I think it’s true. Stranger things have happened here in South Dakota that nobody can explain. We all hear the stories and warnings. Some people refuse to even talk about it.

I live in Saco and have swam in the saco many many times in my life. The Saco River is a very dangerous river with some nasty undertoes in spots. As far as it being haunted it very well could be,Maine is a very haunted place. A cousine of mine’s father was direct descendent of Judge/colonal Johnathan Buck (Bucksport,Maine) He had a witch hung and she put a curse on his grave of her foot. I’ve driven by it several times and it freaks me out every time!!!

It’s True! I drown there 3 times last year! Could it be people there can’t swim or are too dumb to know how dangerous rivers can be? Just curious…any questions email me via seance.

My husband told me a close version of this story (which appears in several other forms as well that can be looked up) when I first moved to Fryeburg in college. I can tell you from swimming in the Saco myself that there are several weird anomalies that I haven’t seen in other rivers – like the underground ledge that almost caught me unawares my first time practicing scuba diving (minus the heavy air tank) and would have trapped my drowned body underneath it for quite some time had I not seen it coming toward me and gone over the top, scraping my belly badly while fighting the current that so wanted to keep me down there.
After that first experience with the Saco, I always waited until the news of the third drowning before swimming in the summers we lived nearby. Whether it was because I was more aware of the river’s oddities or whether it was related to the curse, I never had another “near miss” – but I’ll still wait for the third drowning report before I take my kids over to canoe, kayak or swim the Saco.

This is actually true. A lot of out of staters don’t believe it anyways, but the story is true. The Saco claims at least three lives each year. It’s never in the same spot of the Saco either.

Maine sucks. End of story.

I live on the saco river and I agree that 3 people die there every year.

OMFG thats really scary….

This is completely true. I grew up in the city that teh river gets it’s name from! Saco, Maine. We learn about the curse in grade school but most know of it before hand. Check any local papers and such…you gotta love Urban Legends…even worse when they’re true!

I Grew up in Saco right on the river, as a child spent many a Saturdays talking to the women quite elderly at the time over at the York institute Museum, they told me many stories about Saco, and the Indians, in fact in my own neighborhood was an old colonial cemetery , and there on the unsanctified outskirts of this cemetery where some Indian graves, a grave of a mother and a child, a child who was drowned by early settles in Saco to see if an Indian baby really could swim, it could not and drowned, the Indian baby’s mother is the one to put the curse on these three men to drown, and the curse continues to this day!

Hardly no one swam in the river until 1948 or 49 when there was a whole year where there were no deaths. It was also said that it wasnt the woman and 3 men that died, but instead the men were playing a trick on the woman and threw her baby into the river. She got him out but he got sick and died. The baby was the chiefs son which is why he placed the curse on the river. It was also said that the chief made peace with the white man a while later but people still continued dying in the river. My opinion is that it’s just a river with a nasty current. Lots of those around and not because of a curse.

I think the story is true. So many ppl have drowned there and there are always at least 3 ppl a year. And it just so happens that it is always 3 white men. Any of u ppl who think it is not true can look it up and stop being stupid. Also sammy what the hell is ur problem ur messages don’t even make sense. Are you a ******* baby cause u are soo imature.

i live in saco and it is true i kno people who died in the saco river

I live by the Saco River and the legend is true. At least three people die every year on this river.

I don’t believe in people casting spells and ****… coinsidence!

yeah its true and actually to tell u the truth the cops and coast gaurds are actually looking for a 12 year old boys bodie right now he fell in yesterday afternoon.so yeah for u people that dont live in maine look up stuff about the saco river its not a safe place

They found him…he is the third to drown this year…but the river may claim one more male, as one of the victims was female…
