One of things Maine is best known for are their beautiful, old light houses, so it should come to no surprise that a large amount of their urban legends and ghost stories derive from them as well. In 1795 George Washington commissioned the Seguin Lighthouse just 2 miles from the mouth of the Kennebec River, located off the southern port, Maine.

The lighthouse was rebuilt in 1819 replacing the wooden tower with stone and then rebuilt again in 1857, with the addition of the light keepers quarters. There have been many keepers of the light throughout the years but none with a history quite as tragic as the following..

It was the mid 1800's and the lighthouse was being manned by the caretaker and his loving wife. It is said that because of the isolation, the keeper had decided to have a piano shipped to his wife for her amusement.

Unfortunately for the wife, she only new how to play a single song, and played that song so often the husband eventually snapped and took an axe to the piano, the wife and finally himself. It is claimed that you can still here the piano playing it's solitary tune to this very day.

According to legend the piano is not the only sounds of the supernatural known to derive from the secluded lighthouse. A young girl is also said to have died on the island and is buried not far from the eerie lighthouse.

Many of the various caretakers have claimed to see and hear the spirit of the girl running up the stairs of the lighthouse laughing and waving to the terrified caretakers. In 1985 the US Coast Guard was decommissioning the light house and became the witnesses to the buildings most profound supernatural experiences to date.

The Coast Guards Warrant Officer was woke up in the dead of night by a mysterious visitor after spending the day packing. This unwelcome guest appeared to be an apparition of a man, dressed in oil skins, and he was violently shaking the bed of the weary officer.

At that point the officer claims the man then told him not to take his furniture and to leave his home alone. The very next day, the boat that was loaded with the light house furniture had some sort of accident while being lowered into the water and sank, none of the furniture was ever recovered.
