Widows

From The Dark Shadows Wiki

The widows were women who hung around the cliff in Collinsport, Maine in the early 19th Century, looking out to sea for their husbands to return. The cliff was named Widows' Hill because of their presence (12).

When Jeremiah Collins decided to build his mansion Collinsport on the hill, he sent the widows home, telling them to keep their grief to themselves. Some folks in town claimed that the widows never left the hill and that their ghosts still haunted the cliff 150 years later (12).
