y and ghost stories from the state are as varied as they are prolific. Freelance writer and reporter Tom Verde first became interested in such eerie occurrences while researching first-hand encounters with ghosts for a series of public radio programs. This book recounts some of the spine-tingling tales he uncovered in his research, including:
-The dagger-wielding shade who terrorized a Portland couple
-The murdered Indian who revisited Means's Tavern
-Famed diva Lillian Nordica, whose voice still echoes through the Farmington auditorium named in her honor
-The hostile spirit who tried to frighten the tenants out of an Orrington house
-Even an entire phantom ship, bound eternally for Freeport

These are not fictitious creations of literary imagination. People from all walks of life--including many who were positive they would never believe in ghosts--attest to these encounters.
