Haunts

SUMMARY: Eden Mill, dating from 1805, has over 200 years of history captured inside its four stories. It is a remarkable location. The interior --absolutely packed with authentic, original machinery, equipment and literally thousands of gizmos-- is maintained as a living museum by Harford County and is set up with working exhibits and an overwhelming amount of information, including original pictures, very detailed descriptions, and period gear. There's also an entire "nature center" with all sorts of flora and fauna.

SUMMARY: On a path to Sunrise Museum there is a statue of the Virgin Mary which reportedly cries blood on or about Halloween. It is said that she cries due to witnessing a Satanic ritual that defaced her and the area around her. She is on a trail that leads you to the museum from the railroad tracks below.

SUMMARY: This main part of this fort was used during the Civil War. Confederate soldiers were held prisoner here. Prison conditions were horrible, and many men died. The newer part of the fort was in operation from 1918 to 1946.

SUMMARY: Built by Confederate POW labor when Washington was threatened by Confederate General Early's raid, and a prison break was feared. It is the only surviving fortification of three that guarded Camp Hoffman (2), the stockaded POW camp established in 1863. It is a small four-sided earthen fort with four reconstructed buildings, and the remains of a powder magazine. It is located on the Potomac River side of the peninsula. The war ended before construction was complete.

SUMMARY: Bay Oak, the new housing development in Lewes, is at the same location where American Indians massacred members of a then-newly settled Dutch community. The neighborhood appears to be haunted. People have seen orbs floating in the air; streaks of light flash through the sky and inside their homes. Not one, not a few, but over one dozen.
