Sunday Cemetery Series – Black Point
Thanks, again, to Windy for leading this incredibly informative meetup session at, yet another, cemetery. This time we visited the Black Point Cemetery in Scarborough and got a tour of the various artworks gracing the headstones of those buried within the late 1700's and very early 1800's.
The topic of this meetup was primarily centered around 1 gravestone artist/carver, as his works are focused in one particular section of the cemetery.

USS Salem MeetUp Investigation
Our big meetup event this summer was the USS Salem investigation members were able to participate in at the end of July.
Maine Ghost Hunters team members escorted roughly 40 members of our meetup group for an overnight investigation which lasted from 6:00 pm until 6:00 am the following morning. We were given open access to explore much of the ship, and access to areas closed off during regular business hours when tours are conducted.
The USS Salem operates as a floating museum ship and still contains original equipment, gear, electronics, and etc… from the ship's final days before it was decommissioned. It holds a rich history of original detail from bow to stern, topside to its lowest deck, and has been reported to house paranormal activity by the likes of TAPS Ghost Hunters Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson.
The USS Salem did not disappoint on the evening we investigated, as there were reports of people being touched, experiencing loss of balance, seeing visual anomalies in real-time, seeing visual anomalies on video in real-time, and hearing disembodied voices real-time.

USS Salem – 1st Night
Maine Ghost Hunters, along with invited guests, investigated the haunted USS Salem in Quincy, Massachusetts at the start of the 2010 summer. We had an excellent time getting the lay of the land and learning the nuances of the different areas reported to have paranormal activity. Among the attendees were members of 2 other Maine groups, and guests from Maryland and Minnesota.
The night we spent aboard the USS Salem was designed as an informal investigation evening, as well as an opportunity for those who would be participating in the next month's MeetUp investigation.
If you haven't joined our meetup.com website yet, and you'd like to participate in investigations we put together, we invite you to do so free-of-charge. Each individual meetup may have a fee associated but registering and joining the site to get on our mailing list from which you can learn about Maine Ghost Hunters meetup opportunities is free.

Sunday Cemetery Series – Pine Grove
If you haven't joined our meetup.com site yet, and you'd like to hang out with Maine Ghost Hunters for group gatherings and the occasional ghost hunt, you really should. Registration is free and we meet pretty often.
This summer we ventured forth with a bunch of gatherings at cemeteries throughout the state during our "Sunday Cemetery Series". Our members suggested cemeteries they'd like to visit, and we put them on the calendar. MGH is lucky enough to have, WindyK, a resident tapophile among our team members, and she presented us with incredible bits of knowledge regarding many aspects of the different cemeteries we held our meetups; aspects that were specific to individual involved with each of the cemeteries we visited.
The angel in the photo is at the Pine Grove cemetery near Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine. Joshua Chamberlain, his family, and many sea captains are buried here. However, one of the more fascinating burials in this cemetery is that of a white family and a black slave. The story of this family's history is quite fascinating. If you'd like to learn more about cemeteries, those buried there, the types of artwork found at each, the stone types, and the specific artisans who carved the pieces I would definitely suggest joining our Sunday Cemetery Series.
