Why is Baltimore so Haunted?

Baltimore’s haunted past is as dark as its history. The city, once a bustling port filled with pirates and sailors, witnessed countless tragedies. Many of these men never left, their restless spirits still roaming the harbor. After the devastation of the War of 1812, Baltimore struggled to rebuild, leaving behind ghostly remnants of the fallen. But it was yellow fever that truly scarred the city, claiming thousands of lives and filling the streets with sorrow, from the restless dead of war to the spirits of the plague, a city where time stands still in the presence of the spectral. 

Some of Our Favorite Locations

At Baltimore Ghosts, we take you to some of the most haunted and historically rich locations in the city. Here are a few of our favorite hair-raising spots:

• The Horse You Came In On: Operating since 1775, this historic bar is where Edgar Allan Poe is said to have taken his final drink before his mysterious death. Many believe his spirit still lingers.

• Rye Craft: Beneath this seemingly unassuming location lies a basement with a dark and sinister past. Many have entered, but not all have left.
