By ABBy PArsons I ve seen her more than once says Nick Jules who works the night shift as a security guard for Portlands Time and Temperature Building at 477 Congress Street. She has fire-engine red hair and wears a floor-length camel-hair coat. Perhaps the ghost thats haunt- ing Portland Symphonys marketing offices on the mezzanine floor is just returning from a whirlwind perfor- mance of vaudeville in the old the- ater here. But wait the Civic Theater hasnt welcomed crowds in to the buildings Preble Street entrance since the 1950s Whoevertheelevatorghostisshes certainly been pressing some buttons. The first night I saw her she was coming across the lobby toward me continues Jules who has patrolled the building for six years and whose post is directly opposite the elevator. Im flipping through my log book check- ing to see if anyones supposed to be in the building and look up to say Can I help you She ignores me and floats toward the door. As she reaches the exit she just passes through with- out the doors moving an inch. Who says chivalrys dead After sensing her invisible exit Jules convinced himself hed just half awakened from a dreamuntil he saw her again. A friend stopped by on another night to talk some baseball Jules says. Out of the corner of my eye herecomestheladyagain.IsayDont look but when this woman passes us tell me if you see her.

Hope Cemetery Bangor T he second oldest garden cemetery in the United States was established in 1834 by the Bangor Horticultur- al Society in response to the influx of activ- ity and settlement along the Penobscot Riv- er Valley. Its rolling 300 acres are the final home of over 30000 individuals. The film version of Bangor resident Stephen Kings book Pet Sematary features chilling glimps- es of the grounds. The cemeterys official website lists the unmarked grave of gang- ster Al Brady among the tombstones and an article in The Examiner from March 2012 states that something eerie skulks along the rows between the graves. Al Bradys ghost You decide. Fort Knox Prospect On the west bank of the Penobscot Riv- er 172-year-old Fort Knox is a monument to haunted history. Although the massive granite structure was manned in times of war it never saw actual battle. Its drafty in- teriors are perfect for two annual events Octobers Fright at the Fort and the sum- mers Paranormal Fair. Fright at the Fort has been scaring the heck out of people for the past seventeen years. Visitors are led through the dark passageways of the old Fort where they are surrounded by lights fog sound and creatures of nightmar- ish dimension says Leon Seymour Exec- utive Director of Friends at Ft. Knox. Lo- cal volunteers line up to terrify people of all ages from New England Canada and be- yond. The Fort itself was declared the site of a residual haunting in 2011 by SyFys Ghost Hunters team following a thorough investigation. The team heard breath- ing and footsteps saw strange images on their thermal camera and heard dragging sounds and ghostly exhalations on their au- dio recordings. It seems Fort Knox is burst- ing with paranormal activity. Time and Temperature Build- ing Dr. Death House Casco Bay Portland Maines Forest City holds its fair share of spectres too. In the Time and Temperature Building on Congress Street a red-haired fe- male spirit reportedly rides the elevators and sends visitors to the wrong floors. Work- ers there report seeing an unknown wom- an strolling the halls then disappearing into thin air. In 2007 Portland Magazine in- terviewed security guard Nick Jules whod had more than one run-in with the flame- haired spectre. The first night I saw her she was coming across the lobby toward me. As she reached the exit she just passes through without the doors moving an inch. On an- other occasion Jules attempted to make con- tact with the woman. I lurched across the hallway to grab her but got an armful of air. Rachel Crawford co-owner of the vin- tage store Little Ghost on the first floor has also felt the presence. On Sundays when the buildings quiet its very creepy. You can hear the elevators moving of their own accord. She says she had no idea about the spirit when she named the shop. With the recent announcement for fore- closure who will inherit the Time and Tem- perature Buildings flame-haired phantom F urther downtown the William E. Gould House on State Street is sup- posedly haunted by the patients of a physician nicknamed Dr. Death who used unusual treatments on some patients ac- cording to Haunted Portland From Pirates to Ghost Brides by Roxie Zwicker. She also mentions how residents have heard phan- tom footfalls in the basement one felt tap- ping on her shoulder and a presence has been known to brush past people. A ghost- ly figure is often seen in the Gould Houses windows. One rumor is that the building was built on top of an ancient Native Amer- ican burial ground accounting for all the spirit activity. The waters of Casco Bay hold their own A red-haired spirit is said to ride the elevators of Portlands Time and Temperature building. She has been spotted floating through the lobby and vanishing through doors. Roxie Zwicker author and owner of New Eng- land Curiosities Tours spoke to Portland Mag- azine in 2006 about the souls that had ship- wrecked on Maines treacherous coast. Look beyond Nubble Light. That matchstick on the horizon is Boon Island Zwicker says so named because ships used to wreck on the desolate three acres of barren rock so often that sailors would leave boons or packages of sup- plies to help the unfortunate captives. One such ship was the Nottingham Galley wrecked in December of 1710 on its way to Portland from Ireland. York Beach was so close but a rescue raft was taken over by waves and the men aboard froze. Thirty-five men from the Nottingham scrambled onto the island which had no vegetation and was hit by gales capable of sending 500-pound boulders crashing into the rock and sea. The men ate seaweed but reacted violently. They got sick began to die Zwicker says.The first to perish was the cook. The captain had to make a decision. These were god-fearing men but they were starving. They resorted to cannibalism consuming the cook first then the carpenter. They were rescued by fishermen 29 days later but the shipwrecked men were never the same. Spirits on the High Seas
