Seguin Lighthouse

Located on Seguin island is the second oldest lighthouse in Maine, Seguin Lighthouse. Although it shines a bright light onto the sea to guide sailors home, it is also known for its dark history.

Legend has it that in the 1850s a lighthouse keeper got married to a young woman. Newly-wed, the keeper decided to bring his new wife to Seguin Island. However, being isolated from everyone and everything caused the bride to become severely depressed.  In order to help with her depression and boredom, the keeper had a piano shipped to the island.

This was a great way to distract his wife at first. However, either due to only having one piece of sheet music or because she was going crazy, she played the same song over and over again.  Eventually her husband snapped. He took an axe to the piano smashing it to pieces. However he didn’t stop there. He then turned the axe on the wife, hacking her to bits. Finally, after realizing what he had done, he turned the axe on himself.

Although the lighthouse is abandoned, it is not empty. Ghostly sounds of a piano playing can be heard emanating from the building. Also, there are those who claimed to have seen the spirit of a man holding an axe drifting through the site.
