We still haven't decided where we're going this year. Because we won't be going to a DS Festival, unless there's one booked at the last minute, I think we should wait until around Halloween like we did in 2013. I've never been in Maine during Halloween, but if we do wait, we need to start making our hotel reservations now because hotels fill up at Halloween. I'd sort of like to spend Halloween in Bar Harbor. |

From their emails, its seems that everyone is agreeable to sometime in October for this year's trip. Right now, we're talking about spending half the time in Bar Harbor and the other half at the Black Point Inn, where we stayed last year. We're going to have to start making reservations within the next week to be sure there are enough rooms. I'm really looking forward to being in Maine in the fall, so that I can wear my fox fur trimmed cloak.

This is a very good and well-written article, but I've never had any desire to visit Maine. The closest I've ever come to Maine is when a friend and I drove up to New Hampshire from Connecticut when there were a lot of UFO sightings near Exeter in September of 1965.

It's cold, even here in Florida, tonight and I decided to read this chilling ghost story to my brother's grandchildren. They loved it!

Wasn't there a post in the old group about other haunted lighthouses in Maine? I seem to remember that there were a lot of them.

I seem to remember that Lee did an article about Maine's haunted lighthouses, or maybe it was something else that included some of Maine's haunted lighthouses. I remember that one of them was the one called Seguin Lighthouse that they visited on one of their Dark Shadows trips. I can't login to the old group anymore and I didn't save it, but I'd really like to read it again.

I copied most all of the ghost articles that Lee wrote and I don't remember one about a lighthouse named Seguin.

I'm reading a book called "Guardians of the Light" that I found at the library and while the job of lighthouse keeper may seem romantic, it was very hard work. I immediately remembered the story of Katherine of the Boon Island Lighthouse. Having her husband die and keeping the light burning must have been a horrible ordeal. It's no wonder that she never recovered.

It's 16 degrees where I am. A good time to read about the ice-shrouded ghosts of Maine.

It's 43 degrees here in Alabama, but I'll bet it feels colder than 16 degrees in Maine!

These stories do "crackle with ice" and they're absolutely superb.

When it's cold, and it's supposed to get down into the 20s this weekend here in Florida, I always think of these ghost stories.
