Let's be honest: we're spoiled here in Maine...
Every week we will feature a new hometown and share photos and facts using hashtags on social media. This week our #hashtag hometown is Millinocket (and East Millinocket)!!
There are hundreds of ghost stories in Maine to comb through but few have as many "encounters" as have been reported about the "White Lady of Millinocket". That's the name given to the apparition that dozens of people have claimed to see on a bridge located on Route 11 on Brownville Road right outside of Millinocket...
Growing up in Millinocket, the sound of the town's fire horn was always there at 8:00 a.m. sharp...unless the time change hit and no changed the fire horn time to match, then at 9:00 p.m., when the curfew hit, and our parents told us to be home when we heard the horn.
