It does happen. The Saco river is notorious for killing swimmers. Someone just died recently.

If you want the true story of the curse…look up “Squando” online. He was the chief, I believe. The child drowned was his son…and he placed the curse on the Saco River. I’ve lived here all of my life…and it’s TRUE!!!

It is very true. I believe more than 3 have drowned this year already.

people the sacoriver is very long river and its easy to have 3 die a year

I’ve been living in Saco all my life. I live on the Saco River, and every year a few of my friends, and others have passed away in or on the Saco River. I believe the curse is very real, and if three or more people haven’t been taken as victims yet, I strongly suggest you be very careful if you decide to partake in any activities on or in the river.

It is true. I know quite a few that have died there. If you live loval, every summer when someone dies, people will talk about it and how many that makes for the year. If you’re not local, then you can’t say it’s not true if you’re just talking out your ***.

I have been coming to Maine all my live and I have heard storys about the curse of the Saco river. When I was in my teens my Aunt lived on the saco river one summer day a freind and I went for a walk on the river and we saw this boat with three or four man in it and all of a sedden we heared screaming so we turned and looked to see what was going on and the boat was going around and around very fast so we ran to get help but by time they got there it was to late.
About 15 years ago my husband and I movied up To Maine and were he is working there is this guy that was telling my husband a story about the river and it was the same one as I had seen it was weired that all these years later I meet someone that was there the same day and saw what I did.

I live in Maine,and I hear of some people who have died every year in the soco River.In the year of 1969 my bother and his friend died in the Soco river.They fell asleep on the highway and drove into the Soco river.

It is very true three men do die in the Saco every year and I remember this guy who was swimming with his family at Hiram Falls he started to drown and there was nothing his family could do about it and it took about 3-5 hours just to find him and it is sad cause this is a small town and everyone knows everyone

I have lived in Bidd or Saco my whole life and right next to the river for a good part of it. At least 3 people die in that river every year. Just go over the bridges between the two cities or the railroad bridge and look at the memorials that are replaced or put up from someone that has died there.

in 2008 there were 5 drownings in the Saco Bay (the Saco River Delta); 3 in 2007; I know, because I live on the first house after the bridge over the damn, and every few months, I watch from my bedroom window as the National Guard closes the dam, and dredges the river in search of bodies. Most years the bodies wash up 2 or 3 days later, in the Gully at Old Orchard Beach

Seriously… I live in the area and have gone canoeing, camping, kayaking, etc. etc. on the Saco since I was a kid. My friends and I have even jumped off bridges into the river and no one’s gotten hurt from that. The river can be really unpredictable and the fact of the matter is that some people are just plain stupid. Kayaking in flood waters in the spring? Of course someone’s going to die if they attempt that. Yeah, there’s a legend about the river, but isn’t this also like saying the ocean’s cursed because people drown in it? I’d chalk this one up to coincidence (and for the record, I am a believer in the supernatural).

About this soco river…It could be true or it could not.The only way to find out is lissen to our Maine news and see if anyone got killed in that river this year and lissen how many got killed in other rivers in Maine.I just know my brother died in the Soco River,but it wasn’t the river that killed him,but it was the drop from interstate 95 and falling asleep and going down a hundred ft. to a crash into the soco river.If the river wasn’t there,I don’t know if him and his friend would be alive now.I have heard storys of drownings in the river and kids diving in and died. I never payed attention how many died.But I will pay more attention.I too have conoe down the River with lots of other people,and it is very populated in the the summer.If only we would know the unknown,if three die or not every year.

i was at the saco river one day and i was climbing on some rocks… and i slipped fell and hit my head!! i had to be rushed to the emergency room… i have gone back but i dont go very deep anymore and dont climb on rocks!!!

i live in cutler maine and my house is very haunted.So i believe all of these legends are true.I guess people don’t believe it cause they haven’t excperinced anything like this well i hope some day that the ones that don’t believe something strange will happen to youuuuuuuuuuuu……. Ha Ha Ha Ha ………..

can u tell me more im a ghost hunter

i live rite along the river on Bartlett St.
i’ve only known to 1 kid who has dead there
it was only last year too. but….
I HAD NO FRICKEN CLUE I WAS LIVING NEXT TO A HUANTED RIVER!
I USED TO ALWAYS SIT ON THE PEER! WHAT IF I DIED OMFG!
(lol spaz attack)

This is definately true. I lived in Maine half my life and its always proven to happen. Maine was home to a vast Native American population. I’ve heard the legend of the curse and its always been told the same way. To play the sceptic a moment, there are parts of the Saco River that are pretty swift, and to a novice can prove tricky. Still, interesting coincidence.

i live right next to saco. believe me. more than three people die in the river every year

Omg you’re all bull, it’s real like that Brittany girl, uhh hello?
Raymen was my best friend he died there. What about that girl in the car those tw people. And that girl who jumped off, there’s now a cross on the river. So like I bet you don’t even LIVE in Saco you torists. I’m the one who lives in Sacco & my dads a fire fighter, so ther IS three people a year.
