While a lovely, historic place there's just something about Bucksport that leaves us feeling...creepy.
After watching the horrible sight, her caring son ran after the leg and saved it from the fire. Before being killed, she reportedly warned Buck that he would wear the mark of the deed forever.
Cut to a few decades later and his tomb bears the unremovable mark of a stocking-clad leg.
While there were suspects, nothing much came of determining who committed the terrible crime. But, what's worse might be the story of her burial.
While her body was buried in Oak Hill Cemetery, her head was kept as evidence for 100 years after the crime. Ultimately, the head was buried as well, but no one know for sure if the head was every reunited with her body.
For now, there's a small headstone marking where the body is supposed to exist.
These two cemeteries can easily be seen in a day. Oak Hill Cemetery is located at 34 Middle Street in Bucksport, while Buck Cemetery doesn’t actually have an address, but you’re sure to find it if you head to town.
