Aida’s Victoriana Inn
St. Michaels, Maryland · Hotel
The resident ghost in a Haunted Places submission is an unusually conscientious guest. Said to have died upstairs before settling his bill, he reportedly leaves money around the inn, as though still trying to pay what he owes. Historical business name; present operator/access unverified.
Antietam National Battlefield
Sharpsburg, Maryland · Other
Haunted Places collects accounts of soldiers appearing on the battlefield, sometimes mistaken for reenactors until they disappear. Other reported sounds include gunfire, shouted commands, drumming and wartime songs, suggesting to believers that fragments of the 1862 battle still echo across the landscape.
Atlantic Hotel
Berlin, Maryland · Hotel
A contributor to Haunted Places tells of a ghostly girl riding a tricycle along the hotel’s corridors. The same account describes objects changing position without explanation and lights switching on and off in apparently empty spaces. Folklore submission attributed to Callum Swift.
Baltimore Theatre Project
Baltimore, Maryland · Theater
Haunted Places tells of a suited man seen sitting at a piano in the theatre building. The apparition is associated with its earlier dance-hall use, as though a performer from another era has returned to play.
Beall-Dawson House
Rockville, Maryland · Historic house
Haunted Places records an unidentified apparition in the Beall-Dawson House. Suggested identities range from Upton Beall and members of his family to an enslaved household member, leaving the central feature of the story a recurring figure rather than an agreed-upon historical person. Identity of ghost is speculative.
Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge
Cambridge / Church Creek, Maryland · Natural landmark
Haunted Places repeats the Eastern Shore tale of a dangerous mule that terrorized people working in the marshes. Residents supposedly chased the animal into quicksand, but its spirit continued roaming the wetlands. The account attaches this phantom-animal legend to Blackwater. Broad refuge-area legend; no precise encounter point established.
Bladensburg Dueling Grounds
Colmar Manor, Maryland · Natural landmark
Haunted Places recounts sightings of a figure identified with Commodore Stephen Decatur at the dueling ground. Other visitors reportedly see indistinct, shadowlike forms in the area, connecting its later ghost reputation to its history as a place of violent encounters.
Brunswick Heritage Museum
Brunswick, Maryland · Other
A Haunted Places contributor recounts a woman in white appearing at the museum. Other stories give the spirits an interest in the collections: a ghostly curator supposedly rearranges displays, while another presence interferes with the model railway.
Clara Barton National Historic Site
Glen Echo, Maryland · Historic house
Haunted Places records apparitions in Clara Barton’s former home. Local believers identify at least one of the figures as Barton herself, continuing to inhabit the house associated with the final years of her life. Brief apparition tradition; no additional phenomena invented.
Club Charles
Baltimore, Maryland · Other
A Haunted Places contributor describes Frenchie, a ghost seen wearing a waiter’s uniform. Staff and customers reportedly approach the figure only to watch him disappear; the tradition associates him with an apartment above the bar. Alleged wartime espionage biography is uncorroborated and omitted.
Cockey’s Tavern
Westminster, Maryland · Other
A Haunted Places submission describes a soldier who seems to march up the staircase to the second floor. Slamming doors are also attributed to the same restless presence in the historic tavern. Historical building name; current use/access unverified.
Cry Baby Bridge (Walnut Tree Road)
Millington, Maryland · Road or bridge
The Walnut Tree Road legend, recorded by Haunted Places and Maryland Haunted Houses, tells of a baby thrown from the bridge by his mother. His crying supposedly echoes around the crossing, while fallen trees are attributed to the child’s unnaturally powerful spirit. Independently located in Millington, Maryland; Smyrna, Delaware is a recurring geographic misattribution. The story is folklore, not a documented death.
Dr. Samuel A. Mudd House Museum
Waldorf, Maryland · Historic house
Haunted Places links a female apparition to Frankie Mudd. Other reports describe voices, electric window candles that repeatedly switched themselves on during a reenactment, and a human-shaped hollow appearing in the bed in the room associated with John Wilkes Booth’s stay. No claim that a bed impression establishes the identity of a spirit.
Elk Forge Bed and Breakfast
Elk Mills / Elkton, Maryland · Hotel
According to the tale collected by Haunted Places, a miller punished by British soldiers still inhabits the old mill property. Witnesses are said to hear his steps and voice and occasionally glimpse his figure. The legend explains his fate through an attempted sabotage of soldiers’ flour. Miller story is folklore, not established Revolutionary War history.
Fort Frederick State Park
Big Pool, Maryland · Other
A reenactor’s account published by Haunted Places describes an unseen presence in the front-right bastion, sometimes felt as hostile or following people out. Curiously, participants portraying Scottish regiments are said to encounter a friendlier, more inquisitive atmosphere in the same part of the fort. Firsthand-style submission signed Graves; interpretation is not historical verification.
Fort McHenry
Baltimore, Maryland · Other
Haunted Places reports a military apparition identified as Lieutenant Levi Clagett. The figure is said to walk through the fort, with some versions describing it as gliding rather than taking ordinary steps. Brief named-apparition tradition; identification is unverified.
Galway Bay Restaurant
Annapolis, Maryland · Other
According to a Haunted Places submission, a young female apparition appears in the basement and courtyard, where diners sometimes mistake her for an employee. Other reports include heavy footfalls, a woman’s disembodied singing and objects changing position.
Governor Calvert House
Annapolis, Maryland · Hotel
The hotel’s Haunted Places entry describes sightings of a man in old-fashioned clothing, a female apparition and a male presence called Dominic. Guest comments add reports of televisions turning themselves on during overnight stays.
Hampton National Historic Site
Towson, Maryland · Historic house
Haunted Places recounts sightings attributed to Priscilla Ridgely and Cygnet Swann, along with unexplained harpsichord music from Swann’s room. A former butler called Tom is another reported figure. Other stories describe doors unlatching and a chain-like rattling in the tack room. Alias Hampton House. Historical identities and death traditions need stronger sourcing before expansion.
Henry Hotel
Ocean City, Maryland · Hotel
A Haunted Places contributor describes a young man wearing overalls on the porch, heavy footsteps and a woman’s reprimanding voice. Another story concerns jazz heard from the apparently empty building, with no musicians found when listeners look for the source.
Inn BoonsBoro
Boonsboro, Maryland · Hotel
A Haunted Places contributor says the inn’s restoration after a fire did not end its ghost stories. Guests reportedly glimpse a spectral cat in their bedrooms at night or hear the light ringing of a bell without an obvious source.
Jericho Covered Bridge
Kingsville, Maryland · Road or bridge
Haunted Places recounts a woman in period clothing walking across the covered bridge. A separate, contested story describes hanging figures beneath its roof, but the woman’s appearance is the clearest reported encounter associated with the crossing. Source itself disputes the historical basis of hanging/slavery legends; do not present them as documented events.
Jonathan Hager House Museum
Hagerstown, Maryland · Historic house
According to Haunted Places, the Hammond and Downin families figure in the house’s ghost lore. Voices and walking sounds are reported indoors, while the Downin children are blamed for a moving corncob doll, lights going out and cameras behaving erratically.
