Ghosthunting Maryland

Explore the Scariest Spots in Maryland

Maryland, with its role in the War of 1812 and the Civil War, is a ghosthunter's dream. This handy guide divides the state into six regions and profiles the best destinations in each. The USS Constellation boasts three ghosts, including a sailor executed for dereliction of duty; the Gridiron Club is haunted by an old woman kidnapped and murdered by her slaves; and Ellicott City is considered the most haunted town in America, with an embarrassment of spooks to choose from. These are just a few of the exciting places profiled in this unusual guidebook, written by the father-and-son team of Michael J. Varhola and Michael H. Varhola.
