Haunted Fells Point: Ghosts of Baltimore's Waterfront

by Mike Carter

The narrow streets and ancient pubs of historic Fells Point are filled with the spirits of the past. Pirates, privateers, sailors, smugglers and a host of others refused to let death change their address. Walk with Edward Fell in the town he founded in 1760 or flirt with the "ladies" at the Cat's Eye Pub. Climb the stairs at Bertha's Mussels to visit the little girl with no face or let a long-dead nurse take your temperature at the Admiral Fell Inn. Ghost historians and authors Mike Carter and Julia Dray introduce the spiritual residents of Baltimore's iconic waterfront neighborhood.

Fun to read, then visit Fells Point and have a drink at one of the haunted bars. Great book, and fun to read about historic, haunted fells point, md.

As a former resident and often-visitor, I thought this book was a lot of fun! It's a quick and easy read but some of the info is out of date, like businesses and owners that have changed. Careful editing would have helped that. I appreciate that the authors correct the neighborhood legend of Edgar Allan Poe's death. Also, this book screams for many more maps and (professional) photographs!

As a Fells Point resident, figured I'd check this out. A ton of good Fells Point history here, definitely a lot more than ghost stories. Personally, I'm more interested in the history, so this was a perfect balance for me, but if you're more into the supernatural, it may be lacking to you.

Good history. As of 2024 several places have closed but the ghost stories are good. Perhaps the ghosts will stay around.
