Maine Ghosts and Legends (2nd ed.) | Free Book
30 Encounters with the Supernatural
Maine has a rich supernatural history and ghost stories from the state
are as varied as they are prolific. Freelance writer and reporter Tom
Verde first became interested in such eerie occurrences while
researching first-hand encounters with ghosts for a series of public
radio programs. This book recounts some of the spine-tingling tales he
uncovered in his research, including:
•The dagger-wielding shade who terrorized a Portland couple
•The murdered Indian who revisited Means’s Tavern
•Famed diva Lillian Nordica, whose voice still echoes through the Farmington auditorium named in her honor
•The hostile spirit who tried to frighten the tenants out of an Orrington house
•Even an entire phantom ship, bound eternally for Freeport
These are not fictitious creations of literary imagination. People from all walks of life—including many who were positive they would never believe in ghosts—attest to these encounters.
