33. Boon Island: Shipwreck, Starvation, and the Haunting That Followed

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.
