Ghosts @ Biddeford City Theatre

At this historic theater building, strange things are said to happen. There is a face above the stage, and the eyes on it seem to open, close, and look around. There are also unexplained voices and noises, and lights that flash and flicker.

Big Moose Township

Hiking 

Eagle Rock - There is no sign....just some red tape on the side of the road, marking the entrance!  

Directions:  travel to Greenville. From the blinking light take Rt#15 towards Rockwood. Approximately 9 miles or slightly less, take a left on the Burnham Pond Road. Unfortunately, there is no road sign on the Burnham Pond Road. It is a well traveled but fairly rough dirt road. Anyhow, while on RT#15, look for a prominent boat launch sign beside a road down to Mountain View Pond. The Burnham Pond Road is the next dirt road to the left after this one off of Rt#15. There is a small gated road to the left but disregard that one. Take the Burnham Pond road 3.7 miles until you have to turn left or right. Turn left. Go straight for 1.2 miles and look for the trail on your left
