Description: In the autumn of 1939, the isolated fishing town of Provincetown, Massachusetts, became gripped by terror. Children and adults alike reported encounters with a towering figure cloaked in black, wearing a metallic mask with glowing blue eyes and laughing with a deep, gurgling sound before vanishing into the dunes with impossible speed. They called it the Black Flash. But the deeper investigators looked, the stranger the story became. Wartime paranoia, serial arson, sea monster hysteria, and a frightened coastal community all collided to create one of New England’s most bizarre forgotten legends. And decades later, a deathbed confession would finally reveal the shocking truth hiding behind the mask. Tonight, we uncover the true story of the Black Flash and find out what exactly this has to do with New Jersey.   YouTube -  https://www.youtube.com/@HauntedAmericanHistory   TikTok - @hah_podcast       hauntedamericanhistory.com       Patreon- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/hauntedamericanhistory⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠       LINKS FOR MY DEBUT NOVEL, THE FORGOTTEN BOROUGH       Barnes and Noble -   https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-forgotten-borough-christopher-feinstein/1148274794?ean=9798319693334       AMAZON: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FQPQD68S       EbookGOOGLE: https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=S5WCEQAAQBAJ&pli=1       KOBO: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-forgotten-borough-2?sId=a10cf8af-5fbd-475e-97c4-76966ec87994&ssId=DX3jihH_5_2bUeP1xoje_   SMASHWORD: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1853316       !!
