Just off the coast of Maine lies a jagged, wind-battered rock called Boon Island.
In 1710, a British ship wrecked there in the dead of winter. The survivors—freezing, starving, and surrounded by nothing but ocean—were pushed past the brink. What happened next became one of the darkest survival stories in New England history.
But the island’s horror didn’t end with the shipwreck. Years later, a lighthouse keeper and his wife stationed on Boon Island suffered a loss so devastating, locals say their grief never left… and neither did she.
Today, some claim to see her shadow still pacing the tower—waiting. Watching.
This week on Weirder After Dark, we explore Boon Island’s brutal past, haunted present, and the chilling stories that prove not every ghost comes from war… some come from love.

Think you know Civil War history? Think again.
When Melanie Lanier set out to rescue her captured husband from Fort Warren, she wasn’t expecting her mission to end in tragedy… or that her final request—to be buried in a black dress—would spark one of New England’s most enduring ghost stories.
In this episode, we explore the true story behind The Lady in Black, the haunting of George’s Island, and why Melanie’s spirit may never have left. Love, loss, and one hell of a haunted fort.

Nestled beside the tracks in Ashland, Massachusetts, sits one of the most haunted pubs in New England—Stone’s Public House. Built in the 1830s by a railroad tycoon with a dark past, this tavern has seen it all: unexplained deaths, ghost sightings, secret basement chambers, and even rumored ties to the Underground Railroad.

In this episode, we uncover the eerie legacy of John Stone and the strange events that have plagued the inn for nearly two centuries. From spectral sightings in upstairs rooms to hidden symbols carved into the wood, the building seems to carry more than just memories—it carries something that refuses to leave.

So grab a pint, settle in, and remember: the spirits at Stone’s don’t just come in a glass.
