In searching family, I have talked right along with the locals about The 4 conners and a cememtery but as soon as I bring Thunder Castle up they all back of as if I am some kind of Witch. No one will apeak about this at all, but I can tell they now. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. The only name I have is Celia Handy and she is buried outside and to the back of the cememtery; but someone puts plastic flowers on her grave or did every year. This is a real mystery I would like to solve even though she is not family. The locals will not talk about her either, they clam right up. I feel sorry for her; many things come to mind. I am reaching out for help.

Hey thesilkav...,
Thunder Castle Road comes up a lot on the internet. But nothing specific to the castle itself. You can get a date off the headstone for Celia Handy, that would be helpful. You should be able to get a death record for her, and an Obituary. The local library will have local papers with obits, or other references to her.
Family Search (LDS) has no death records for Celia Handy in Maine, but there are a bunch of records for Celia Handy(s) in the US. These are census records, and the like.
I doubt that any of those records are her. You might need to get a birth record from the local Vital Records, Death Record too. Then research for Thunder Mansion in the local library. You can ask for assistance remotly also. The libraries usually help, don't make it sound mysterious, just matter of fact.
As far as nobody talking to you in Maine, that is what they are know for, misdirecting strangers. Perhaps they really do not know.
