Hell House
This facility was once home to a college for girls. The nuns, however, began dabbling in Satanism and one by one, the girls were murdered. Inside the building, chilling screams are heard. At the top of the large staircase, there is an enormous cold spot.

Well, I dont know about the caretaker, ive heard and even had one of my friends land in a pile of german shepperd s*it. I’ve been there a million times. I’ve been to the pool house too, its like a half a mile away from the school and through some woods. Oh my god, my first (AND ONLY) time at the pool house was something i’ll never forget. It was around 9 still light out like 2 years ago…it was just starting to get dark and we were all over that place, i get paranoid when we looked at the black water in the pool thinking so many different things. I look over to the pool house to my right, i swear i saw something there, a little black object against the dirty white wall…told my friends and it was gone, they also have a water tower up there ALL THE WAY in the woods me and my friends heard people running around us…and i will never go by the black cross again!

I was in a car accident on 7 hills near the hell house and will never return there again. they have since torn down the college && that would be the only real reason to go up there. i went one night with 3 friends and met up with some people we did not know…. while walking up to the college we heard a little girl screams from the stream below, there was no way any of us could have done this because we were all together in a tite nit group. and we have also been to the womans asylum there && have heard cars behind us when we turned there were no cars there. so that is all i have to share at this time….. until the next time i have a “spook”. happy hunting

Ok; first of all…Right next to “Hell House” it says located in howard county. NOT ST. MARYS! I am sure there is one there as well considering hell house is a pretty easy name to come up with for a spooky house…but this Hell House is in Howard COunty, not to mention, it’s definately not haunted. There is a guy that would sit outside. He himself had a dog. And he also carried a shot gun around. Before you ever found a ghost, you would find an old man shooting at you, if he’s even close enough for you to see behind all the bricks and trees. I rather deal with real ghosts and get the sh*t scared out of me that run from a real life person with a gun. Count me out.

It was a religious boy’s school. It’s just a big pile of bricks now. If you do go, please don’t leave any more trash. There are too many beer cans there already. There is no parking on the Howard County side of the river but there is legal parking just over the Patapsco River bridge on the Baltimore County side. It is a very short walk back to the long steps. Since it is private property with No Trespassing signs, does anyone know if the police actually arrest you or do they just chase you away?

I went to Hell House with a few friends back in the late 80’s, we weren’t there long enough to find any spooks before the caretaker(hillbilly) and his friend and dogs found us. We all hauled *** out of there and went down the hill to our cars under the train bridge, he came down the drive way in his truck and he chased us into Baltimore county and cut us off at Rt 144, we had two cars, my friends in one and just me in the other, my friends managed to get around his truck and out onto 144 which is a pretty well traveled road. Another car with some kids our age(17-19) got between me and my friends and they had no idea what was going on. The hillbilly caretaker had a tire iron or something and was walking toward them down the road, the driver of the other car had his window open and was asking the guy what the problem was, the hillbilly was just yelling “I’m gonna kill you”, of course the guy flipped out as the hillbilly got closer and slammed his car in reverse and backed right into me crushing my fender. Needless to say neither him or I ever got out to discuss it, we both hauled *** the opposite direction. I backed my car around a curve and over on the shoulder to keep out of direct site of oncoming traffic, when the hillbilly came around the corner I punched it and blew by him. I made it out to Rt144 and found my friends waiting for me. I’ve never been back since. About a month ago i decided to drive down River Rd to Ilchester for the first time since, but I didn’t stop. I don’t know what happened to the people in the other car. I don’t think I’d ever been so scared in my life.

Also if you walk across the train bridge and through the train tunnel(I think they only use one track and it is two tracks wide) there is a path(used to be) to the right that goes to an old dam in the river, there was an open door on the side, and inside the dam you can see the water flowing over top of you through cutouts on the lower side. There are satanic insignias, pentagrams and such painted on the walls. I went there in the daytime but wouldn’t recommend it at night. Its scary enough walking through the train tunnel wondering if you’re on the right track.

Here’s my conclusion: many people are scared to go that place (even we were scared but we did it) so people come paranoid by this stories and maybe that’s the reason that we were gone after a minute.. JUST FROM FEAR but if I have enough money to go back to Maryland I will check this place out alone cause my friends wanted back to the hotel. I want more information about that place, some of this stories I don’t believe about that blue Chevy Impala and stuff

Seriously, this place is not haunted. In high school we all used to go there to drink and hang out. And the cops come alot. Its creepy enough just walking through Patapsco State Park and checking out those building (the blair witch project was made in Patapsco State Park). But dont waste your time on Hell House. Watch out driving on the road there too…”7 hills” as its called, is a popular place for teenagers to speed through and try to get some air

I received this interesting email about the urban legends and stories surrounding Hell House from another visitor… thanks Lady Frosta…
“Merry Meet, My name is Lady Frosta and I live in Baltimore, Maryland. Hell House as you call it was one of my favorite places and still is because of the lore. I would like to share what I know about it, if I may. Us locals refer to it as Creepy College. St. Mary’s College was a school for high society debutantes at the height of the period, it was built as a charm school for Southern girls. When the original owner built it, he was forwarned about the land being drenched in blood. From the civil war. The owner wanted nothing to do with it and waved the warning away. He wanted to build the school for his new bride who was a school teacher. The years quickly passed with out incident and the man and his wife furnished with love a beautiful daughter, named Agatha, also today known as Black Aggie. As Aggie grew with in the school, she was the owners prized possession and with her charm and poise at an early age the wealthy Southerners threw money at the owner to make their daughters as diplomatic. Aggie grew to be a beautiful young woman and at the age of 16, she was about to have her coming out. It was around this time she started to hear voices of malice and malevolence and was startled by what they were saying to her. The owner and his wife were distraught and called the local doctor for fear that she was not sound or had come down with dimensia. The doctor gave her a clean bill of health. But the voices didn’t stop. The night of the party had finally arrived and the owner’s wife went to help Aggie get ready. She was said to have screamed so loud that the local quarry had stopped work. The owner quickly ran up the stairs to Aggie’s room only to find that his only daughter was dead. A vanity mirror had crushed her skull. Months dragged on the school was closed and resumed as soon as the owner felt his wife was able to teach again. The owner’s wife was said to roam the halls in her sleep looking for her daughter Aggie. The owner was worried and again called for the local doctor. He said that she was suffering from depression and that it would pass as soon as she would stop grieving. The rumors from the girl students were saying that they saw Aggie’s ghost. Some were that when the owner’s wife was sleep walking they could see Aggie’s silhouette walking beside her. The father’s of the girl students quickly pulled their daughters and funding. The owner was starting to panic. One night when he noticed his wife wasn’t in bed he searched for her. He finally found her in the bell tower, she had hung herself from the rope used to ring the bell. The locals stated that she couldn’t had done it herself she needed help. He closed the doors to the school and died shortly of tuberculoses, in his will it was said that he wanted to repent for his sins of not adhering to the warning he was given so many years ago, so he left it to a convent. The convent/seminary was said to have blessed the place thoroughly. Years passed and the Cardinal of the convent/seminary was said to have had lustful desires. He repented, confessed his fantasies, until he was said to have given into them. He molested 5 nuns. This went on for about a decade and his desires had grown more and more erotic and abundant. He too gave into them. One of the molested nuns came forth and confronted the archbishop. The archbishop barred the cardinal, but not with out words. Something like I will be back, no one is safe in this building. God will forsake you all. Something to that effect was said. On halloween night at midnight, it is said that screams were heard through out the building. The nuns and priests came startled out of their beds to find the five molested nuns were hung above an inverted pentagram. A nun for each point. This legend, has made it so that the local satanist are said to occupy the grounds and have their ceremonies there. By satanist, I mean anti-christian, the reverse of the bible, not Luciferians, or those who believe in the self. It was after the nuns were killed a man hunt for the barred cardinal was launched. He was never found. It is said that his soul even now doesn’t rest, but resides with the grounds. He traded his soul to torment those who opposed him. It is said that someone is murdered on Halloween night each year there. Some say the ghost of the cardinal or by the satanists. The bridge is called “Cry Baby Bridge” it is said that infant sacrifices were made there and the bodies were buried in shallow graves either in the cemetary or with in the woods themselves. At midnight you can hear the infant ghost cries, then shortly after you can hear a ghost train, although neither are there. Orbs and spiritual remnants are often sighted there. I have been to the college, and I was in all. I had goose bumps and the hair on my neck stood on end. In the woods farther back there is a swimming pool. There it looks like time stood still. Water still is in the pool, even though it is algae covered. A new diving board is still completely in tact. The brass railings may have ivy grown over them, but the brass itself is not weathered or has a batina finish to it, rather it looks as if it has been recently polished. The most amazing thing are the angel statues. It is said that if you sleep under them them will crush you in your sleep. Also there is a granite cross there, but it is odd be cause it is completely black. Which is unusual for a Catholic facility to have it. Some say that it was spray painted or weathered, I have seen it for my own eyes, it is just black. I hope this helps. Brightest Blessings, Lady Frosta”
…an interesting tale, however, our visitor Thomas- who is responsible for shooting the fantastic pix you see here on this page, and in addition has done a lot of research into the place’s history- offers the following clarifications about the somewhat confusing and unclear stories surrounding Hell House… thanks so much for sharing this with us, Thomas…
“Here are some corrections: (1)Hellhouse itself was never a debutantes school. She is confusing it with Potapsco Institute for Girls located near Hellhouse and often confused with it (2) I have never seen a pool nor have I read any other account of there being one. (3)There are no angel statues at hellhouse.If they had managed to survive looters and vandals all these years, believe me I would have taken photos.(4)Cry baby bridge is in another county. There is a bridge nearby, but its not the famous “Cry baby bridge” (5)Black aggie was a statue in another town. Its no longer there. The nuns story is pretty spooky and actually is associated with hell house, although in the version I heard its was five teen girls who were killed. Few take the story seriously, though. I never heard any story of everything happening on Halloween, or people being murdered there every Halloween.”

I wanted to go that place, but it isn’t on the map and civillians won’t have anything with that place. So I recognized that flat area but we were all to scared to stand on it by all this stories. What they gonna build on that flat area ?
