Is Sarah Ware still searching for justice? Or is something older wearing her shape? In 1898, Bucksport, Maine was shaken by the brutal and still‑unsolved murder of Sarah Ware. More than a century later, witnesses continue to report chilling encounters around — and beneath — the waters of Silver Lake. In this episode, we explore the life and death of Sarah MacDonald Ware, the investigation that failed to bring her killer to justice, and the decades of ghostly sightings that followed. From Almira Miles’ early claims of spectral knocks to modern encounters on the lake’s hiking trails, Sarah’s story refuses to fade. Featuring a special voiceover from Maine author and researcher Nomar Slevik, this episode seeks to uncover what might still linger in the dark waters of Silver Lake.
