For all of those who requested an Eastern Shore version, today is for you! This trip is perfect for vacationers on their way to Ocean City who are willing to take a few mysterious detours along the way. These ghostly spots are mostly outdoor locations for optimal wandering and photography possibilities. Let’s go on this haunted road trip through Eastern Shore Maryland!

You can find the Google Map of this road trip here. Total driving time is around five hours, so when you add in time for exploring, this would most likely take an entire day.

  1. Witch’s Grave

Tobaccoland.us In Truxtun Park, Annapolis you can find what is known as the witch’s grave. According to legend, a witch was once hanged on a nearby tree and then buried in the cavernous hole pictured here. Rumors say that on Halloween night you can see her roaming the area or dangling from a tree.

  1. Crybaby Bridge

Located in Millington, this is one of several alleged crybaby bridges in Maryland. People who visit at night have claimed to hear the sounds of a baby crying. Check out the above video for more information.

  1. Decoursey Bridge

  1. Pocomoke Forest

  1. Witch’s Tree

  1. Laughing Sal

Push a button to make her bellow the most horrifying laugh to ever invade your ears. What’s even more haunting is that she sometimes starts laughing all by herself. Is Laughing Sal haunted? Or is there a ghost inhabiting the museum, playing with this disturbing doll?

haunted road trip through Eastern Shore Maryland November 01, 2020 Beth Price-Williams What are the most haunted places in Maryland? If you’re a fan of the paranormal, you definitely live in the right place. You’ll find a ton of haunted places in Maryland. Jericho Covered Bridge in Kingsville, for example, is perfect for visiting during the day. At night, however, it’s said to be haunted by the spirits of several teenagers who hanged themselves at that very spot. The Maryland State House in Annapolis, on the other hand, is rife with the paranormal. Don’t be surprised if, during your visit, you see the apparitions of Revolutionary soldiers or of a solitary man, said to be the spirit of a repairman who fell from the building’s roof and was killed. What are the creepiest cemeteries in Maryland? Cemeteries are supposed to be tranquil spots, providing an eternal resting place for its residents. However, some of the creepiest places in Maryland are its haunted cemeteries. Westminster Hall and Burying Ground in Baltimore, for example, has gained fame as the final resting place of Edgar Allan Poe. However, the cemetery’s history is quite sordid, with tales of body snatchers stealing bodies from graves then selling those bodies to universities and medical facilities for research purposes. Some of those souls, whose bodies have been stolen, are said to wander throughout the cemetery to this day. Are there any haunted restaurants or bars in Maryland? Next time you’re in the mood for a meal out, head over to Union Hotel Restaurant in Port Deposit. You’re guaranteed a delicious, hearty meal, and if you’re lucky, you may even experience the paranormal. The restaurant has a charming, rustic vibe with the wait staff wearing Colonial-era costumes. Don’t be too surprised if, during your visit, the tables start moving on their own. You might also hear a clock chime, which isn’t so out of the ordinary, except all of the clocks in the restaurant are broken. Oh, yeah, if you hear footsteps, you might turn around and see – absolutely nothing. Some have even told tales of seeing apparitions as they enjoyed their meal at the haunted Maryland restaurant.
