5 Disturbing Unsolved Mysteries In Maine That Will Leave You Baffled
We’ve loved giving you articles with stories of spooky ghosts and haunted houses. But, a few readers have commented saying that they just don’t believe in that sort of thing and we understand why. It’s hard to believe that the ghost of a bride will stop your car as you drive down Brownville Road. Or, that sending your student off to college might mean living with a ghost in their USM dorm. But, some scary stories from Maine are actually real. Unsolved mysteries can be the most spine-tingling, simply because they are real. Here are a few mysteries that unfolded in Maine. While some have finally been solved, some are still as much of a mystery as they were the day they happened.

A search began and soon wooden struts were found. These were clearly not typical for this area. Soon after the discovery, more residents claimed that a motor had been dragged out of the woods and was used for logging. The only things never found were the bodies and any sign of the plane's fuel tanks.
While the current hypothesis is that the pair ran out of fuel and was forced to crash land in Maine, no one has ever truly confirmed this. Why were pieces of the plan found, but no bodies? Where did the fuel tanks disappear to? These questions still remain.
Our hope is that each and every one of these unsolved cases is solved, giving peace and closure to the families and friends involved. What are the mysteries in Maine that have you losing sleep?
