Bucksport, Maine Transforms Into “Ghostport” for One Spooky Day

Year '17' is here! Get ready for a scary good time in Bucksport, this month!

This is such an exciting time of year. Fall truly is the best, because there are so many Halloween-themed events that take place all across the state of Maine, and there is no place that makes you think of all things spooky, like the town of Bucksport!

Bucksport is home to the Cursed Tomb of Colonel Buck. The "tomb" features a mysterious stain, which is an image of a woman's stocking-clad foot, or maybe a boot. The leg stain on the memorial, came about when Colonel Buck burned a witch and her leg rolled out of the bonfire.

In that spirit, one of Maine's greatest spooktacular days is almost here! Be sure to mark your calendar for Bucksport's 17th Annual Ghostport, Saturday, October 17th, from 10am-10pm.

Ghostport offers a full day of Halloween and fall-themed fun along the waterfront walkway!
