Haunted Ellicott City
In this comprehensive compilation of ghost stories and local legends, Shelley Wygant explores the history and horrors of a village that somehow lives on.
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.

I enjoyed this book, very much, it was well organized and well written. I'm from Howard County and familiar with many of the locations described but the book made me want to find out more about many of them. I'm sure the book will entice more people to visit Ellicott City and perhaps take a ghost tour or just enjoy the atmosphere and shops.
