The Haunted Record

Maryland

21 sourced records. Reports are attributed claims, not proof of supernatural activity.

Berlin · Maryland

Atlantic Hotel

This Victorian hotel opened in 1895. Staff accounts collected by Mindie Burgoyne describe children heard in the corridors, unexplained shadows and a mischievous presence associated with rooms 16 and 18, forming a continuing hotel haunting tradition.

Easton · Maryland

Avalon Theatre

Mindie Burgoyne interviewed a former owner who said he and an assistant watched a woman leave the elevator and pass through closed theater doors. He later associated her with an old photograph and the name Marguerite. Staff also reported unoccupied elevator trips. The supposed murder behind the apparition remains part of the theater’s reported legend.

Location withheld · Maryland

Boston Family Farmhouse Account

The Boston family sought help after reported activity intensified during a pregnancy. SYFY’s account describes voices, scratches and recurring bedroom figures resembling an old-fashioned couple. Investigators also identified ordinary sources for some shadows and noted electrical equipment in the house. The episode presented reassurance to the family rather than a verified identification of spirits.

Denton · Maryland

Caroline County Jail — Wish Sheppard Reports

Mindie Burgoyne records guards’ and sheriffs’ accounts of a recurring handprint, footsteps and figures associated with Aloysius “Wish” Sheppard, executed in 1915. Her article also notes that witnesses disputed the dramatic tale of his resisting removal from the cell. Later staff reports describe apparently empty elevators moving and figures appearing on security monitors.

Waldorf · Maryland

Dr. Samuel Mudd House

Ghost Hunters investigated reports attributed to Dr. Samuel Mudd, his relatives and John Wilkes Booth at the house where Mudd treated Booth after Lincoln’s assassination. The network recap describes investigators reporting warmth and sensations of touch in a children’s room. These experiences do not establish the identities proposed in the local ghost stories.

Ocean City · Maryland

Henry Hotel

A 1973 folklore interview described music coming from the closed hotel in winter, fading as the witness approached. Author Mindie Burgoyne later collected a separate account of a figure vanishing from its porch. The Henry's history as lodging for Black workers and entertainers is distinct from these reported experiences.

Savage · Maryland

Historic Savage Mill

Maryland tourism describes Savage Mill’s ghost tours as exploring reports associated with the historic mill complex and its present occupants. This is an account of a local haunting tradition at a real industrial site. Check which areas a booked tour actually enters before planning an independent visit.

St. Michaels · Maryland

Kemp House

Part of the Old Brick Inn properties, the Kemp House has stories of male apparitions on its stairs and in the foyer. Housekeepers reportedly heard loud voices; the identification of one presence as Robert E. Lee remains speculation.

Georgetown / Galena · Maryland

Kitty Knight Inn

This waterfront inn is associated with the local tradition that Kitty Knight helped save buildings during the British attack of 1813. History Goes Bump recounts a guest hearing heavy footsteps and what sounded like a nearby party; the guest also considered staff cleaning as an explanation. Ghost Detectives investigated the inn, which has hosted organized overnight paranormal events.

Baltimore · Maryland

Lord Baltimore Hotel

The historic hotel actively presents its haunted reputation through ghost tours and overnight packages. Its operator offers visitors a way to hear the building's stories while staying on site. These programs establish a documented paranormal tourism tradition, but their existence does not verify individual ghost accounts or supernatural causes.

Annapolis · Maryland

Maryland Inn

Employees and guests report figures in period clothing, unexplained sounds and missing objects. The fourth floor and basement taproom feature in accounts of a bride and naval officer. Authors Mike Carter and Julia Dray discuss those identities in Haunted Annapolis; the tragic romance explaining them remains local legend.

Pocomoke City · Maryland

Pocomoke Forest Boardwalk Reports

Guide and author Mindie Burgoyne describes leading a group into the cypress swamp when white points of light appeared among leaves. Later, she reports brush moving beside the group and small objects striking the boardwalk. Her firsthand account also records visitors feeling touched; the observations remain unexplained experiences rather than established supernatural events.

Scotland · Maryland

Point Lookout Lighthouse

Maryland’s Department of Natural Resources recounts unexplained photographs and stories connected with Point Lookout’s lighthouse. The surrounding park has a difficult Civil War prison history. The historical suffering is documented separately from later supernatural interpretations; a photograph described as ghostly is not by itself evidence of a spirit.

Pocomoke City · Maryland

River Gem / Littleton Clarke House

Littleton Clarke’s family suffered several deaths soon after moving into this Victorian house. Author Mindie Burgoyne records a guest’s claimed nighttime encounter and stories that children’s spirits remain in the building, formerly operated as River Gem.

Ocean City · Maryland

Shoreham Hotel

Staff accounts collected by Mindie Burgoyne describe boxes falling in basement storage, cold rushes and electrical disturbances. Seasonal room 6 is another focus of the reports, with appliances switching unpredictably. Stories attach these events to former occupants; the observed claims should be distinguished from those proposed identities.

Baltimore · Maryland

Stallings Family Haunting — Show Me One Soul

Nancy L. Stallings described her family’s reported experiences at their Baltimore home in Show Me One Soul: A True Haunting, published by Noble House in 1996. Accounts associated with the family include unexplained voices, apparitions and household disturbances. The story was later portrayed in A Haunting’s “Echoes from the Grave” and discussed by Morbid. These sources document the family’s account and its media history; they do not independently establish a supernatural cause. This record concerns a private residence, not a visitor attraction.

Northeast Baltimore · Maryland

The Haunting of 21 St. Helens Avenue — Murphy Family

Author and screenwriter Sean Paul Murphy describes reported experiences in his family’s northeast Baltimore home through a series of recollections and interviews titled The Haunting of 21 St. Helens Avenue. Family accounts include voices apparently mimicking familiar people, unexplained footsteps and disturbances around a bed. Baltimore Magazine also interviewed Murphy about the account. The street address in the series title is historical, not a visitor destination. Murphy’s novel Chapel Street draws inspiration from these experiences but is fiction; the firsthand blog accounts and later reporting should be distinguished from that adaptation. These are attributed experiences, not independently established supernatural events.

Easton · Maryland

Tidewater Inn

In interviews collected by writer Mindie Burgoyne, Tidewater Inn staff described elevator journeys without passengers, stops on seemingly unrequested floors and a strong impression of another presence while riding alone. Her article compares these accounts with nearby Easton buildings, but establishes testimony rather than a technical explanation for the elevator behavior.

Baltimore · Maryland

USCG Cutter 37 / Former USCGC Taney

Commissioned in 1936 and retired in 1986, this Coast Guard cutter is preserved in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor. Ghost Hunters investigated reports of male figures, voices, moving lockers and machinery sounds aboard the inactive vessel. Its episode recap describes investigators hearing indistinct voices through a disused public-address system. These are television investigation claims, separate from the ship’s documented wartime service.

Baltimore · Maryland

USS Constellation

Baltimore’s museum ship is the 1854 sloop-of-war, distinct from the earlier frigate of the same name. Hans Holzer and medium Sybil Leek investigated its reported haunting, later revisited by The Holzer Files. A Darkness Radio episode interviews Vince Wilson and Jim Jones about their experiences and the investigation. Some paranormal descriptions confuse the vessel’s age; the museum documents its actual history.

Princess Anne · Maryland

Washington Inn and Tavern

Former owner Mrs. Murphy described female spirits around the foyer and stairs. Subsequent staff also reported footsteps and stairway disturbances, according to author Mindie Burgoyne; the familiar claim that George Washington stayed there lacks proof.
