Does Maryland have any ghost towns?

Now that you've learned about some of the most haunting abandoned places in Maryland, you might be curious about entire towns that have been abandoned. Well, there are a few such ghost towns in Maryland that you can visit today...if you dare!

Perhaps the most famous of Maryland's abandoned ghost towns is known as St. Mary's College.

  • While not technically a town, this destination was once a thriving seminary for young men training to become priests.
  • The seminary opened in 1862 and closed in 1972.
  • Visit the area that once housed this landmark and you'll find only ruins.
  • Moreover, these ruins are said to be haunted. Unsuspecting visitors who have explored the abandoned area have heard the sound of disembodied footsteps going up and down the staircase leading to nowhere.
  • There have also been reports of unexplainable "cold spots" throughout the woods where the ruins are located. Yikes! You can learn more about the abandoned ghost town of St. Mary's College in Maryland.
