The almost mythic Witch's Leg, Maine's most well known Urban Legend?
The more I dig into Bucksport's History, the more
subjects I get for wild books. If you think about it, you have the witch's curse, a wildly believed and never dared
disputed made up story by a news reporter in town to cover the Sarah Ware Murder investigation in 1898. You
have a elephant named Charlie that ran amuck in 1892, for 2 weeks. You have a Sea Captain that was convicted
of murdering 3 and burning their home down. Then if you really dig deep, you find that the town is actually built on a
Red Paint Cemetery and the first Archaeological Dig in the State of Maine, maybe the Country was at Indian Point, where the
Mill stands today.
