The Murdered Sailor of Blue Posts Inn

Portsmouth has a dark side. It’s a side filled with legends of ghosts, hauntings, and unsolved mysteries. One such tale is that of the Blue Posts Inn, a long-gone establishment infamous for a gruesome murder that has left its mark on the town to this day. This is the story of the murdered sailor, a restless spirit said to haunt the streets of Portsmouth long after his life was taken in a bloody confrontation at the Blue Posts Inn.

Portsmouth at the time was a bustling port, with ships constantly coming and going, and the Blue Posts Inn served as a watering hole for the hard-drinking sailors who frequented the town. But it wasn’t just a tavern; the inn also offered rooms for rent, catering to those who needed a temporary place to stay while they were on shore leave. By day, the streets around the Blue Posts Inn were filled with vendors, children playing, and the general business of a colonial town. But by night, the atmosphere shifted. The shadows seemed darker, the streets quieter. It was the kind of place where brawls broke out over spilled drinks, and whispered deals were made in shadowy corners. And it was in one of these dark corners that a brutal murder took place—one that would be etched into the town’s memory for centuries.

On a particularly cold night in 1799...

“Far and wide among the nations, spread the name and fame of Kwasind; No man dared to strive with Kwasind, No man could compete with Kwasind. But the mischievous Puk-Wudjies, They the envious Little People, They the fairies and the pygmies, plotted and conspired against him.” – Excerpt from The Song of Hiawatha – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow The Ultimate Guide to Pukwudgies! - Part 1 - Hockomock Swamp Pictured: Not Dagobah Just mention the name “Hockomock Swamp” in New England and you’re going to conjure images of ghosts, monsters, and lots and lots of mosquito bites. Those things are just on the surface, though. If you really know what’s going on then the person you’re talking to is going to be immediately reminded of the Pukwudgie. You don’t even have to be talking to someone to make it happen! Just say it to yourself, we’ll wait. See?   This guy gets it!

There are two sides to every story and two sides to every person. There’s the story you get publicly, with all of its embellishments and inaccuracies, and the story that’s actually true. It’s just like the public persona a person puts out and the private individual with his or her own thoughts and motivations. Such is the case with Arthur Blood and Lancaster Town Forest. Talk to some people and you’ll hear the story of a kindly old gentleman who donated his private land so his town could have a public, wooded area to explore. Talk to other people and you’ll hear the tale of a murderous psychopath who slashed his way through the local populace after he lost his mind. Which story is true? Well, we may never know. One thing is clear, though: Blood Town Forest will always be a great place to take a hike!   Nothing creepy to see here! The Hauntings This is a story that’s best to start off at the final result. Camp or hike through Blood Forest and you might just run into a few victi

“The Pukwudgie is also native to America: a short, grey-faced, large-eared creature distantly related to the European goblin. Fiercely independent, tricky and not over-fond of humankind (whether magical or mundane), it possesses its own powerful magic. Pukwudgies hunt with deadly, poisonous arrows and enjoy playing tricks on humans.” – Excerpt from Wizarding World – J.K. Rowling The Ultimate Guide to Pukwudgies! – Part 3 – Pukwudgies Okay, so here we are! This is the end of the Pukwudgie series and we’re going to talk all about these little guys!
