Summary

Kennebunk and Kennebunkport might look like your typical charming coastal towns, but they’ve got more than their fair share of ghosts. The Isidor wrecked offshore in 1842, and some say the ship is still patrolling the shores of Maine. The Wedding Cake House isn’t just weird-looking—it’s got its own share of ghost stories. And if you’re staying at the Kennebunk Inn, don’t be surprised if you hear voices when no one’s around.
