While this is a family show, the cemetery setting, as well as some topics and visuals, may be upsetting to some. Discretion is advised.
In 1851, Maine became the first “dry state” in the nation. The passing of Maine’s Prohibition law was accomplished through the tireless efforts of Neal Dow: the teetotaling, temperance crusading, abolitionist, anti-immigrant Mayor of Portland.
But four years later, his work was undone.
The “Maine Law” was a major victory for Dow and the temperance movement until a fatal mistake: Dow’s pride and the anger of Portland’s working class (mostly Irish and German) exploded into a riot ending in one death, several injuries, and the end of Dow’s political career.
Hear from Irish tavern keepers, bootleggers, temperance supporters, suffering wives, newsmen, satirists, friends, enemies, and Mayor Dow himself:
Join a local guide for a spooky stroll in Portland’s historic Old Port neighborhood. Encounter true accounts of apparitions, psychic detectives, and even a haunted pool table in our 90-minute ghost walk. Meet at 1 Long Wharf (DiMillo’s Yacht Sales) at the 4th Ferry Landing in the DiMillo’s Marina.
The bustling 18th Century port was alive with the sounds of ship building, trade, and the occasional whispers about strange occurrences at sea. In Casco Bay in 1779, Midshipman Edward Preble, unaware of the hero he would one day become, witnessed a singular event.
The crew of the frigate Protector had glimpsed something uncanny in the water. Suddenly one of Edward’s companions pointed excitedly toward a distant ripple on the surface. Through his spyglass, Preble saw something that sent a chill down his spine. There, gliding smoothly through the water, was a creature unlike anything he had ever encountered. Its long, sinuous body moved with an almost otherworldly grace. Was it a yet undiscovered animal or the ghostly apparition of some long-dead aquatic dinosaur?
Expect to hear more surprising stories like this one and to learn about a variety of local paranormal happenings. Known for its picturesque waterfront, historic architecture, and thriving arts scene, Old Port reveals its darker side at night. Supernatural tales of this storied Portland neighborhood include apparitions, psychic phenomena, and a sea serpent nicknamed Cassie.
