Augusta, Maine Weather

The River Creature Again, this tale is fiction, right? Well, is it?   We live near the Kennebec river in Augusta.  Those who live near rivers in New England know that sometimes weather conditions involving fog or mist can play tricks on your eyes when you look at the river. The following tale is compiled from repeated reports of strange things from those who live on the banks of the Kennebec river in Central Maine.  The River cuts through the middle of Maine’s capital City, Augusta, and has been a means of exploration, transportation, trade and movement of military forces and goods for as long as white men have lived in what is known as central Maine. Native Americans of the region lived on its banks, fished in it and traveled it for as long as humans have lived there.  The Kennebec is much like most rivers in New England, sometimes it’s tranquil, sometimes it floods. It gets dangerous ice dams every spring thaw and even has its own “river creature” legend. Or is it

Ask some of the old-timer residents of Sidney and Augusta, maybe it is, maybe it isn’t. ---------   My name is Roland dusette and I have spent the past month and a half researching two heretofore unknown legends in Maine from the Augusta and Sidney area. As an independent journalist I am submitting the following tales to print media outlets in Maine in the hope of selling them.   Poster’s Note: The tale that appears below was found in a hiker’s backpack along with a cell phone belonging to Mr. Dusette. The backpack was found between West River Road and roughly 100 feet from the Kennebec river in a thickly wooded area north of Augusta on the Sidney town line. Mr. Dusette has not been seen nor has anyone heard from him in the past three weeks. Mr. Roland dusette’s writing begins below.   The Kennebec Creature   Every Halloween I’m struck by how little is written a
