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. Former Board Member, Shelley Wygant Davies will give a presentation on some of the spookiest history stories in Ellicott City. She will have copies of her new book, Haunted Howard County, for sale just in time for Halloween!
