Here you will find a
good list of activities to enjoy during the Halloween season. If you are

You will also
find other ghostly events and suggested books like this one:
Visit www.redcloakhauntedhistorytours.com for
your source of information for haunted history walking tours in Camden,
Damariscotta, Wiscasset, Boothbay Harbor, Bath, Hallowell and Rockland.
As reported in the Courier-Gazette, Rockland
and Hallowell are the new sites added this year. The tours are led by a mysterious Lady in the
Red Cloak who carries a lantern. Sally Lobkowicz, director of the tours, based
in Damariscotta, dons the red cloak to play this role. The tour explores
ghosts, history, spirits and mystery.
The subject matter on the tours, which last about 90 minutes with generally
easy walking, is geared not to scare younger walkers on the tour. In fact, some
schools take their kids on the walk as a history lesson.
In Rockland there are tales of a haunted “speakeasy,” which I expect was on
Sea Street, now Tillson Avenue, where all the sailors from the ships in port
hung out. That area has a very rough past. You might also see the ghost ship
Red Jacket. There have also been UFO sightings and many legends.
Sometimes the residents of the town involved have haunted stories or
historical stories to share with the group as they walk.
There are also daytime cemetery tours which emphasize the history of the
markers and ornaments. All respect is given to those loved ones interred there.
Tours are on a reservation basis only and group size is limited to be sure
everyone has a good experience. For more information, call 207-380-3806 or
check them out on the link above.
Happy ghostly walking.
