- In her latest story in her Maine Mysteries series, Katie Bavoso explores what caused a tannery town in Maine to collapse. Riceville was an unincorporated but bustling village around a leather shoe tannery in central Maine. In 1900, Riceville proper had 75+ people living in it. But by 1910 it was empty. Legend has it, a group of people came to town to do business one day and found everyone dead. What really happened to the people of Riceville?
Dear God, first of all they didnt make shoes there, they made leather drive belts used on industrial machines. They used the leather from Buffalo, hence the name of the stream "Buffalo Stream".. And its pretty much general knowledge that once the tannery burned, people moved to other towns seeking work.
When there are mass casualties in a community there is no one left to tell the story. This is a grim reality that haunted Eastern Europe 100 years ago and applies to the same situation here

You did an excellent job on the story unfortunately you did not know about the other two entrances into the town as well as Mike Marino who's a good representative for the team who investigated it the Bangor Ghost Hunters I would like to see more stories like this there are a couple of more towns not too far away as well as Old Logging camps that at the time I was investigating and researching but unfortunately I disbanded the team and now live in Missouri once again good job on the story Harold Murray former director of the Bangor Ghost Hunters Association

Wicked mysterious
BOO!!
No mystery here. What a crock!
No Dogmen or Windigos or Rougarou in MAINE l I've been here for 42 years and have never heard of any!!! We have reports of sasquatch-like creatures and Pale Skinny Woods Crawler things" Pale Crackhead looking things with sunken eyes that glow, but that's it for cryptids,l!! We do have "CoyDogs" our coyote bred with a timberwolf at some point long ago!!! They travel and hunt whitetail deer in packs of up to 20 or so!!! People think of coyote, as its southern cousins (the size of a boarder Collie), no no (Ours, are almost the size of a German Shepard) and has the temper of a honey badger, no natural predators, other than Black Bear or Humans!!! So they have a bit of an ego!!!:One bow-hunting season, (a pack of ten or so) chased a buddie back to his truck, he locked himself in his truck, but realized he dropped his keys when they were chasing him, he had to wait an hour or so, for his wife to show up with a shotgun and a spare key to his truck, they are no joke!!! Timber wolves were killed off years ago, before I was born, so unless coyotes walk on their hind legs, they were smokin some good weed, I call Bullsh_t on this one!!!
