1. Compass Harbor Nature Trail, Bar Harbor
George Dorr owned a large mansion near the water close to the trail. While the home is just rubble today, some say they can feel the presence of Dorr, who died on the trail. Others claim the ghost is actually that of the caretaker who isn’t all too pleased to have visitors.
2. Maiden’s Cliff, Camden
On May 6, 1862, a young girl fell from this spot. No one is sure exactly why she fell, but the correct version of the accident is taken from The Camden Herald in 1915. The young girl’s sister gave the information, as she also climbed the mountain that day.
From The Camden Herald: “My father’s name was Zadoc French, and I was the eldest of 12 children. We lived at Lincolnville Beach (but they called it French Beach, at that time.)
“That day myself and the school teacher, Miss Hartshorn, were getting ready to drive to Lincolnville Center to see some friends, when little Elenora coaxed her mother to let her go with us. After dinner a young man, Randall Young, invited us to go up the mountain, and the four of us climbed Megunticook from the Lincolnville side.
“We did not realize we were over the boldest cliff on the rock until Mr. Young told us so, and he said he would find a big rock and roll it down over. While he was looking for a rock, Miss Hartshorn and I were sitting down and little Elenora was rambling around us.
“I remember exactly how she looked. Her hat had blown off and with it the net, and when I last saw her she was sitting on a rock near the edge of the cliff putting on her net. I turned to speak to Miss Hartshorn. I heard a scream. I looked where Elenora had been sitting and she was gone.
“We were dazed for a moment and then ran to the edge of the cliff, but could not get near enough to look over. Mr. Young climbed down the face of the cliff to where Elenora had landed, nearly 300 feet, they say, from where she fell.
“She was still alive and not a bone broken, but she was injured internally and died at 12:30 that night. I do not know how my sister came to fall. I shall always think that a puff of wind took her hat, and she fell over going after it.”
3. Old Narrow Gauge Trail, Randolph
Old Narrow Gauge route is said to be haunted by the ghost of a local who went missing here. Neither he nor his bike were ever found. Nobody was arrested for the presumed crime, but many believe he was killed by someone he knew. To this day visitors claim to see spirits along the trail as well as hearing a voice screaming “Get Out!”
4. Haynesville Woods, Haynesville
The surrounding woods are said to be haunted by a girl named Annie who reported being terrorized by a woman with a melted face. Later when Annie went missing she was found with her own face gone. Her family members suffered strange accidents after that. Today, some say you’ll see a woman with no face in these woods.
