I lived in Old Town Maine and wrote a report on this topic. It dosent take place in Old Town Maine it took place in Bucksport Maine. They have removed the grave sotne and replaced it with a new one only a few days later the “boot” or “foot” ( what ever you want to call it) was back on the stone. they have amde attempts to git rid of it but it keeps comeing back.

The entire point of this legend is that THE IMAGE CHANGES THROUGHOUT THE YEARS!!! It changes from that of a foot to that of a heart! Everyone, everyone, in this are knows that and has seen that change in their lifetimes if they are more than a few years old. Over the course of a few years it changes completely from one image to another. This has been documented in many, many photos and is the entire mystery of the issue! No, I repeat NO REASON HAS EVER BEEN FOUND FOR THIS TRANSFORMATION OF THE IMAGE.

first of all this story is the bucksports John Bucks grave. and theres many varietions of it.

This is not correct. This is the story of Johnathan Buck from Bucksport and there is more to the story.

It goes along with most of what was already said, this was Bucksport, Maine. How it goes is it was John Bucks Mistress, at which he accused her of being a witch when he no longer wanted her or she was trying to tell him she was pregnant. She cursed him saying i was always dance on your grave, which is where the foot/boot image comes in, but if you look at the top of the stone there is also a heart, sorta broken, to represent her broken heart. I never understood how everyone always forgets about the heart part too, they both can be seen at the same time, it doesn’t transform as mentioned above, they always come back no matter what people have tried. The grave is on main street, but people are not allowed into the graveyard, she most you can do is look at it through the fence on the sidewalk.

The story in old town york is similar only the witch kept getting out of her grave so they laid a stone on top of the grave.

I have lived in Maine all my life. My family was from the Washington County Area. We went to visit many times and remember my mother stopping by the cemetary numerous times to show us the foot & the heart. They have replaced the stone many times only for the heart &: foot to reappear on the stone.

I live in Central-coastal Maine… I’ve been here my entire life. As a child my parents brought my brother and I to see the gravestone..In Bucksport. I’ll NEVER forget the image. As for the exact story, I’m not sure. I just know there was a witches foot and leg on the stone. Very very strange. I remember an article being in a local paper not too long ago as well
