School - This is not to tell you about a

then Bates Middle School and it was not just blacks there. I lived in
Annapolis from the time I was born until 1991 when I was 38 years old
and have never heard of anyone thrown from the widows of this school. I
am not saying that there is not something at this school. I do have the
gift, but what is reported on your site is not quite right.

Franklin, and the founder of our country George Washington. It is
unsure to who walks the halls of the tavern, which is currently a
restaurant and bar. But, there have been many many occurrences that
seem to carry on in story. Whether it is the frequent plate flying
across the room, to glasses falling off the bar's wall, as though they
are being knocked off one by one, happenings seem to occur very often.
On one occasion a table filled with empty dinner plates is
unexplainably toppled over. And, on another instance, a restaurant
employee witnessed a man in period clothing staring out onto the
harbor, as though he was waiting for his ship to come in, and then as
fast as the man appeared he disappeared. Shadows move across the rooms,
and lantern mounted on the walls are turned upside down. The witnesses
love to tell their stories, and almost welcome whatever it is that is
there.

Hagerstown - Hager
house - Built in the 1700's, many
families have occupied this house. According to "Legends", a local
television broadcast, sometimes a dark figure appears on the porch, and
voices are heard within the house. The curator once heard footsteps
going up the stairs, but upon investigation, found nothing. Rocking
chairs move mysteriously, and a corncob doll appears in numerous
places. One corner of the basement, according to a psychic, is very
haunted. She feels something, like a very large animal, or someone was
murdered there. Tour guides have seen apparitions of people from that
time era.
Hagerstown - Millers
Church - In the 1930’s, this church was
believed to be used for Satanic rites. Years later, the church burnt
down. One night a young couple went parking at the church. Not long
afterwards, when they were ready to leave, the car would not start. The
guy told his girlfriend to stay in the car and keep the doors locked
while he went to get help. When he came back, she was gone and the
doors were still locked. He looked up, only to find her hanging from
the old oak tree in front of the church. Sometimes at night you can see
a figure hanging from that same tree. Some witnesses even claim that
they have been chased by a phantom hearse near the site of the old
church.

teddy bear. She looks so real that people actually stop to see what is
wrong then she disappears. The story is unclear but it is said that she
was taken into the woods and raped and beaten by an older man. There is
another phenomenon associated with Bottom Road other than the one with
the little girl. There is a certain section of road in which you have
to stop the car. Once you stop the car at this certain section all of a
sudden you feel as if you are going in reverse. The section of road is
a flat surface so there is no reason for this feeling. You don’t move
at all, but yet there is a feeling of moving.

origins, but none have been verified/confirmed.

behind it. Never enter the front gate. It is to dangerous. Witnesses
saw shadows in an old theatre inside the hospital, a women’s dress
hanging at the end of one of the long hallways. When they went back, it
was gone. There are hundreds of rooms and doors. Outside of one of the
buildings on a hill, they saw a rocking chair on a porch (above) still
rocking as if the patients were still there. As with all the other
closed Maryland Hospitals, It's as if all history of the place was
wiped off the map.

buildings nothing too strange had happened. Then on the way out they
decided to go inside one last building. They found a stair case. They
heard sounds of feet shuffling and people talking above us. They
assumed it was other board kids but when they reached the 2nd floor,
they found nobody. The only way down would have been the stairs they
came up. They all decided to leave. As they started to walk away from
the building, one noticed that there was a light on in a window on the
2nd floor. This was incredibly scary as there were no lights on when
they had initially entered, nor is there any power in any of the old
buildings. Note: Rosewood is Government

caught you will be arrested.
