Captain Buck’s Tombstone
Long ago, a man named Captain Buck fell in love with a woman who was known to be a witch. In order to protect his reputation, he left her for another woman. The witch cursed him, saying she would leave her foot upon his grave. Today, an outline of a foot is seen on his tombstone. The stone has been scrubbed and even replaced; the outline still remains.

It sounds pretty freaky. But oddly realistic.

Ive seen it in 1969 when vacationing. Awesome site, but the purple house next door to the cemetary was a eye opener. I was told that it was painted purple to keep the “evil” spirits away.

I’d rather believe in real ghosts, evp’s and hauntings, then a made up legend to fit a discoloration on a piece of granite. If you want a look and several articles explaining why it was made up then check out Maine Supernatural at http://mysite.verizon.net/vzeqnk8x/

I think it sounds realistic, but, a witch? I think its just a tid-bit farfetched.

I’ve seen it, when my sisters boyfriend worked in bucksport..It’s pretty cool, but I’ve heard different stories about it, like the guy getting buried with a bucket on his (Which I don’t think was true because who’d get buried with a bucket on his head) and his foot getting cutting off.

I’ve seen it a couple of times and it is pretty creepy looking. Theres also a heart on the top of the stone or something like that. I heard the story a little differently though I heard that he loves her then found out she was a witch and had to kill her. The way she was killed always chages with each story but the end result is she cursed him and said that she would always haunt him even after he died. That’s the way I heard it anywayz.

I used to live in Bucksport, and I was fascinated with this whole story. I’ve heard many versions of it – but, oh well. That’s bound to happen I guess. The just of the story has always remained the same. And really, the fact they could replace the stone and have the boot still be there, is totally creepy!

There is a rumor that the headstone of John Buck had been replaced. That is not true. I visited the grave today 10/9/06. THere is a mark on the headstone in the shape of a foot, but there is also an informational plaque right next to the grave that states that rumors of the headstone being replaced are untrue.

Well, really to be sure of it your story lacks a surtain taste. It does REALLY mater about what body part , really it matters why and how her “foot” got there and WHY THE FOOT?

from what i have read about and researched the foot is because of this short story:
the captain was with the witch and when they found out she was a witch the town wanted her killed and he did nothing to stop them. as a curse she said just before she died that she would come back and dance on his grave when he died.
