In a city known for its mysterious nature, the LaLaurie house perhaps stands head and shoulders above other haunted attractions in the area, and not just because until recently it was owned by Nicolas Cage.

Mt. Ida in Ellicott City, which serves as the visitor center for the Patapsco Female Institute, was originally the home of William Ellicott, grandson of Andrew Ellicott, one of the founders of the town. William barely had time to enjoy his new home, however, as he died in 1838, just 43 years old. The home then passed to the family of Judge John Shoemaker Tyson with his wife Rachel (Snowden) and their four children: Cornelia, John Snowden, Anne and Ida. Judge Tyson died in 1864, leaving the home to Rachel and the children. The 1890's saw the passing of Rachel, John Snowden, Cornelia and Ann, leaving only Ida behind.

The LeGore Bridge, spanning the Monocacy River is an unexpected sight along the quiet back roads of Frederick County. Its sheer size is rather daunting and over the years it has gained a bit of a reputation as a place to avoid late at night. Though many of the stories are no doubt due to its history as a party hangout, the bridge also has a more sinister history.

Over the years, this upscale restaurant at 217 South Street in Morristown, New Jersey has had its fair share of strange happenings and the property has changed hands many times. Most recently, it has been Jimmy's Haunt, a very appropriate name.

Deer Park Tavern

Sun, 13 Dec 2009 15:10:00

The historic inn located on Main Street in Newark has had an interesting history, so maybe it;s not surprising that folks hear odd noises in the place. And the front door ssems to have a mind of its own, opening by itself now and then. The spot now occupied by the Deer Park Tavern was once the location of St. Patrick's Inn which burned to the ground but prior to that nasty event, it had been a popular gathering spot. In 1843, Edgar Allan Poe visited the inn whie he was in town for a lecture and stumbled out of his carriage. Apparently, he was so upset that he placed a curse on the place. It must have worked as it was soon after that the Inn was destroyed by fire.
