Cape Cod may be a popular tourist destination, but it has more than its share of strange and unique history.


The Pukwudgies were two- to three-foot beings with smooth gray skin, hairy faces and horns. These shape-shifting, mischievous little people are connected to Wampanoag Indian mythology. Edward Rowe Snow, a New England historian who was also known as the Flying Santa, delivered Christmas presents to lighthouse keepers and their families. Jeremiah's Gutter was a canal in Orleans and the first Cape Cod Canal. Join author Robin Smith-Johnson as she uncovers the secrets behind many unique places, remarkable events and fascinating people of Cape Cod.
