"Death is the great Teacher, stern, cold, inexorable, irresistible; whom the collected might of the world cannot stay or ward off. The breath, that parting from the lips of King or beggar, scarcely stirs the hushed air, cannot be bought, or brought back for a moment, with the wealth of Empires. What a lesson is this, teaching our frailty and feebleness, and an Infinite Power beyond us! It is a fearful lesson, that never becomes familiar. It walks through the earth in dread mystery, and lays it hands upon all. It is a universal lesson, that is read everywhere and by all men. Its message comes every year and every day. The past years are crowded with its sad and solemn mementoes; and death's finger traces its handwriting upon the walls of every human habitation." --Albert Pike, Morals and Dogma

Laurel, Prince Georges County, MarylandAKA: Oak Hill (different place, but right next door) FKA: DC Childrens' Center; Old Portland Hospital AFKA: Fuller State or Fullerton State (both pseudonyms) BRIEF: The mentally retarded suffered here under DC's stewardship SUMMARY: An asylum for the mentally retarded, Forest Haven Hospital is located in Laurel. For decades, the mentally retarded in the District's custody lived there. A federal judge ruled that it had devolved into total disaster, and, by imposing massive fines, forced DC to close it in 1991. Over 1,100 mentally ill. Hundreds of deaths. Numerous lawsuits. What a damn mess.
Old Portland Rd. (near Rt. 295 (Baltimore-Washington Parkway) and Rt. 198) provides access for the Forest Haven complex as well as the currently-active Oak Hill Juvenile Detention Center. BRIEF: A bad storm, a shipwreck, and at least one ghost. SUMMARY: Capt. James Drew was the captain of the DeBraak, a British naval ship. The ship sank at Cape Henlopen on May 25, 1798 as the result of a severe storm. The "ghost light" was apparently partly to blame. It phantom has been seen off the coast and appears to re-enact the disaster. BRIEF: A faceless sighting scares two girls SUMMARY: The abandoned house is haunted by a ghostly old man. One day two girls were playing in the yard when the ghostly old man dressed in black walked next to the girls. The old man did not have a face. The girls were scared. People have heard strange noises in and around this house. BRIEF: Moved bodies always makes a mess. SUMMARY: Laboring Son Park, located between fifth and sixth street in Frederick, was once a grave yard for Blacks. The city turned the cemetery into a park. But it was eventually discovered that not all the bodies were moved. The city took the playground equipment off the site and promised to place a memorial sign at the site. This sign was only recently installed. BRIEF: Animal disease research facility. SUMMARY: Federal research center for animals.
