Catherine of the Blackswoods Road. The legend of Catherine has been around since 1860, and there are different variations on who exactly she may have been and the circumstances surrounding her death. The story has been passed down through generations, and as usual with this type of ghost storytelling, things sometimes shift. Allegedly, she was in either a carriage or a car accident, which seems to change depending on when the story is told.In some accounts, she died as a newlywed who is traveling with her husband on their way to Bar Harbor to spend their honeymoon. Others say that she died on prom night. In the book Dark Woods, Chill Waters by Marcus LiBrizzi, he connects her story to a Model T Ford at the bottom of nearby Fox Pond. This story places in her that car with a companion and that they were going too fast and ended up in the lake. In some versions of the story, Catherine was killed by decapitation, and her headless ghost haunts the hill. In other versions, she is a woman in a white or blue dress, head intact, who stands by the side of the road to flag you down and ask for a ride. She is characterized by long black hair and a face that is both frightening and beautiful. While it may go against your instincts to invite in a ghost, people have noted feeling compelled to help her, but she disappears soon after entering the car. According to a famous encounter by musician Dale Whitney, she asked him for a ride when he stopped, but he soon realized that she was transparent. In his fear, he sped away but soon thought that his eyes must have been playing tricks on him in the darkness, so he turned around to go back for her, but she was gone. When Whitney traveled the road the next day, there was an overturned van. Perhaps, this van didn't stop for her, and the occupants suffered the consequences.In another story, a salesman saw her headless form and was so frightened that he continued down the road, but she appeared in his backseat anyway. He then lost control of his car and was killed, so it appears that Whitney escaped a tragic fate. It seems to be that Catherine spares you only if you show her kindness. Whether searching for her lost head or lost lover, Catherine seems intent on spooking well-intentioned motorists who drive through. It seems best to stop, but you may experience her wrath either way.

The Sabattus Well Descent. According to this story, a group of teens dared a friend to be lowered into a well in Sabattus. The well, located at the back of a cemetery, was reported to be haunted but the young boy agreed to the challenge in order to impress the group. Sitting atop a rubber tire, the boy was lowered down into the well for many minutes before his friends could no longer see him. When they realized that there was no movement at the end of the rope, the boys pulled up their friend and found him very changed. The boy's hair had turned stark white, his entire body shook and he was unable to form coherent sentences. His laughter indicated that he had gone insane and his appearance was that of a very old man. The boy never came back from this state, and is said to randomly scream from the windows of the county institution where he now lives. Have you've heard of this story?

The Ghost Bride Of Haynesville Woods. On a wooded road in the outskirts of Haynesville, a newlywed couple traveled on a dark winter night. The story tells us that the groom was drunk and lost control of the car, hitting a telephone pole which killed him. After the young bride crawled from the wreckage and made her way back to the snowy road, she waited for hours for someone to drive by to help her. However, the conditions of the night meant that nobody was traveling and the woman never received help. It is reported that she has remained in the same place in her wedding gown where she eventually froze to death. Travelers on the road have reported seeing the woman in the white gown outside of the Haynesville Woods. She can still be seen wandering along the side of the road searching for help that never came. Some even claim to have actually spoken to the woman. In these situations, she tells the driver of her situation but as the vehicle approaches closer the woman suddenly disappears.

Cursed Memorial of Colonel Buck. During the early years of Bucksport, Maine, its founder, Colonel Jonathan Buck, had a witch executed, as they did in that time. Before she died at the bad end of a hangman's noose, she cursed Buck to always bear the mark of that deed—and that prophesied mark is apparently a water stain in the shape of a pointed stocking that appeared on a monument honoring him 75 years after his death. Variations on the story liven up the tale. In one version, instead of hanging her, he has her burned, and her leg falls off and rolls out of the fire at Buck's feet. In another, she wasn't a witch at all, just unfortunate enough to be pregnant with his child in a socially unacceptable situation, the witch execution an easy fix to his inconvenient problem. In yet another version her already born and deformed son grabs the leg when it falls off and runs away with the relic, never to be seen again. Whatever the story, what Bucksport is left with these days is a pointy leg-shaped stain on an obelisk of granite in a hilltop graveyard on Main Street, dedicated to the founder of the town. It hangs right below his name like a stocking on a fireplace. A nearby sign explains the legend and the strange marking. Have you've heard of this tale?

The Ghosts of Wood Island Lighthouse. The lighthouse on Wood Island has a few scary theories related to its haunting. In one, the lighthouse is haunted by the ghost of fisherman, Howard Hobbs, who shot and killed his landlord Fred Milliken in 1896. The story goes that Hobbs and his roommate, William Moses, had been drinking heavily when Millikin asked to speak to them about their overdue rent. Hobbs went on to shoot Millikin in the chest before he turned the gun on himself inside the Wood Island lighthouse. Following the suicide, reports of moaning and unexplained shadows began to be told by keepers living in lighthouse. In 1972, the light was removed negating the need for any keepers to live within the haunted light. If you take a visit now you'll see that an automated light now exists and perhaps you'll hear Hobbs moaning on his own, without even a keeper to keep him company. Have you've been to a lighthouse before?
