Beware the Watcher in the Tower

This is the old Pentecostal Church, down by the Patapsco River, across from the Daniels Mill in old Alberton, Maryland. It is most often called The Bad Church. Some have reported sensing a "watchful presence" in the bell tower.

Numerous witnesses have reported being almost literally in the middle of a battle, reliving it.

A nurse "hid a Union soldier in the wall of the basement"

This old house is located on the riverfront in Hopewell. Changing control, so to speak, it was used during the Civil War (the assault on Petersburg) as a hold-out for Confederate and sometimes Union soldiers.

Death and drowning...

The Loy's Station covered bridge was built around 1860 by the Loy family. The family owned the feed mill and post office at Loy's Station, which was a small community with a railroad station. The original bridge was modified in 1929. New steel beams were installed to replace the original wooden beams and the lateral bracing under the wooden floor. The bridge was destroyed by arson in 1991. Volunteers restored the bridge using timbers salvaged from the old bridge. During the Civil War the Union and Confederate Armies marched through Frederick and Thurmont on their way to Gettysburg and Antietam. Many small skirmishes took place around Frederick and Thurmont. The soldiers often camped near covered bridges for protective cover and usually water for their horses. The covered bridges are reportedly haunted by the soldiers who died there and by people that drowned in the water below. The bridge is located on Old Frederick Road, in Creagerstown.
