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.

Hello all, When I was in highschool my friends and I used to go up to “hell house”, we called it creepy college. I have never seen or heard anything, but it is still creepy. The only thing I ever heard were the men working at the factory just down the hill on the other side of the train tracks. If you walk behind the building there are steps that go down, almost like an outdoor cellar. That was super creepy. If you continue to walk in the woods behind the college, you will see a cement path. If you follow it you will eventually run into a very tall metal cross on what looks like a cement altar. Since it was a catholic in origin, I am not surprised. Priest and nuns probably stopped there to pray. Many say it has been burned, but it is old so it has weathered. If you keep following the path back you will see a large round cement building with a rounded roof on your right, it it up on a slight hill. That was creepy so we never went near it. You will also see a very old, very dirty and very creepy inground pool and you have to walk through an old pool house to get near the pool. We have never walked farther back then that. I would not be surprised if there were more creepy things on the grounds, after all it was a school for boys entering priesthood.. I can understand why people would say it was called St. Mary’s college since what looks like it used to be the entrance, there is statue of the Mother Mary looking over the entrance. The steps leading up to the building were creepy and small. I also know the bridge people have mentioned. You have to park just below it to the right or left. There were usually tractor trailers parked there. We never heard any cries from the bridge. It is a shame that St. Mary’s was never rebuilt. It looks like it was a beautiful structure in its time. The last time I was there was in the 1999-2000 time frame. I am sure it has changed. My husband is from southern MD so he has never been. Next time we are in MD I really want to take him.

hell house is no longer creepy for it has been demolished to make way for new home construction. the only thing that remains are the steps, and some of the old tunnels.

Ive been there a handfull of times. And yes during the day it is very peaceful. However at night, there are many energies there. Nothing really to be worried about, however if you go to the back of the building around what looks to be a green house of some sort you will find a hole. Around whare the well is. Me and some friends lowered a camera down there once, there seems to be a clsoed off tunel system down there. Ide love to go explore it but thats a danger im not even willing to tackle. And as for the satanic nuns ive heard that a few times, I wouldnt dare say if its true or not. However, the blood at the bottum of the well is very real. Potentially a sacrofitial stone?

The point of a stone being down in the pool is a good one- It may be a certain type of marble or blood stone which is red in color. Do some research on the color of the stones at Stonehenge and you’ll understand the color concept here. Very interesting story- It would be good for a movie production.

I have been to Ellicott City many times, and passed the location of “Hell House” (I know it as “Creepy College” as well.) but it wasn’t untill I met my current boyfriend that I learned what happened to the ruins of it.
His brother and his friends burned it down.

I’ve never been to Hell house, but I’ve been to the Patapsco Institute. Now that place, i do believe is haunted from a few experiences I’ve had in the past. A few strange things happened to my friend and I. But my question, are there guard dogs on the property? Because I heard barking and dogs coming closer to us, from about a half mile away. Amusingly, I had thought it was Hell house that I was exploring and thought the dogs to be ghost dogs or whatnot. But since it wasn’t Hell house, there might have actually been dogs.

Me and my friends went to “Creepy College” about a year and a half ago about this time. It was definitely a very intriguing spot. We went 2 times, once at daytime and once at night. We walked all the way down the path that led behind everything hoping to come across anything else but the path got to overgrown and we decided to stop because we heard gunshots (must have been hunters in the area). We were walking back down the path and a train decided to go by, it was really creepy just being out in the woods at night hearing those sounds. We explored into the cement thing right near the main building, there was a ladder leading into there and it looks like part of it was filled in (I am assuming the part that led down to the tunnels was what was filled in with a bunch of rubble) but if you go down that little ladder it leads you into a small room which had another small room attached to it. Ummm…we also explored the side of the main building. There are pipes that led into the wall on the side, we shown our flash lights down there and decided to be risky and walk down there (don’t go if your claustrophobic, lol) There was, I think, 2 rooms leading off that tunnel we explored (one was small, the other was huge like a basement). A couple times the security truck from the factory right down the hill would make it’s rounds, we had to turn our flash lights off cause we were afraid they’d see us. It was all definitely an experience I will never forget, too bad there is nothing else around MD like that.

Our group in east lab is doing a project to create a virtual haunted house. It would be helpful if your site could send us a copy of the storyline for hellhouse.

Ok, let me clear up this whole crazy caretakes thing. My family personally knew him. He worked for Interlock Steelworkers and was a bum with no place to live. He knew the owners of the property and needed a place to live so they let him stay there if he would watch the place. He was a little crazy and definately an alcoholic. He had a bunch of dogs, rotties, that did attack people a couple of times and I defiantely believe that he mightve shot someone a time or two. Anyway, he was a heavy drinker and a diabetic, lost all his limbs to gang-green and eventually died. The End.

Hi gang: I am here to finally debunk the mystery of Hell House. It was a girls school, then later allowed boys. There were in fact satanic rituals back in the early part of the century. That is why it was closed by the town. None of the rest is true however. I have been there many times, as it is only 2 miles from my apartment. Sadly, the place is in disrepair. The “turrets” have all fallen, and the carousel is covered with cobwebs and satanic graffitti. It is said to turn and play music at night however – ridden by the ghosts of school’s victims. The last time I was up there, which was last thursday night, I saw the caretaker rousting some drinking teens – I think he had a weapon so I ran and didn’t look back. If you don’t know what you are doing, I would not recommend going there. Things can happen and that caretaker is crazy. Love to all.

According to newspaper accounts, the caretaker had chased a trio of young men away from the property a few years ago (1996?). They came back armed with baseball bats intent on doing him harm, so he shot one in the side with his shotgun. Nearly killed the boy. He was arrested, but I do not know if he pled guilty to something or if it went to trial. I imagine that he is in jail for it; even if he was out he probably would have moved on.
What I do not understand is why people persist in mixing up the two sites in their stories? Two different places people … Patapsco Institute was the girls school and St. Marys was the boys school. You can look it up on Ellicott City’s tourist info stie, I believe. Or go to the historical society. They are both well documented.
Myself, I never went to Hell House. I sure heard about it, and Seven Hills. One of my friends supposedly used to go up to Hell House to party…told stories about Satanic rituals, black sabbaths and the like. Said that if you drive in that area late at night sometimes you will encounter a hell hound (again, supposedly this happened to him). It always sounded to me like the sort of scary stories that kids told each other…usually the boys so that the girls would be scared and cling to them. Does anyone know whether that foundation sold the property, or if maybe they got some more funding and will move forward with their plan for a comparative religion institute?

I see that your site is tricksy. You be bleeping my wordses. How dares youz. Prepare yourselfs for my mitey powerz…
This is how you say words like F-u-ck and Sh–it all over ze place and not get bleeped.
Or just talk about raping small children until there @$$holes bleed. Minimal cursing, and the point is driven.
And now for a limerick:
“There once was a man named Kyle,
I f-ucked him.”

I meant college Ave. not College Rd. And speaking of College Road, have any of you heard of speeding on Seven Hills? Supposedly if you hit the 7th hill at midnight a demon car chases you out of nowhere…
