Annapolis - Old Bates Middle - Has been abandoned since the 1970's a lot of strange occurrences happen he if you put your ear up to the doors you can hear moaning and scratching. Rumors that people were killed here in the 1960's. it was a segregated school where only the blacks went in before it closed down a girl was thrown to her death out the window and was never found. Reports of lights being on inside with no power at all, also 5 years ago they tried to make it into a senior center but something scared them away after 2 months.
(note---this is in west county, 20 miles from Annapolis, but I have been there and a friend saw something that looked like a man with a goat head run across the road {it is near Bowie, famous for it's own unexplained creature, the Bowie Goat man---do a google search on that}---no shit :scared:
Annapolis - Governor?s Bridge Road - several reports of screams and cries being heard from the old bridge. There have been reports of cars seen hanging off of the bridge and then suddenly vanishing. Also, reports of as an old black car that suddenly appears behind your car as you are driving, quickly pulls up close to you, as if it is going to ram you, and then suddenly disappears.
(this one is a popular bar/resturaunt right downtown)
Annapolis - Middleton Tavern - One of the oldest buildings in Annapolis originally built in the middle of the 1700's and purchased by Horatio Middleton, after his death it was then own and operated by his son Samuel. Many famous historical personalities have been said to of stayed at the tavern, some of which being Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and the founder of our country George Washington. It is unsure to who walks the halls of the tavern, which is currently a restaurant and bar. But, there have been many many occurrences that seem to carry on in story. Whether it is the frequent plate flying across the room, to glasses falling off the bar's wall, as though they are being knocked off one by one, happenings seem to occur very often. On one occasion a table filled with empty dinner plates is unexplainably toppled over. And, on another instance, a restaurant employee witnessed a man in period clothing staring out onto the harbor, as though he was waiting for his ship to come in, and then as fast as the man appeared he disappeared. Shadows move across the rooms, and lantern mounted on the walls are turned upside down. The witnesses love to tell their stories, and almost welcome whatever it is that is there.
(One of my best friends used to live in Spa Cove. A drummer I play music with lives there now. The park is spooky at night)
Annapolis - Truxton Park-Witches Grave - This is found at Truxton park in Annapolis right across from Spa Cove apts. You go in the woods past the 3rd baseball field and you'll see a slanted tree where the witch was buried and escaped in the 1800's never to be seen again now it is rumored that on Halloween if you go deep enough into the woods you can see the bodies of the people the witch got hanging from trees.
I know this one too. I have seen the statue...creepy:
Baltimore - Greenmont Cemetery - Black Aggie - the statue of a woman over the grave of a civil war general is said to come to life if you sit on its lap at night. It's since been moved to the Annapolis courthouse.
My father had a house real close to this:
Baltimore - Lansdowne (English Consul) - The area formerly known as "English Consul" (now Lansdowne) is a very big place for haunted activity. An old Mansion that sits atop a hill from the 1700's is the center of the activity. Lansdowne was once a plantation for an apple orchard. The mansion's garage was once a slave house, also, a tree not far from the mansion was used to tie slaves, (and as legend would have it the English consul's brother) and beat them. And to this day residents still see a glimpse of someone tied to the tree.
I know these two areas:
Bowie - Daisy Lane - Believed to be haunted by girl who was abducted, killed and dumped on Daisy Lane in Bowie, Maryland. the articles about it dated from 1995 in The Washington Post. Just in case you're interested... APPARENT ABDUCTION, SLAYING END TEENAGER'S PROMISE Jon Jeter Washington Post Staff Writer March 22, 1995; Page B1 Section: METRO Word Count: 840 AND ALSO... POLICE SEEKING CAR POSSIBLY USED IN ABDUCTION-SLAYING ? any info, please contact the police.
Bowie - Fletchertown Road - Fletchertown Road has long been the subject of the story of the "Goat Man". Said to have escaped from the nearby Dept. of Agriculture Research Center and been an experiment gone horribly wrong involving breeding of humans and animals. The Goat Man is said to have murdered and eaten it's victims in the 1950's and 60's. The Goat Man continues to be a favorite ghost story among campfires in this area. In the 1990's Fletchertown Road was widened and many new housing developments sprung up in the area. The original road was one lane and heavily wooded. There were reports in the 1970's of a half man/half animal being spotted on the sides of the road, with red eyes and tattered clothing stained with blood.
This is a well known one I have been to:
Ellicott City - The Patapsco Female institute - Is one of the most haunted in the area. Reports of screams and there is a cold spot at the top of the huge stairs.
Even Freakier, one of the scariest places in Maryland...been here at night :scared:
Ellicott City - St. Mary's College - Hell House - The building was founded in 1866 and it's main building was erected in 1868. It is actually in Ilchester, MD not too far from Ellicott City. It is said that it was a catholic all girls school and the cardinal had impure thoughts which he took out on 5 nuns. A nun came foward and told the archbishop and the cardinal had to leave. The nuns were later killed and place above an inverted pentegram. Later more girls and nuns died and the school was closed down in 1972. Some say that the nuns at the school were practicing satanic rituals and some say that the cardinal came back to get his revenge. Unfortunately, the school burned down Halloween night in 1997 and authorites still do not know the cause of the fire. Some people have heard screams, girls laughing, and have seen a strange shadowy figure on the premises. There are tunnels underneathwith drawings in red of pentegrams and other markings. - A note to all who go, be careful because the building is no longer stable.
And this is one of the CREEPIEST places I have ever been to at night. My buddy used to live a mile from there. I can't even describe how eerie this one is even in daylight. :hide:
Glen Dale - Glen Dale Hospital - This hospital had its heyday back in the early 1900?s, but was abandoned in the late 1970?s. The hospital is made up of six different buildings on opposite sides of the road. The hauntings seem to take place in the two structures closest to the road on your right. Most doors and windows have been broken out and abandoned medical equipment is scattered everywhere within the buildings. Sightings have included a large pack of ghost dogs, ghostly patients wandering the second floor, and smoke coming from the crematorium. People have also complained of noises such as banging and yelling coming from the hospital walls; hear screams and sometimes laughter...inside there is sometimes a strong odor of burning flesh and smoke coming from where they used to burn the bodies...in one particular room there is said to be sightings of a man in a straightjacket who went insane after watching his family being murdered by an intruder to his home while he hid in a closet...he was so overcome with the guilt that he didn?t help his family that he went insane and eventually killed himself when he broke into the room where they kept the medication and overdosed.
I grew up not far from this one and I can tell you this road and the whole area back there are very, very creepy. When you cross the first bridge onto the other side of the Patuxent, it starts to get creepy. There is a fork with three ways you can go. South is creepy, but not as bad. Straight is really creepy, especially the grave yard and the old church at the end. North (right) is the worst. There is a little village called woodwardville, known locally as "Vampiretown". I think I saw zombies there one night (no joke, no drugs) or they were just really creepy Goth people standing in the middle of the road in cold ass November at 11 pm and 1 am, both time I drove by them. :scared:
Odenton - Patuxent Road - The story is told that on the old narrow bridge there late at night you can hear cries of a baby. Also on certain nights at midnight you can see a "ghostly" woman pushing a stroller. The story says that the woman and her child were killed here years ago by a passing car. It has also been said that from time to time late at night you can also see the car and it will suddenly vanish. (there is also a railroad overpass that is really creepy---pentagrams and stuff---somepeople have said they heard stuff back there. I and some friends pulled in there one night and there was a white truck, engine on, headlights on, doors open and absolutely no one around. we looked. I think it might have been an abduction :tinfoilhat:)
