Both your friend and your enemy think you will never die.
4 years, 2 months, 13 days, 8 hours, 18 minutes, 52 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: The sounds of iron being hammered SUMMARY: The tavern is haunted by a ghostly man who has been seen on the front porch and on the outdoor patio. He has long black hair. BRIEF: The Historic Hilltop House Hotel in Harpers Ferry includes some unusual guests SUMMARY: Built in 1888 by African American proprietor Thomas S. Lovett, the hotel, built on a hilltop provides a splendid view of Harpers Ferry, WV and the Potomac river.

Lots 1 and 2 of the original town plat were set aside by the trustees in 1777 for a German church and two other houses. There is no indication that any structures were built. It was variously known as the Dutch, German or Lutheran Cemetery. The body of Doctor Samuel Crawford, victim of a postwar lynching in 1876, was buried there. In 1888, two men reported seeing the ghost of Crawford standing over his grave in the old Dutch graveyard. There was a move in 1917 to move the few bodies interred here to Greenway Cemetery so the land could be available for development. No action was taken. Gravestones have been restored in recent years. BRIEF: In places of gathering and importance, energy can long linger SUMMARY: Students and staff have reported a presence, strange noises and dark shadows.

BRIEF: Haunted by the ghost of a baby girl named Gloria SUMMARY: The building once housed Maureen's New International Cuisine. It is now an Italian restaurant said to be haunted by the ghost of a baby girl called Gloria. It's said she perished in her crib; disputed is whether it was murder and by whom. BRIEF: Evil demeanor gets you no nowhere but in the history books. SUMMARY: The area called Furnace Hill in Carroll County is now a housing development, but Leigh Master's home was located on this land long ago.
Leigh Master operated a smelting business during the 18th century, which is why the development is called Furnace Hill. The furnace that Leigh Master used for smelting is still there and people say that it is haunted.
