Is There Anything to Do in Saco, Maine?

Dan's first story today is the retelling of the moments that led to one young woman becoming a firm believer in the paranormal. She sees something… experiences something… that she just can't deny.  Then, we'll explore the lore behind a curse associated with New Hampshire and Maine's Saco River. Lynze brings three fan stories. The first is an intense reminder to steer clear of ouija boards. Then, a creepy but not too creepy telling of ghost that has seemed to linger in the same machine shop for thirty or so years. Then, to finish out the show, a really bothersome story about a possessed stuffy! Thank you for continuing to send in your stories, Creeps and Peepers!Please keep doing so!!Send them to mystory@scaredtodeathpodcast.comSend everything else to info@scaredtodeathpodcast.comWant to be a Patron?

Through our fence, breakthrough thou not… we are protected though we may be frightened. Our life you may not steal, though we may feel SCARED TO DEATH."

In this chilling episode, we dive into one of Maine's most enduring legends—the Curse of the Saco River. What began as a tragic encounter between Native Americans and early settlers became an eerie legacy that has haunted the waters of the Saco River for centuries. Legend has it that a grieving chief, enraged by the drowning of his son, cast a curse upon the river, condemning it to claim three lives every seven years.

Kendra is bringing her family tubing down the Saco River this weekend - BUT due to all the rain, the water levels are high.... ruh-roh. Lifejackets for everyone!

October 9, 2022 Maine's Wood Island, about 35 acres in size, is about two miles east of the entrance to the Saco River and less than a mile from the village known as Biddeford Pool. Congress appropriated $5,000 for a lighthouse on Wood Island in March 1806 and the light began service in 1808. The 1808 tower lasted until 1839, when a new 44-foot conical rubblestone tower was built. Keeper Thomas Orcutt's dog, Sailor, achieved widespread fame in the late 1800s and early 1900s because of his habit of pulling a rope with his teeth to sound the station's fog bell for every passing vessel. Wood Island Light Station, Maine. Photo by Jeremy D'Entremont. In 2003, a chapter of the American Lighthouse Foundation called Friends of Wood Island Lighthouse was formed to care for the light station. The group has been working for a full restoration of the lighthouse tower, keeper's house, and other buildings. In the summer season, boat tours are offered to the island and light station from Biddeford Pool. Keeper Thomas Orcutt's dog, Sailor, became famous for ringing the fog bell at Wood Island. Courtesy of the Friends of Wood Island Lighthouse, a chapter of the American Lighthouse Foundation. Three people are interviewed in this episode. Brad Coupe is one of the founders of Friends of Wood Island Lighthouse and served as its longtime chairperson, and George Bruns is the current chairperson. Richard Parsons serves as the group's historian and his new book, Wood Island Lighthouse: Stories from the Edge of the Sea, was published this year by the History Press. This episode is also available in a video version on the USLHS YouTube channel, with added video clips featuring co-host Sarah MacHugh at Wood Island. This is part one of two parts; part two will be posted on October 16. The climb up the lighthouse tower at Wood Island

In this week's episode, we will discuss Buxton Maine, and why you should live there. Famously, the Shawshank Redemption mentions Buxton Maine, where there is a box by an oak tree but there is more than just buried treasure in Buxton Maine! Buxton is the perfect town, located on the Saco River, Buxton is situated close to Portland and Biddeford while still surrounded by the woods! Salmon Falls is the place for you if you enjoy hiking and swimming. Or if you want some larger lakes you are a quick drive to the Sebego lake region. There are a lot of great farms in Buxton and properties tend to be spread out so you are not on top of your neighbor! With a small government of selectmen, and their own police, fire, and emergency services you do not have to worry about slow response times living in a less populated area. Check out Buxton and let us know what you think. Let us know in the comments what your favorite thing about Buxton is, and remember, if you Make Maine Your Home, you don't have to do it alone!   View the blog post on my website...  XXXXX To checkout listings all over southern Maine visit: https://www.makemaineyourhome.realestate/ Check out our Facebook: www.Facebook.com/MakeMaineYourHome You can listen to the audio podcast on any podcast app.  Just search for Make Maine Your Home.

Wilderness therapy programs have evolved over the last twenty years to better help those with learning differences that impact mental health. Many young people who enroll in wilderness therapy programs have undiagnosed learning differences, including dyslexia, ADHD, etc., that need to be addressed for a healthy change to occur. In this episode, we dive into this topic with Sanford Shapiro, a learning specialist at Evoke, and Anson McNulty, Operations Director at Summit Achievement, who has dyslexia.   Sanford's Bio from the Evoke Website:  Sanford Shapiro, M.Ed Learning Specialist & Executive Consultant for Evoke Therapy Programs Sanford Shapiro is a learning disabilities specialist who is a highly sought after trainer and speaker, noted for his ability to bridge gaps between therapy and cognitive science. He has been interviewed on TV and in print for his insights into learning differences and social-emotional concerns. Education & Prior Work Experience Sanford has had an extensive career as a teacher-trainer, school director and special needs consultant. Sanford's knowledge is steeped in research and heart, born from personal and family experience as well as professional and clinical work. Known for his success with dyslexic learners, gifted students and those on the autism spectrum, Sanford's mission has always been grounded by sharp insights about the day-to-day lives of children and adults who learn differently. Strengths Sanford has lived abroad in Australia as well as the west coast and mountain ranges of the northwestern U.S. Sanford was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York and lived and worked in Appalachia and New England. These diverse experiences have reinforced the idea that different cultures are to be celebrated and yet always finding the joy in common ground. Interests Sanford and his wife Debbie, parents of two young adult sons currently live in the beautiful UNESCO world heritage city of Cuenca, Ecuador. This is their current base of operations and life, and enjoy traveling back to the USA for friends, family, and work. Sanford is also the author of two children's books, A Light Within (2017) and A Light Within My Dyslexia.   Anson's Bio from the Summit Website:  Anson grew up in the West Village of New York City, where he got to experience the vast culture and diversity the city has to offer. As Anson is dyslexic, he went to a special boarding school in midstate New York where he started to develop his love for nature. Anson attended Unity College in Maine where he received a Bachelor's degree in Outdoor Recreation Administration. Anson first discovered Summit Achievement shortly after graduating college. He was drawn to this work as it allowed him to be outside and give back to youth. He experienced so much support in his journey through dyslexia, and Anson wanted the opportunity to provide that same support to young people. Anson has worked at Summit Achievement since 2002. Since starting out as a guide, he's held multiple roles at Summit. Currently, Anson serves as the Operations Director, as well as being a co-owner. Anson is responsible for hiring and training guide staff and for overseeing the general day-to-day operations of the program. In addition to his education at Unity College, Anson is also certified as Wilderness First Responder, CPR Instructor, and CPI (Crisis Prevention and Intervention) Instructor. When Anson is not at Summit, which isn't often, he likes to spend time with his family on the Saco River and enjoys the scenic roads of New Hampshire and Maine on his motorcycle.

The Saco River is a popular spot for camping, canoeing, kayaking and especially tubing.  But to do so does come at some risk.  The Saco River is known for its strong undertow, surprisingly deep gorges and rough rapids in some areas.  But there may be another reason to be careful: a curse.

Saco River Camping Area is a full-service campground featuring more than 240 mostly full-hookup RV sites. The family-oriented campground offers tubing, kayak and canoe rentals as well as bikes, golf carts, laser tag and even wagon rides. During a typical season, more than 60,000 people use the campground as a base camp for a variety of adventures. Up to 14 Workampers are needed to help with maintenance, guest services and housekeeping. Workampers are paid $11 per hour for all hours worked. They also receive a free full hook-up site with cable television, Wi-Fi, free use of the laundry and a 30 percent discount at the camp store.

After eight wonderful years locked in the embrace of a warm cabin in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, it was time I had to move. The news came as such a shock that it hadn't occurred to me to shop for a home to purchase. Time was short. I had two months to find a place to move the entire kit and kaboodle, in an absolutely over-saturated rental market, tapped by AirBnB and second home buyers, finding a place to live is nigh impossible around here. But, the Universe provides!I share my experiences with the move, have a final fire pit at the cabin, and immerse myself in the icy cold Saco River to cleanse myself of all past negativity to usher in a new phase of my life.

Part 1: Dr. Pam Shervanick is a Board Certified Psychiatrist, International Speaker, Educator and founder of Syntropy based in Portland, Maine, whose mission is to help people make connections to align their mind, body, and spirit.  Pam’s personal mission is to create a paradigm shift.  The illusion that a person is broken, or that they are a victim to external circumstances, is only true if believed.  What if everything is the opposite of what we were taught as children?  What if the belief that we formed in childhood and solidified as adults are not helpful to us anymore or even true?  What if they are harmful?  Are the things that our cultures taught us to value empowering us?  Get answers to those questions and more in this episode! Part 2: Weekly Words of Wisdom - Lynda shares her personal story of kayaking on the Saco River and how by going with the flow of the universe she and her group were led to helping save canoeists.

In this episode we continue with our All Together Beer Competition, and we do what we love best - a beer tasting.  This time we taste a New England IPA and a Red, both of which we had not tried before.  Check it out!

Dwight Newcomb came to Mowglis in 1960 and 1961, unusually, as a member of the Junior staff beginning with John Adams pioneering Yearling program that has restarted again at Mowglis as a means of creating a transition year between camper and staff status at Mowglis. Dwight was close friends with Jim West who was also a Yearling at Mowglis and the two ofthem paddled a canoe together on a long river trip from the Connecticut Lakes region all the way to Maine on the Saco River.

We are guests on We Are The Worst podcast this week and things are about to get silly, so strap in! Since they are the most gracious hosts, Meader is up first and has a pretty outrageous tale of how white people are the worst. He takes us to the Saco River area of Maine in the time of the colonists. White people arrived and were getting along fairly well with the natives of the area, until some bros decided to test the harmful myth that native babies could swim at birth. Well, one thing led to another, and a curse was cast that three white men would die in the river each year until all the white people left its shores.

Join Amelia and Will this week as we take a look at some seriously spooky urban legends from the vacation state. The curse of Saco River! Pocomoonshine Monster! The Sabuttus Well! Catherine the ghost of Catherine's Hill! PLUS! Follow up stories about phone call ghosts from Drea Mora from The Unbelivers Podcast and from Julia who will be starring in Will's Wedding next year!

I Want to Believe the Podcast – S3 E14 – The Haunting of Wood Island Lighthouse SEASON FINALE!! Welcome to the I Want to Believe podcast! What lurks on the shores and structures of Wood Island? We’ll let ya know… But first!! A quick reminder that ALL of our I Want to Believe social media & email are below. ALSO you can watch my documentary, Otherworldly Amor on Amazon Prime right now, DVDs are available. Alright, enough of all that... let’s talk about the the Haunting of Wood Island Lighthouse. Wood Island Light is an active lighthouse on the eastern edge of Wood Island in Saco Bay, on the southern coast of Maine. The light is just outside the entrance to Biddeford Pool and the end of the Saco River. The lighthouse was built in 1807 and is a 47-foot white tower of granite rubble. The light itself sits 71 feet above high water. Its automated beacon alternates between green and white every 10 seconds. Wood Island Light is Maine's second-oldest lighthouse (after Portland Head Light) and the nation's eleventh-oldest. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places as Wood Island Light Station on January 21, 1988. As it stands right now, the United States Coast Guard maintains the active beacon of the lighthouse, while The Friends of Wood Island Light, a non-profit organization, has assisted the Coast Guard by maintaining and restoring parts of the lighthouse and keepers’ dwellings which they now own.

In Episode 85, Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger head to an island on the Saco River in Biddeford, Maine. This site is ground-zero for an alleged atrocity that took place in 1675, when three British sailors tossed a Sokokis Indian baby into the river to see if he could swim. The baby's pregnant mother dove in to try and save him, but also drowned in her frantic attempt. These British sailors didn't know it at the time, but this woman was the wife of Chief Squando, a powerful sorcerer. And the children were his. Squando placed a powerful curse on the river that gave rise to a legend and monster that took countless lives in the Saco River.

According to Native American legend, this New Hampshire river is destined to claim the lives of at least three people a year as revenge for the violence carried out by early settlers. Some attribute these deaths due to the Saco River’s deceptively fast waters, others aren’t so sure... Sponsors!

Catch the last days of winter at Fireside Sleigh Rides in North Conway, New Hampshire. Joining host Robin Milling are owners Jason and Heather Blakeney; brother and sister equestrian experts who took their love and expertise with horses hitching them to a romantic sleigh ride through snowy trails along the Saco River. Homeschooled, Jason tells Robin they would do their homework on horseback and both have degrees in equestrian studies so starting a business together where horses were involved was a natural progression. Arrive at a quaint log cabin office where hot apple Cider and hot chocolate awaits to take along on the ride. Jason takes out the sleigh led by Percherons named Freckles and Pretty Face with Freckles' foal in training leading the way or taking a break to nurse! Unnamed at the time, Jason jokes that patrons were all giving their ideas based on his shiny black coat such as Darth Vader for starters. They went with Pecos (like the river that flows through New Mexico and Texas). There is the private sleigh ride with room for four but two is always better for the full coziness of snuggling under warm wool blankets. Or if you want a party 'Big Red,' the Bob Sled can accommodate 10 adults and eight children. Both rides end up at a fire pit complete with sticks and marshmallows ready for toasting. Or bring your own chocolate and graham crackers and you can make S'mores. If you miss the snow, trail and wagon rides are available during the summer at their farm in Brownfield, Maine.
