Synopsis Haunted Howard County, Maryland by : Shelley Davies Wygant
The rolling countryside of Howard County is dotted with dozens of two-hundred-year-old log cabins, humble homes and magnificent manor houses--many teeming with restless spirits. From the specter of the madman murderer at Belmont Manor to the spirits of mangled workers at Savage Mill, the dead return to tell their tales. Delve into the stories behind the "Blue Lady" of Salopha, the lovelorn poltergeist at the Grayhouse, the shocking secret of the Mead House and the gruesome origins of the tormented spirit at La Petite Academy. Packed with recently uncovered facts, nearly forgotten local lore and chilling eyewitness accounts, every chapter overflows with riveting stories of Howard County's haunted history. Author Shelley Davies Wygant uncovers spooky tales that have never been told before.

Synopsis Haunted Ellicott City by : Shelley Davies Wygant
In this comprehensive compilation of ghost stories and local legends, Shelley Wygant explores the history and horrors of a village that somehow lives on. Beginning with its founding in 1772, Ellicott City endured an endless procession of tragic deaths. As a result, this eighteenth-century mill town is packed with restless spirits and unexplained supernatural occurrences. A mysterious artist haunts Castle Angelo and threatens to throw residents into the river below. Many of the temporary occupants of the former Easton and Sons Funeral Home seem to have remained, and the ghost of Annie Van Derlot still inhabits the ruins of the Patapsco Female Institute.

Synopsis Ghosts & Haunted Houses of Maryland by : Trish Gallagher
Whether or not you believe in ghosts, this little book-twenty-five tales of the supernatural-will entertain, amuse, and (just maybe) raise a few goosebumps. The author has traveled the entire state of Maryland collecting ghost stories; pored over old papers for clues in local county libraries; and interviewed many of the people whose recollections are recounted here. There seem to be no particular do's or don'ts for ghostly apparitions: houses are haunted, but so is a college campus, and, in one strange instance, a piece of furniture. People have had encounters with spirits, but so have dogs and cats on several occasions, and one unnerving apparition apparently felt it her duty to babysit, to the seeming delight of the child involved. The author, who grew up in Massachusetts, has lived in Maryland for eight years, is "wild" about her adopted state, and resides with her husband Dan and stepson Brendan in Sykesville. Book jacket.
