Wicked Curious Radio - Ghost Trees & Coffin Point: Lost Legends of the Maine Woods

In this episode of Wicked Curious Radio, we journey into the forests of Maine through a collection of forgotten newspaper accounts from the early twentieth century. Hidden among their yellowed pages are tales of phantom caribou wandering lonely trails, haunted pines that groan when threatened with an axe, sacred trees that preserved lives during winter storms, and the mysterious Silent Brothers. The featured story takes us deep into the wilderness of Grand Lake and the infamous Coffin Point, where a fisherman vanished after declaring, “I’ll be back to supper… or I’ll eat it in Hell.” His disappearance gave rise to one of Maine’s strangest haunted clubhouse legends—a tale repeated by guides, woodsmen, and caretakers who all claimed to encounter the same terrifying apparition. Were these simply campfire tales… or did generations of Mainers preserve something stranger hidden among the pines? Join Mystery Maven Roxie Zwicker as she uncovers these forgotten legends and explores why the forests of New England have always been places where history, folklore, and the supernatural seem to grow together.
