1.) Haynesville Woods

American singer Dick Curless wrote a song about Route 2A in Aroostook County called “A Tombstone Every Mile,” and many argue that it is one of the spookiest spots in the Crown of Maine.

‍

Located off Route 2A in Southern Aroostook County. Before I95 was created, this stretch of road was frequently used for logging trucks to transport their lumber. Some areas of the stretch of road are considered very dangerous, with 90-degree turns deep in the woods. From tall tales about ghostly children, jilted brides, and disappearing hitchhikers, this stretch of road is eerie no matter the time of year you visit.

2.) Ghost train of the Allagash

Nestled deep in the Allagash wilderness are two eerie abandoned locomotives that hold a glimpse into Maine’s logging past. Once used to transport pulpwood to the Great Northern Paper Mills in Millinocket and East Millinocket, the locomotives are showing signs of decay in their final resting spots. Accessible through a truck drive through the North Maine Woods and a moderate hike or you can choose a winter adventure in by snowmobile. Whatever you choose, the adventure is worth the chilling reward.
