Maine Ghosts and the Peddler of Gouldsboro Tale
A fragment from a Maine paper recounts a dark coastal ghost tale set near Gouldsboro. It centers on Jimmy Cathers, a tin peddler, whose wagon and horse crash in a fog bound gully while wolves stalk the scene. The eerie episode blends mythic wolves, storm winds, and ghostly watchers, ending with the peddler’s eerie fate as he flees into the night along a haunted road.
