Barnes & Noble to Host Book Signing for Haunted Ellicott City

ELLICOTT CITY, Md. - Sept. 26, 2019 - PRLog -- Barnes & Noble to Host Book Signing for Haunted Ellicott City

Local author Shelley Wygant will be available to sign copies of book

Beginning with its founding in 1772, Ellicott City endured an endless procession of tragic deaths. As a result, this eighteenth-century mill town is packed with restless spirits and unexplained supernatural occurrences. A mysterious artist haunts Castle Angelo and threatens to throw residents into the river below. Many of the temporary occupants of the former Easton and Sons Funeral Home seem to have remained, and the ghost of Annie Van Derlot still inhabits the ruins of the Patapsco Female Institute. In this comprehensive compilation of ghost stories and local legends, Shelley Wygant explores the history and horrors of a village that somehow lives on.
