"No man, for any considerable period, can wear one face to himself and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which one is true." --Nathaniel Hawthorne
4 years, 2 months, 13 days, 8 hours, 10 minutes, 57 seconds until the Mayan end of Age. December 21 2012 (11:11am GMT). The Mesoamerican Long Count calendar, notably used by the Maya civilization among others of pre-Columbian Mesoamerica, completes its thirteenth b'ak'tun cycle since the calendar's mythical starting point (equivalent to 3114 BC August 11 in the proleptic Gregorian calendar, according to the "GMT-correlation" JDN = 584283). The Long Count b'ak'tun date of this starting point (13.0.0.0.0) is repeated, for the first time in a span of approximately 5,125 solar years. The significance of this period-ending to the pre-Columbian Maya themselves is unclear, and there is an incomplete inscription (Tortuguero Stela 6) that records this date. It is also to be found carved on the walls of the Temple of Inscriptions in Palenque, where it functions as a base date from which other dates are computed. However, it is conjectured that this may represent in the Maya belief system a transition from the current Creation world into the next. The 2012 Winter Solstice will also occur on this day at 11:11 UTC. --wikipedia . See also "When you get old, the only things you remember are the things you dared to do and the things you didn't dare to do. All the daily stuff, the things you had to do, the things someone paid you to do, blur into the nothingness of 'unimportant to your soul', and when you look back on your life you only see the dreams you made happen and the dreams you were afraid to pursue." --P.J. Gaenir's grandfather

"We foster an environment of constructive peer review, the philosophy being the more active members out there thinking, observing and collecting evidence, the more likely someone is to produce something substantial and the more we all collectively learn. Another way to look at it: Every family has an eccentric member or two; we're the place where all those folks can collectively hang out and feel at home."
BRIEF: Long involved with Maryland history. SUMMARY: The house was built by Charles Carroll in 1754. It's a large Georgian style mansion house, and it was build in five sections. The Mount Clare Mansion sat in the center of his 800 acre Patapsco River plantation. BRIEF: Was John McCullough victim of murderous bullet or insanity? SUMMARY: Famed actor John McCullough was either shot dead (and murderously buried underneath the theatre), or he died in an insane asylum. A body apparently remain, un-exhumed, under the now cemented lowest levels of the theatre, but is it John's?
A rusty old gun was uncovered during recent renovations, igniting dispute and imagination all over again. Like the mysteries that surround Edgar Allan Poe's death (and final resting place), this case has all the seeming of a conundrum that is confounding meaning.
Meanwhile, it's tough to overstate the historical and ongoing importance of The National Theatre. BRIEF: A large creature near Arundel Mills mall, reported by several witnesses SUMMARY: Three construction workers were sent running from the Arundel Mills mall construction site one morning when they were frightened by a large creature. They ran after they saw a reportedly a 12-foot-tall creature. This creature left large footprints. The workers ran to a nearby restaurant where they called the police. BRIEF: Long history, much haunting. SUMMARY: A male ghost soldier, dressed in Civil War attire guards the steps to the lighthouse.
Photographed pictures have recorded him leaning against the frame at the door.
The land was used as a union hospital and POW camp during the civil war.
Several ghosts of soldiers have been seen here.
Many people have seen the ghost of a sailor, who was perhaps lost at sea nearby. BRIEF: Wiles here allowed Jefferson's escape. SUMMARY: A flavorful, patriotic history and two ghost in the pink room, aka "ghost central." BRIEF: Premonition apparition appears a few days before a fire SUMMARY: An apparition of a badly burnt man appeared to a Colonial Williamsburg employee while he was working in the printing office. A few days later there was a fire in the printing shop and the employee escaped without injury. BRIEF: Ghostly dog appendages. SUMMARY: You wouldn't think it, but a ghostly dog is haunting The Grey Fox Inn. BRIEF: A girl's hanging caused this school's right wing to be closed SUMMARY: The haunting spirit of a young girl who hung herself in a bathroom some years ago reportedly caused the entire right wing of this school to be closed off. BRIEF: "I now understand the meaning of being scared stiff." SUMMARY: From the distant woods, a ghostly light approached this couple and scared them plain away. BRIEF: Jump! SUMMARY: This mansion is haunted by a ghostly woman. The sound of a woman's "death cry" is heard in this old mansion. The ghost is reportedly that of a young slave girl who jumped to her death from the attic window to escape her master. The young girl is known as Tom's Daughter. She jumped from the window to escape sexual advances from her master. Her erie screams are still heard today. BRIEF: Soldiers stick around SUMMARY: This building, used during the Civil War, is where the soldiers came to collect their pension. The old building is thought to be haunted by ghostly soldiers. Soldiers have been seen arriving "mounted, on horseback" to the building. The building's designer, Montgomery Meigs, also haunts the building. His face has been seen at the top of the marble columns in the building's great hall. BRIEF: The ghost of Queen Lili'uokalani haunts Hawaii's State Capitol Building SUMMARY: Built during the reign of King Kamehameha V (completed in 1882) it replaced a former one-story bulding constructed of coral block. It served as the official residence of the Hawaiian monarch until it was overthrown in 1893. At that time the building became the statehouse of the new Provisional Government of Hawaii. The building is said to be haunted by the spirit of Queen Lili'uokalani the last monarch of the Kingdom of Hawaii. SUMMARY: http://www.whatwasthen.com/driskill.html
