Does anybody know about anything on the house that like, produces huge ammounts of sand? I heard that it takes up football fields of space and when removed the sand re-appears in a few days :/

I can't remember where it is, but yes I have heard of it. It is supposedly a curse somebody put on that property. I long time ago, that area was farm land and somebody in the original family of that house did something bad to somebody, and that person put a curse on the land. It started as just a small amount of sand, like maybe a two foot circle, then it just kept getting bigger and bigger over the years. The family was no longer able to grow anything and eventually was forsed out of the area. Now, there is a desert in the middle of a forrest. No body has ever been able to come up with a logical explaination for the appearence of the sand.

I heard it was Curse of the Pharaohs. A old curse. I have heard of that somewhere too Eva.
I have enough sand already in my house from my kids running in and out of the house

Interesting, maybe it's an aport? You know when things mysteriously appear from out of no where? But I don't think it can be a old curse.

I am not saying it is an old curse, that's just how the legend goes. The woman verbally "cursed" the family infront of witnesses and it just so happens that the family's luck went all down hill from there and that's when the sand begun to appear.

If you actually dug into the sand, I wonder what you would find. Because of the abundance of tree's in the area, I would suspect there would be a decent number of veins of water running beneath the sands.
This is a site as well I would personally like to visit. Maine is not a terribly hot state, and desert's are usually caused by heat, that evaporates moisture to create a desert environment. Does seem strange that a desert would spring from no where without being manmade in the middle of a forest.
Although, I guess it wouldn't be as different as an Oasis in the desert.

My family vacationed in Maine every summer till I was about 15. We went to Freeport to shop a lot.
I'll have to check this place out when I go back.

Maybe no curse after all:
"Poor farming practices of overgrazing and not rotating crops resulted in soil erosion and it turning to desert."

I love how you see all these lush green trees around it, and then, BAM, giant sandbox.

Yah um, you can't debunk this at all in anyway because of one... IT'S THERE LOL go visit it

and two, there's no explaination not matter what you say other than a curse. Sand doesn't come from nowhere without something weird like that.
