The Story Behind This Historic House In Maryland Will Give You Goosebumps

Where are some of the most haunted places in Maryland?  

The most haunted places in Maryland are:

• Jericho Covered Bridge
• Haunted Paw Paw Tunnel
• Point Lookout State Park

Maryland is home to plenty of beauty and fascinating history, but it’s also home to something else – something only certain kinds of folks (folks like us, if we’re being honest here) find intriguing: haunted places, and places with dark, terrifying histories. Some places tend to stick out above others in terms of just “how” haunted they are, but there’s a formidable list, nonetheless. Among the places considered to be the most haunted places in Maryland are places like the eerie and beautiful Point Lookout Lighthouse, in Scotland, Maryland, which has been host to many a dark day and disaster. They say that, should you encounter one of the lighthouse’s spirits, it’s most likely to be that of a man in old, Civil-War-era clothes who appears to be in bad shape. In Glenn Dale, there’s the notorious Glenn Dale Hospital, which originally opened in the 1930s and used less than wonderful treatment techniques (as many medical establishments did at that time). One can only imagine that the suffering that went on here contributed to its being haunted later on; one thing is for sure: this place gives us the creepy. If you’re feeling brave, you might want to try doing this epic haunted road trip to some of the creepiest places in the state.  

Are there any local ghost stories in Maryland?  

The most famous ghost stories in Maryland are:

• The Legend Of Sotterley Plantation
• Stories of Ellicott City
• Sunken Road At Antietam

Of course! Every place has its legends, and Maryland is no different. For example, local legend has it that in Bowie, Maryland, the road known as Fletchertown Road is home to all sorts of creepy goings-on. You see, supposedly, around there, sightings of the Goat Man run rampant after dark. It’s whispered that he has a body count, as he once roamed the road murdering passers-by with a hatchet. We’ve never seen him ourselves, but we’re also not about to wait around and see if he shows up. He’s half-man, half-goat, and all horrifying. The Goat Man is Maryland’s most-loved (and probably most infamous) ghost story.
