Haunted Maryland

Vengeful ghosts, sea monsters, and America's most haunted lighthouse figure prominently in this collection of eerie in tales from the Old Line State. From the rugged Appalachian Mountains, to the metropolitan center of Baltimore, to the Atlantic Coast come a variety of stories and legends, including Dorchester County's Suicide Bridge, Fort McHenry's gruesome hanging ghosts, and a sea captain's widow whose sad wailing can still be heard coming from her final resting place in the family graveyard.
