GET YOUR SPOOK ON! ~ ELLICOTT CITY GHOST WALKS ~
Historic Ellicott City is not only known to have a haunted history but also has a reputation of being the most haunted city in the State of Maryland! Why, we can only speculate but it may be due to its past as a mill town or the fact that it was built on granite. Perhaps it is because ghosts are said to be attached to antiques - Ellicott City has plenty of antique stores along and around Mainstreet. To satisfy people's curiosity the Howard County Department of Tourism offers 3 Ellicott City Ghost Tours YE HAUNTED HISTORY OF OLDE ELLICOTT CITY . Local guides are dressed in period clothing and retell the stories shared by Ellicott City's residents, retailers and restaurateurs.
The Ghost Tours run from April - November but are obviously most popular in October - so please make reservations or you may not get to go! Tickets can be purchased at the Visitor Information Center: 8267 Main Street in the historic district and are $13 Adults and $11 for children 6 - 12, Seniors (65+) and Active Duty Military.

My husband was born on Halloween - yes, occasionally things do get creepy at my house! ;-) On his birthday last year I surprised him with an Ellicott City Ghost Tour to enjoy with his friends. Did he possibly see one of the Union Soldiers vanish into the night or hear unexplained noises or even feel his pants tucked on? I'll keep that a secret ... you'll just have to go and see for yourself!
