#MEwx Maine Haunted place #3

Museums of Old York Old York is one of the earliest and most beautifully preserved English settlements in the country. There are few better places to explore Maine’s history and heritage. However, visitors of this historic attraction have reported paranormal activity. With legends of prisoners, sea captains, witches, and families, the stories here are limited only by your imagination. One of the most popular stories took place during the days of witch-hunting. People have reported doors opening on their own, cold spots, and even seeing the figure of a woman who walks down the street alone. She is known as “The White Witch.” Allegedly, children from the nearby preschool have reported that the witch is friendly, sometimes visiting during recess to come play.

#MEwx Post #2 for another haunted place in Maine

Wood Island Lighthouse,  Saco Bay Woodland Lighthouse has its fair share of reported supernatural activities. In fact, the hit television show, Ghost Hunters, featured the lighthouse on a paranormal investigation. It all began in 1896 when Howard Hobbs, a tenant of Wood Island, was confronted by his landlord, Frederick Milliken. Milliken told Hobbs that the rent was overdue, and that is when the tragedy unfolded. To this day, it is said that if you stand quietly, you can still hear the footsteps of Milliken and Hobbs.

#MEwx #1 of the 4 most haunted places to visit in Maine

This is the first posting of  the four most haunted places in Maine for you to visit. Happy Haloween! Fort William Henry | Pemaquid Beach | 55 Minutes Fort William Henry was built in 1692 as the English fortified the frontiers of the Massachusetts colony. The fort’s construction was extraordinary, housing nearly 20 cannons and 60 soldiers. However, the fort’s splendor was short-lived. Before the area’s colonization, the land was home to many Native Americans. Tension continued between Native American people and the colonists. Tragically, in 1696, Native American Chief Taukolexis was hung by the fort. Local legend has it that he haunts the historic site to this day.

#MEwx Today's Weather Proverb

“Long foretold, long last, short notice, soon passed.” A weather system with gradual changes is more likely to stick around for a while than a weather system that moves and changes quickly. A shower or storm that only lasts a few minutes or hours is the result of dramatic changes in air pressure and temperature, which aren’t able to be forecasted with any real accuracy. If pressure and temperature changes happen slowly, however, it’s very likely that the weather system will stick around longer. These are also far more likely to be accurately predicted by meteorologists; slow-moving systems with gradual changes are obviously easier to read.

#MEwx Today's Weather Proverb

“The moon, her face be red, of water she speaks.” The color of the moon — particularly when it’s full and rising — can be an indicator of incoming weather systems. In a dry atmosphere (indicating good weather), the moon is seen as white. When the atmosphere begins to collect moisture, molecules in the air scatter light differently than in a dry atmosphere, and the moon appears redder. This moisture that is making the moon look red can be a sign of rising humidity, meaning coming rain showers.

#MEwx Today's Weather Proverb

“When the glass falls low, prepare for a blow; when the glass is high, let your kites fly.” Vintage old time barometer weather proverb illustration.   This is a simple proverb about watching and reading barometric pressure. In the early days of this weather gauge, it was called a “glass” (because a glass tube housed the mercury). When the “glass” is low — that is, when the mercury is low, meaning low pressure — you can expect rain and generally poor weather. When the mercury is high, a high pressure system is in (or coming in), and fair weather can be enjoyed.
