Old Western Graveyard, Baltimore, USA
Another darkly atmospheric cemetery, with catacombs, home to many illustrious residents including Edgar Allan Poe and more than a dozen generals from the War of 1812 and the Revolutionary War amongst others. The majority of ghostly tales from here revolve around the catacombs which are situated under Westminster Hall, which is also believed to be haunted. Most tell the story of people being buried alive and still trying to get help. However, the most intriguing ghost of the Old Western graveyard is that of Edgar Allan Poe who has been seen many times especially around January 19th – his birthday. He is said to be completely in black, with matching fedora hat and black scarf to cover his features. He also carries a walking cane with a silver cat’s head on top. There are numerous reports of people talking to him and catching glimpses of his dark figure. There is also a story about a skull buried here, simply known as the Screaming Skull of Cambridge, which is said to have belonged to a murdered minister. If you hear it’s screams, legend has it you will go insane. Proceed at your own risk...
