2 Spooky Spots In Camden

Be brave and try visiting these two places after dark. Maybe you’ll see something. But until you check into your luxury vacation rental with us, learn a little more about Camden and its fascinating history and urban legends. 

Maiden Cliff

The story about the Maiden Cliff is shrouded in mystery and tragedy. The story goes on about a woman who fell from a cliff. It’s said that it was a windy day, and a gust of wind blew her hat off her head. When she tried to grab it, she stumbled off the cliff.

There was no evidence that she died on impact or if she was taken to a hospital. A cross and plaque are at the bottom of the cliff. The true story involves a 12-year-old girl who fell over the cliff and later passed away in the night. It is believed she met her ultimate demise due to internal injuries. Hikers visit the cliff every year to honor this local legend and visit the cross and plaque.

Goose River Bridge 

If you are brave enough, venture out after dark and try to drink a pint with “The Pitcher” on the Goose River Bridge. The legend surrounding the Goose River Bridge goes back to the Revolutionary War. The story says William Richardson walked on the bridge after celebrating America’s victory. He bought pitchers of ale and passed out drinks to anyone willing to celebrate with him.

Later that night, he either fell over the side of the bridge or was killed by a British sympathizer on his way home. Today, the ghost of Richardson supposedly haunts the bridge, offering people passing by a drink. They call him “The Pitcher” now because he is seen holding a pitcher of ale.

Maine in the fall is a premier destination in the United States for those who love photography or enjoy autumnal hiking. There are so many tremendous sights to see, and it gets even better once the fall colors come into focus in Maine. Take advantage of the season and take photos for Instagram or another of your favorite social media sites. You can start your expedition to the beautiful state of Maine from the Camden Harbour Inn.

Mount Battie Trail 

You will want to get up high at least once when it’s fall. The Mount Battie Trail is about a mile long and isn’t hard to hike. There is some scrambling involved, however. Once you reach the Mount Battie Tower, you will be treated to an amazing panoramic view. This view is best seen during the fall as a sea of fiery red and orange foliage is laid below you.

Camden Harbor 

This spot is the closest to the Camden Harbour Inn and is one of the best, regardless of season. You’ll get wonderful views of the ocean and the coastline. We suggest heading to Harbor Park for some great photo spots. One of the best places to take pictures is near Megunticook Falls.

Owls Head Lighthouse

You can’t leave Maine without stopping at one lighthouse. There are some spectacular lighthouses along the coast, with awe-inspiring views. The Owls Head Lighthouse is outside Camden, giving you a unique view of the bay and more. If you want to see more lighthouses, others are not too far away, such as Whitehead Island Lighthouse, Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse, and Marshall Point Lighthouse.
