adults (high school age and up), then I leave time for Q&A, and then people often like to speak with me one-on-one after the program, so it’s best to schedule two hours. Also, I’ve found programs that start earlier than 6:30 PM on weeknights are not as well attended. I also have customizable flyers, press releases, and social media graphics you can use to help get the word out to your patrons and media. Just ask!
