Eliza’s Spirit

07.23.2005 | 8:43 pm | Bangor, Maine, United States

During the 18th century, a witch named Eliza lived is this home. Since her death in 1831, every family that has resided in the house was haunted by her spirit. In 1945, the house burned. Eliza’s spirit, however, continued to wreak havoc, often screeching during the night. Some brave souls have stayed at the site and have all met Eliza.

  3. Hi, I read a similar anecdote on another website that said this site was somewhere on the Bog Road (Off Rte 2 near Hermon). I drove the bog road several times looking for anything that looked like an old house site but no luck. I also looked in the local Library for any mention of a house burning in 1945 on the bog road but no luck there either. I’m beginning to think it may be made up. If anyone finds out anything about it I would love to know. email me at spcop1366@yahoo.com.

  4. I heard this story as a kid growing up. It was a tall tale. A very tall tale. Hopes this helps. Now if your interested. Visit the Lucerne Inn in Lucerne, Me. And request room 8. I have had friends say they heard voices outside the room.

  14. does anyone know Stephen King?

    Comment by loops | 10.6.2006 | 11:46 pm

  15. I do live in Bangor, and I’ve never heard of this story. Although, I have heard of the Lucerne Inn being haunted, but I’ve been told it is room #5 that is haunted. =] It would be cool to have something exciting happen in bangor, Maine for a change!

  17. I believe that the house that I used to live in was haunted at 86 Oak street Ellsworth, Maine. Too many unexplained things happened there.

    Comment by BJ | 11.4.2006 | 9:03 am

  18. I would like to know where this place is. Could you send me the address?

    Comment by kristina dugas | 11.22.2006 | 4:10 pm

  19. I have lived in Maine all my life. I grew up with all these stories. I have heard this one many times growing up. I also heard about Al Brady and the Brady gang. He is supposed to haunt Bangor. Central Street Downtown Bangor to be exact. He died on Oct 12, 1937. Columbus Day. About 8:30am. He was gunned down by authorities. He has an unmarked grave in Mount Hope Cemetery.

    I remember this story for several reasons. I remember hearing about the house. But always thought it was a legend because there was no address or any information on where the house was located.

  20. I have never heard this storie in my life. It is probably because I don’t live in Bangor.

    (I know Steven King!! no joke!!My mom used to live in Bangor.She lived two or three houses down from him.):)

  21. This is weird. The “do you know stephen king?” thing was so random. And i might believe it. If it was more believeable.

    Comment by destiny | 01.2.2007 | 9:27 pm

  22. Stephen King and his wife Tabbitha are very nice.A little secluded but I can’t say I blame them.They have put bangor on the map and have done so much for the city of bangor.Including a nice swimming pool for the kids.

  23. Hello ghost lovers!

    Well thats a nice story but alot of bull as far as witches are concerned the only exist in myth and not in real. They were only perceived to be in olden times but were mere human beings that never worshiped Christ and hence Witches gimme a break if so gimme the address and i will send in the ghost busters hehehehehehehe!

  27. I go to school in Bar Harbor Maine at the College of the Atlantic. Sea Fox is haunted. It is a residence hall. There is a near-sighted ghost that haunts the shadows…and the kitchen. It leaves behind kryptic messages on the fridge and a wretched stank. It likes a quiet house and if there is too much noise the ghost will come and open your door. If the dishes aren’t done water covers the floor and the stink is overwhelming for days. There is also a ghost that can be heard late at night pounding down the stairs and making strange noises. There is also a mormon that haunts the halls. She is silent but stern. We would love to have paranormal investigators visit and halp us get to know more about these spirits.
    Please Let us know.

  29. Ive heard this story, but with the fact that she killed herself…I still dont believe the story

    Comment by jd | 09.16.2007 | 4:25 pm

  30. Great story. I have a very good one myself. I have lived here in Dover Foxcroft, Maine for all my life. At one point in my early teens my family rented a home in town. Unusual things began to happen almost instantly once we began to occupy the house. One night I was “visited” by a dark shadowy figure in the door way of my bed room. Which scared me to death since I had my door closed and locked at the time and it now stood wide open to the hallway beyond. My mom was nervous for her own reasons as well which she refuses to talk about to this day. With some inquiry on my mom’s part she found out through the realtor that the home was owned by an eccentric elderly lady who had the quirk of never letting anyone pass into her home past the kitchen area. This included her best friend. Needless to say the home has been sold and resold several times now with each new owner only staying for a very little amount of time.

  31. Maine sucks. End of story.

  32. I know for a fact there is a place in Lebanon New
    Hampshire that may be haunted. Theres an old cemetary there called the Old Pine Cemetary and we use to live by it. Some nights really late at night you could hear a horse and carriage coming down the road but if you were to look there would be nothing there but you could still hear it going down the road. They say it was a black horse and black carriage that use to carry the dead to be buried in the cemetary long ago. And that it still goes up and down the road looking to pick up dead people.

  33. I grew up in Bangor and I have never once heard about this story. The only thing in Bangor that is supposed to be haunted is the Mansion next to the YMCA near downtown and then Water Works which I do believe is haunted because I went there one night and most definatly heard something and saw something with my friends scared the ish out of me and sent us running all the way home.

  34. When i was a kid liveing in Long Beach California, we had an abandoned Hospital nearby, a friend and i use to sneak in a broken window on the bottom basement floor. the first time i went we didn’t get to far in the place, but the second time we ventured further and incountered strange stuff. the lights kept flicureing on and off. there was always this strange feeling we were being watched. the last time we went i saw the figure of a woman in a hospital gown, she was closer then i wanted her to be, so i never went back. as an adult i would love to go back with a camera and check the place out. if i could ever find it again.
