IN THIS EPISODE: If you came of age in Baltimore during the 50s and 60s, you probably heard the talk about Druid Ridge Cemetery’s most famous grave marker. Just about everyone knew about “Black Aggie,” the statue of a draped, melancholy and mysterious woman seated at the Agnus family plot in the south-facing side of the cemetery in Pikesville. Word was that her stony eyes turned red at night. Sit on her lap at midnight and you would meet your own end within two weeks. Teens, often fueled by beer and bravado, travelled to Druid Ridge at night to test the rumor. It was terrifying, exhilarating and the stuff of Baltimore urban legends for years. By 1967, she was she had disappeared. We’ll look at the legend of Black Aggie. (Black Aggie) *** The story of Morrow Road is one of Michigan’s oldest and most enduring legends. There are many versions of the legend – but all of them contain two disturbing elements… a missing child, and a ghostly mother desperately looking for him. But the tragedy doesn’t end there – as there have been some harrowing experiences for those who have gone searching for the spectral mother. (The Grieving Ghost of Morrow Road) *** Asylum 49, formerly the Tooele Hospital in Utah, is a place where the lines between the living and the dead blur in terrifying ways. Half abandoned medical facility turned haunted attraction, half functioning retirement home, this schizophrenic building is home to spectral nurses, mischievous child spirits, and a sinister man in black… and not just for Halloween – but all year round. The old hospital’s haunted reputation has even drawn ghost hunters and mediums who claim it hides a portal to another dimension. (Asylum 49 – A Haunted Haunted Attraction) *** A family moves into a new home only to find they aren’t alone. Items began disappearing, then reappearing later. The lights would turn on and off on their own. Typical poltergeist activity – but when they started to do renovations to the home, the paranormal activity escalated… and after some investigation, they found their ghost had a very sad story to tell. (A Lost Soul Searching The Afterlife)
