Far beyond spooky

"The exploration of space will go ahead whether we join in it or not, and it is one of the great adventures of all time... we set sail on this new sea because there is new knowledge to be gained... But why, some say, the moon? Why choose this as our goal? And they may well ask, why climb the highest mountain?... We choose to go to the moon! We choose to go to the moon in this decade, and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard. Because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills. Because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win" - John F. Kennedy

"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

Haunts @ hauntsdb.com

King Farm

BRIEF: Buried treasure and ghost slaves.

SUMMARY: Ghost slaves roam the grounds, protecting buried treasure and the lands of this plantation.

Saint Andrews Road Church

BRIEF: Organ music, flickering lights, but it's long abandoned

SUMMARY: This church is thought to be haunted. The church now stands empty, but the sounds of organ music reportedly can still sometimes be heard coming from its long-empty depths. Lights turn on in the church and flicker, though there is no electricity in the building. People have reported seeing ghostly apparitions in and around the church.

Bowling Brook Country Inn

BRIEF: A nice place in the country that happens to be haunted.

SUMMARY: Bowling Brook Inn was built in 1837 by Colonel Tom Hook. He was a veteran of the Revolutionary War. The house was later purchased in 1878 by Robert Wyndham Walden. Walden was a prosperous horse trainer. Walden trained five successive Preakness winners. The Inn sits on 225 acres and is located at 6000 Middleburg Road in Middleburg, between Gettysburg and Westminster.

Atlantic County Courthouse

BRIEF: Old courthouse remains home to many ghosts

SUMMARY: This 1887-era courthouse building in Mays Landing is haunted by numerous ghostly presences. These include the ghostly woman who is seen sobbing and a young ghostly child. The lights turn themselves on, and the sounds of jangling keys can be heard in the hallway.

Spring Grove Hospital

BRIEF: Patient beware.

SUMMARY: This institution was founded in 1797, making it the second oldest insane asylum in the Nation.

Barbara Fritchie House

BRIEF: Heroine of John Greenleaf Whittier's poem from the Civil War. "Shoot if you must, this old gray head, but spare your country's flag"

SUMMARY: The house is haunted by the spirit of Barbara Fritchie.

Crybaby Bridge (Governor's Bridge)

BRIEF: Cross this bridge slowly.

SUMMARY: Back in the early 1970's a young girl had a wild streak. Her name was Sally, and if you haven't heard of her you've probably heard of the bridge named for her tragedy. Sally's father was a preacher who kept tight watch over her. The girl, of course, broke from her father's rules. She drank, smoked and ran with the boys. She fell in love with one very wild boy. The young girl became pregnant, but she was too afraid to tell her Dad. The bridge is located on the line between Anne Arundel and Prince George counties. Many years ago, a young unmarried teenaged girl became pregnant and had a baby. She was very afraid to tell her parents. The young girl took the baby and dropped it over the side of the Governor's Bridge. Shocked and overcome at what she had done, the girl then jumped off the bridge and was killed.

Randolph Macon College

BRIEF: At least two ghosts haunts these halls.

SUMMARY: The college was chartered 1830. It opened 1832 in Boydton, Virginia and it moved in 1868. The college was named after John Randolph and Nathaniel Macon. The school was originally for men and it became coeducational in 1971. The college is known to be haunted. The Mary Branch girl's dormitory (of course!) has had many paranormal occurrences. The doors open and close by themselves. Students have had problems with items disappearing and reappearing.

Fort Necessity National Battlefield

BRIEF: Reports have included phantom musket fire and the "scalp-haloo" of Indians at night in the area where George Washington's first defeat took place in 1754.

SUMMARY: Reports have included phantom musket fire and the "scalp-haloo" of Indians at night in the area where George Washington's first defeat took place in 1754.

Gunpowder State Park

Not Sure, Harford County, Maryland
Part of: Gunpowder State Park
AKA: Laural Bush Road, Guyton Road park area

BRIEF: Old lady in 30's/40's style day dress walking small white dog disappears

SUMMARY: Along a small less-used segmented area of Gunpowder Falls State Park in Harford county, I have observed a strange occurrence 3 times in the past year or so. Along Laurel Bush road and Guyton road I have observed an old woman in a nice clean day dress and a big floppy bonnet like/gardening hat (1930's/40's style) walking a small clean white terrier dog. As I pass her she turns her back and looks down and picks her dog up always keeping her back to me passing in my truck. As I make the sharp curve to the left and turn around she is completely gone.

Rockville Cemetery

Rockville, Montgomery County, Maryland
AKA: Rockville Protestant Episcopal Cemetery, Rockvlle Union Cemetery

Army Medical Museum and Library

BRIEF: Successor to Ford's Theatre

SUMMARY: This structure was the successor to the Ford's Theatre facility. Opened in 1887, it was designed and built by John Shaw Billings to house the Army Medical Museum, the Library of the Surgeon General's Office, and some of the medical records. Between 1893 and 1910, it also housed the Army Medical School.

Todd's Inheritance

Dundalk (Edgemere), Baltimore County, Maryland
AKA: Todd's Farm, Todd House

BRIEF: Multigenerational Home of Todd family, involved in War of 1812.

SUMMARY: Todd's House is known as Todd's Inheritance. Thomas Todd settled there in 1664 with his wife and children from Gloucester County, Virginia. "There" was located between the tip of Edgemere's Miller's Island and the peninsula where Fort Howard sits. For over three centuries the descendants of the Todd family have lived in the home. That's as much prolonged, concentrated history as anyone in this country, except for of course the Indians.

Greens at Dover

BRIEF: Long past winter, but still enjoying the greens

SUMMARY: This golf course is haunted by the spirit of an angry Judge. He has been seen walking among the nearby tombstones and on the Green.

Sourlands Rental Shack

BRIEF: Moving objects and an unsurpressable evil feeling abound in this shanty-turned residence.

SUMMARY: In relating the most terrifying incident of several encounters in these mysterious, desolate hills just beyond Neshanic Station, D.S. Gibson contends that a place can be 'bad': "Yes, definitely."

Korean War Veterans Memorial

BRIEF: A squad of stainless steel figures, slightly larger than human scale

SUMMARY: Representing a squad on patrol, the 19 stainless steel soldiers are slightly larger scale, about 1.2 times the size of an average human: 15 Army, 2 Marines, 1 Navy Medic and 1 Air Force Observer, armed, dressed in full gear and rain ponchos. Some appear very unhappy. One is definitely worried. Another looks bored. All are intense and impressive. They are placed in a 150-foot triangular formation with granite slabs, mulch and juniper bush terrain underfoot. Of note is the conspicuous sparseness of armament and gear; it's not just cloaked as even the rifles are dated. The aura is that, rather than being of advanced technology and weaponry, this was a war of superhuman effort. Exaggerated physical size lends to this.

Lake Linganore

BRIEF: Numerous drownings in this lake have resulted in at least one haunting.

SUMMARY: The lake is known to be haunted. People have reported seeing balls of light. People report that they have heard strange and eerie noises in the woods. The noises are often heard just inside the treeline along the water edge. People claim that you can still see bubbles rising to the surface of the water.

Black Rock Mill

Darnestown-Germantown, Montgomery County, Maryland
Part of: Seneca Creek State Park

BRIEF: A steep hill; a bad accident.

SUMMARY: Black Rock Mill is reportedly haunted by two teenage ghosts who were killed when their car went out of control on the narrow and winding road that drops as it approaches the Black Rock Mill. Their ghostly apparitions and overturned car lights have been seen on dark nights. If you honk your horn a few times the spirits are seen rising from the stream and then knock on your car door. A pair of bright headlights have been seen coming down the narrow road and then disappear.

Pemberton Manor

BRIEF: "One worth checking"

SUMMARY: Details unknown

Granitville Cemetery

BRIEF: Sightings of a "witch ghost" in the cemetery; puts flowers on childrens' graves.

SUMMARY: Sightings have been reported of a "witch ghost" who, late at night, glides through the cemetery putting flowers on childrens' graves.

Starner's Dam

BRIEF: Several murders, unhappy energies.

SUMMARY: The Starner Dam is reportedly haunted. People drowned in the river at its location before the dam was built. People have committed suicide there, and people have dumped murdered bodies here. One murder victim's body was found as recently as 18 February 1993. His body was in the snow-covered fishing area near Starner's Dam. The autopsy revealed that he had been shot twice in the head by a gun that was fired while held against his head. The police discovered that his wife had him murdered by her lover.
