Camden - Maiden's Cliff - About 100 years ago, a young, 5 year old girl went to church with her family, wearing a brand new pretty pink hat she had received as a gift. Her family and the church members climbed to the top of the mountain (maiden's cliff) to have their church service. As the wind got stronger, her pretty pink hat blew off of her head. She chased it, not paying attention and fell off of the side of the cliff, into the rocky ocean below. She died there at the bottom hitting the rocks. Today there is a VERY large white cross marking where she fell and died. Some say that when looking below on the anniversary of her death you can see her pretty pink hat good as new floating in the water below, and if your quite enough you can hear her screams. - February 2005 Additional Information: When investigating this site, please take into account: The cliff does not overlook the ocean.

One day the young man returned from a session of heavy drinking on the mainland. The lobsterman found his new neighbor wandering drunk with a rifle in his arms and told the man to hand over the weapon. The younger man refused and fired the rifle at the lobsterman, mortally wounding him in the abdomen. In a daze the young man wandered to the keeper's dwelling at the lighthouse, where Keeper Thomas Orcutt advised him to give himself up to the authorities.

Strange events have been reported over the years at Wood Island, and some blame the ghost of the murdered lobsterman.
