For those looking to go back in time to one of the bloodiest battles in American history and walk through a haunted battlefield, look no further than the Antietam Battlefield in Md. The Confederate and Union sol- diers, who died on Sept. 17, 1862, haunt this battlefield. Though there are many different areas on this battlefield to visit, some say the spookiest and most haunted area is Bloody Lane, which is said to be the place where over 5,000 Confederate and Union soldiers died. A few other spots to visit are the Pry House and the Piper House. St. Paul Episcopal Church is another haunted location that served as a hospital for the Confederate soldiers during the war. The men who died in this hospital still haunt it today. The Surratt House Photo by Morbid Tales

When the hospital was opened in 1888, it was known as the Asylum and Training School for the Feeble Minded. The hospital was famous for being overpopulated with patients and not having enough staff members to care for everyone. The hospital even had a burial site for the patients who lost their lives during various flu epidemics. It is said that there are several ghosts who still haunt the ground. The asylum is located adjacent to Stevenson University’s Owings Mills campus, but it is a “No Trespass- ing” site. The buildings are boarded up, and several fires have destroyed
