Question

Lucy Keyes, 1751, Princeton MA, never found

Answer 1

On April 4, 1755, while apparently following her two sisters to Wachusett Pond, 4-year-old Lucy Keyes disappeared. She was never seen again. But her mother, Martha, never stopped searching for her. ``The stories are told that she flirted with insanity, that she would go out nightly in the woods, calling for her daughter," says Stimpson.

After Martha Keyes died in 1789, the legend began to build. Some came to believe that Martha's restless spirit was still abroad on the mountain, searching for her daughter. Some imagined that they could still hear the tormented mother at night, her voice carried on the wind, calling ``Luuuc y." Some still do. A local woman told Stimpson she had seen an apparition of a woman in Colonial garb on a mountain road. A groomer at the Wachusett Mountain Ski Area spoke of seeing fresh child-size footprints in the snow at 2 a.m.

``It's a tragedy that's sort of taken hold for 250-plus years," says Mary Cadwallader, president of the Princeton Historical Society. ``The lore is that people today still hear Martha calling Lucy in the mountains and other areas. I just talked to the third graders, and all they want to hear about is Lucy."

Perhaps it's understandable that the story of a lost child and a mother's unappeasable grief would reverberate through the years. The tale made its way into Stimpson's imagination and wouldn't let go. ``If you have any inclination toward belief in the spiritual world, the paranormal, this is the perfect situation," says Stimpson. ``A mother yearning in the afterlife for closure, and the fact that it's still unsolved."
