8 Creepy Photos of Hell House St. Mary's College

1/1/2017

10 Comments

 
​Hell House in Ilchester Road, Ellicott City, Maryland is the stuff of urban legend. Once a Roman Catholic school called St. Mary's College, it was built in the late-1890s and was in operation until the 1970s. It was abandoned since, flagrantly vandalized, and set afire by arsonists in 1997. What remained of the old building was demolished in 2006. Because of its isolation up on a hill accessible through a long stairway, the narrow trails that wound around the premises, and the decaying altar deep in the woods, the College soon became known as Hell House to the locals with stories of Satanists and ghostly apparitions. Up to this day, it receives many hikers, the occasional curious visitors, and urban legend hunters. Word of caution: Try not to get lost in the woods.

Old Ellicott City After The Storm

11/25/2016

​Old Ellicott City, endearingly to locals, is a historic town 30-minutes west of Baltimore and an hour north of the nation's capital, Washington D.C. Ever since moving to the US from the Philippines, Ellicott City was my adoptive hometown so much so that after working in New Mexico close to a year and an option to work anywhere in the country, I decided to get back to Maryland. Albeit I live in the same county, Howard, in a town rated number one best place to live in the United States, Ellicott City will always have a place in my heart as the birthing ground of the American Dream. I, alongside many, were in shock that fateful July 30, 2016 when the Ellicott City flood happened.

A Scottish Beach in Maryland?

8/1/2016

​So it was one of those midweek road trips and the pick was a beach getaway in a state park called Point Lookout in Scotland, Maryland. This European country namesake is located in the southernmost part of The Old Line State and west of the Chesapeake Bay. Its state park offers picnickers and beachgoers a more bucolic setting, one that other famous MD beaches Sandy Point and Ocean City are unable to provide.

Chesapeake Bay Bridge, The Scariest Bridge in the US

6/19/2016

0 Comments

 
A news channel once reported that the Chesapeake Bay Bridge in Maryland is the scariest bridge in the US that some drivers would hire someone else to drive them from point A to B. It is almost 23,000 feet in length, different width for its east- and west-bound lanes (28 and 38 feet respectively), and clearance of about 190 feet. No wonder it scares the bejesus out of anyone.
