Learn about the ghostly legends of New England’s maritime past with storyteller Roxie Zwicker, Maine’s Mystery Maven. Zwicker shares dramatic tales of shipwrecks, pirates, ghost ships, haunted lighthouses, and mysterious islands drawn from the region’s rich seafaring history. The stories travel along the New England coast, from Rhode Island to the beaches of Cape Cod and north to the rocky shores of New Hampshire and Maine. Through these fascinating accounts, discover the maritime folklore that has shaped the region for generations.
Maine's Mystery Maven Roxie Zwicker has been entertaining the locals, visitors from away and curious souls with her unique stories since 1994. New England Curiosities, Roxie's company has been offering tours and special haunted events since 2002. Roxie is also the published author of 10 books on New England folklore.
