Richmond Haunts long-form
Haunted Maine: Phantom Roads, Historic Inns and a Lake Monster
Episode notes
About this episode
| Maine’s forests, coastal communities and old lodging houses provide the setting for ghost stories that range from roadside apparitions to one of New England’s best-known historical hauntings. The episode also reaches beyond ghosts to a lake-monster tradition rooted in the state’s wilderness.
Featured stories include the Phantom Hiker of the Haynesville Woods, the Bangor Opera House, Wood Island and the nineteenth-century haunting of Nelly Butler. In Rockland, the Lime Rock Inn and Berry Manor Inn continue the journey through Maine’s hospitality history, followed by the Kennebunk Inn and Fort Knox. The episode closes with the Pocomoonshine Lake Monster. By placing documented sites, reported encounters and regional folklore alongside one another without treating them as interchangeable, the program presents a broad but careful introduction to haunted Maine beyond Mount Desert Island. |
