Haunted Pemaquid Point Light

Pemaquid Point Light 1827

This lighthouse, located on an easily accessible point with a park and plenty of parking, is just a 30-minute ride down Route 130 from Route 1 in Damariscotta. The Pemaquid Point Light is featured on the Maine state quarter. (During the summer months there is a nominal fee for parking during the day.)

Reports of the paranormal include the ghost of a woman in a red shawl that has been seen near the fireplace of the keeper’s house here. Reports of electromagnetic field (EMF) activity and lights going on unexpectedly have also been reported. In one case a woman in the parking lot late at night reported seeing every light in the unoccupied building suddenly turn on at once.

A woman who visited the keeper’s house contacted Red Cloak Tours (now Maine Ghost Walks) and advised that she experienced wild fluctuations on her K2 meter, a type of EMF detector.

For the truly adventurous (and for those who enjoy a priceless view of the Maine coast) the keeper’s house at the Pemaquid Point Light is available for rent during the summer months. For information on renting the keeper’s house, check mainecoastcottages.com or telephone 207-563-6500.
