If you're a believer of the supernatural or paranormal, you might want to visit the little town of Skowhegan, Maine. It's supposedly the home of several haunted spots, and the stories of these places will give you goosebumps.
The pretty little town of Skowhegan sits on the banks of the Kennebec River, and it was settled in 1771.
A town this old is certain to have some ghosts, right? Whether you believe in the supernatural or not, some of the folks who live here can tell you some tales.
If you're looking for ghosts here, the first place to visit is the Strand Theater.
Many employees and some visitors report seeing the figure of a woman here, and those who work here late at night hear noises behind the movie screen and in the basement after the theater is closed.
Many think that it's the ghost of a woman who died in her apartment above the theater in the 1970s. They feel like she has an angry presence, and at least one employee has quit after experiencing paranormal activity there.
Once you've enjoyed a movie, some popcorn, and maybe a malevolent presence, take a drive to Lake George Regional Park.
This park is supposedly the site of many strange occurrences, as well. Some people say they've seen odd lights and orbs, and have heard noises they can't explain.
The park was established in 1992 when a property that was once a thriving summer camp came onto the market. The park covers 320 acres, and still includes a summer camp to this day.
The camp is now known as Camp Podooc, and its cabins are said to be haunted.
The most common story about these cabins is that items inside them seem to be rearranged when no one is inside... and it happens in just moments. The story goes that some children walked up to the window of a cabin, and one peeked in and reported that there was a mostly empty room, with chairs folded up against the walls. When another child entered the cabin just moments later, there was a table with chairs set up around it... almost as though some ghostly presence was welcoming them.
