Hauntings In Maine..................Nocturnal By Nature |
BANGOR--During the 18th century, a witch named Eliza lived in this home. Since her death in 1831, every family that has resided in the house was haunted by her spirit. In 1945, the house burned. Eliza’s spirit, however, continued to wreak havoc, often screeching during the night. Some brave souls have stayed at the site and have all met Eliza.
BUCKSPORT--Long ago, a man named Captain Buck fell in love with a woman who was known to be a witch. In order to protect his reputation, he left her for another woman. The witch cursed him, saying she would leave her foot upon his grave. Today, an outline of a foot is seen on his tombstone. The stone has been scrubbed and even replaced; the outline still remains.
MACKWORTH ISLAND--Once featured on “Unsolved Mysteries,” the tree is gutted and is cut off about nine feet from the base. The tree has faces that protrude from the wood. They appear to be upturned in agony with the mouths open. On this is island is also a pet cemetery. Phantom dogs and houses have been seen romping around the site.
OLD TOWN--When a suspected witch was convicted of a crime and sentenced to be hanged, she fiercely defended the fact that she was innocent. However, no one took her declaration into account, and the punishment was enforced. When at the gallows, the witch cursed the mayor and promised to haunt him to his grave. No paranormal activity was reported by the mayor, but on his grave is a boot print. If the print is removed, it will reappear in no more than a few days
SACO--Many years ago, a young Indian girl was kidnapped by a couple of settlers. She was taken out on the river in a canoe. A fight pursued and the vessel capsized; all three died. Three people (sometimes more) die per year according to the legend. The girl’s father, an Indiana chief, was highly upset. He placed a curse on the river and vowed that three people would die on the river every year. Since then, three or more people have died on the Saco each year.
**I don't know, these might could be considered more as urban legends than anything but I still found them very interesting! :)

Whenever I think Of Maine, or the northeast, I always think of a cabin by a lake surrounded by woods. I would love to go up there one day and check out these haunted sights. |

Those are so freaky and eerie! No wonder Stephen King's stories happen mostly in Maine where spookiness seems to reign. The grave stone Xylanthia is talking about would be cool to see. WOW!. |

I used to be so into Stephen King lol! I have heard that many of the most famous poets and novelists did their greatest works up in Maine, there was even an article somewhere that my hubby pulled up on that fact. He always agrees that since I'm a writer I would fit in perfectly up there! |

Hi Nocturnal By Nature, this is very interesting! The one with the tree and the one with the Indian girl were very interesting and spooky! I usually watch Unsolved Mysteries and I've never seen that one... I'm gonna be looking for it, now i'm interested in seeing it! Thanks for sharing, |
