omg i just heard someone turn the phone on and i am the only one in the house omg and on my computer in my room i just smelled perfume and i am 16 so this is all so freaky for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

i went camping at point lookout this summer and i definetly know that this place is haunted. i was in my tent and it was really hot out. then there was a sudden cold breeze blowing. i saw these two shadows walking by my tent, one looked very much like a women. she had her hair up in a bun and she and this other figure walked around my tent about 8 more times.that night i didnt get a minute of sleep.

My family and I have been camping at PLO for years. We used to walk from the campground to the lighthouse at night, until about 2 years ago when the park rangers began stopping us. But before that we would walk along the dark road and just come to the cold spots that everyone talks about. I have only been in the lighthouse once and that was on the One day in November that it is open to the public. It was during the day and I didn’t get any strange feelings. There were a bunch of dead flies in the window sill, very Amityville… (i think those were bees though) Anyhow, my brother and I swear we heard footsteps on one occasion that we were outside the fence at night. The only problem with trying to get any creepy vibes from the lighthouse is that you are surrounded by people fishing and bright lights at the inlet. Now the creepiest story my family and I have dates back to the 80′s. My Uncles and my Brother went down there to go fishing for the night, completely unaware of the stories. They got there around dusk and saw a dark shadow standing by the Point Lookout sign that has the mini lighthouse next to it. They didn’t know what it was so they joked that they saw bigfoot in the woods… until sometime later when point lookout was on one of those haunted tv shows….
Think what you will but I totally believe it’s haunted. Though I’ve never actually seen anything, when I’m camping I don’t walk to the bathroom alone, at night!

About a year and a half ago, A Navy co-worker of mine and his wife were just starting to rent a house back off the road that leads to the lighthouse.He showed me the house before they moved in. It was a rather large house with a huge wrap around deck.
Anyway,they started to move in on a Wednesday and spent the night.During the night, they heard this old time music accompanied by this man’s voice and 2 young children’s voices. He went down to the first floor to investigate where he thought it was coming from and of course as you might guess, it stopped. He even opened the window thinking that it was someones radio but heard no sound. There are only three other homes in this cluster and pretty remote.This happened until 5:30 in the morning when he had to go to work.
His wife returned with him as she stayed the day at the old rental since the lease had not run out. They did not stay again in that house until Saturday night.Same thing happened. Starts between 3am and 5 am.( I guess Ghosts like that old Gary U.S.Bond’s hit “Quarter to Three ” ),seems to be the bewitching hour for most Ghost Stories.Anyway, they left and his wife refused to stay there again.I worked with this guy and he played hell trying to get his deposit back.He never did and he and his wife stayed the rest of his tour here in their original rental property.They were both non-believers before this happened.I personally have been to the ” Point Lookout ” area many times and haven’t seen, but there is an eerie feeling all around. We went to the Lighthouse open house a few years back and did get ORBS and the streaming lights on our photos from the second floor next to the room they call ” The Stinky Room ” We do believe in Ghosts of our past, or is it Ghots ?

I have been there on a lighthouse tour. Where would hundreds of confederates have fallen off a cliff? It all seemed pretty flat and near sea level to me. That is a scary place with a lot of history.

I am into this stuff to I am one of those people who can see the dead I’ve been to alot of scary haunted places. I’ve always been interested in that kind of stuff.

i been there couple of times it does feel strange at night around there and i thought i saw someone walking along route5 i was on my way home it was late at night so i figure maybe she need a ride i stopped she was gone in less then a heartbeat dissappeared scared the **** outof me i sped so fast out of there i was there about two weeks ago it still feels da same at night spooky

5 of my friends gone fishing one night by pt look out and never catch anything and one of my friend saw a lady on a white dress and said “oh look you caught so much fish”" but then again they he look back the lady was gone.. after that just 1 of my friend keep reeling fish 1 to another the four of them never catch anything

I work at the park and there was in fact a graveyard on site but it was moved due to the land erosion. It is a very spooky place with lots of history, and lots of tragedy. lets just say that i try and get out of here before it gets dark

My sister-in-law, myself, and our 6 daughters camped at Point Lookout last week and visited the memorial at about 9:30pm.

Though we did not see or hear anything, we all felt a bit “off balance” and felt the need to sit down. I felt cold spots that gave me chills 3 times in one spot to the left of the memorial. It was 100 degrees that day. a “ghosthunter” acquaintance of mine had once told me to take pictures in the dark. We did that and when we downloaded the pics, saw nothing.
Then I decided to edit on Picasa. Out of curiosity, I used the “Fill light” tool, and uncovered literally hundreds of light orbs in the picture we took first before we entered the property.

Subsequent photos (after we walked into the site)had fewer orbs and none of them were near us in pictures with any of us in them.

I’ve been to the park on numerous occasions and haven’t seen anything…..yet. I’d love to. The scariest thing I’ve seen was a wild raccoon in my tent one night. Can someone here tell me a good place to visit in the park to see some of the unexplained?

Thanks!

Okay, I also work at the park, and feel the need to clarify some things:
1. There is no spot where Confederates “fell to their death.” The area is only a foot or two above sea level at most, and floods are not uncommon.
2. There are, in fact, graves. They were originally in park boundaries but were relocated due to erosion of the original burial area. They are now laid to rest near the obelisk seen near the entrance to the park.
3. The approximate figure of Confederate dead according to our records is 3,384. These records include name, company and regiment of the dead. The figure of 4,000 is an educated guess allowing for the deaths of civilian prisoners and possibly shoddy records. However, I would like to point out that our record books that we use were published in the 1880s.
4. The lighthouse has not been used in a few decades. There is no keeper there, the light is off. However, the schedule of openings has changed. It is now open the first Saturday of every month from 10am-2pm. For a complete schedule, please visit http://www.pllps.org
5. The sign advertising the “Ghosts of Point Lookout” is promoting an annual ghost walk that the park does close to Hallowe’en. The local group, Friends of Point Lookout, uses period costumes and armaments to recreate what life would have been like for the soldiers. Having participated in the event for the last three years, I can say that it is a blast to attend.
6. Contrary to the impressions of a supposed medium, the buildings in Fort Lincoln are only between 10 and 20 years old. They are built based on blueprints in the National Archives in Washington, D.C. and are thus historically accurate. The earthen walls of the fort itself, however, are over 150 years old.

Personally, I have not had any paranormal experiences in the park and do not believe in ghosts, though for those of you who do, that’s cool. I would, however, like to express my personal frustration. Most of the vandalism at Point Lookout comes from amateur “paranormal investigators.” This does not refer to the professional groups that I see from time to time. They respect the park, and I respect them. I refer to the people who throw tables through the windows of the fort, or the people who break into the lighthouse and split 19th-century hand-carved wooden doors down the middle in the hopes of “seeing something.” Those people make me sick. If you want to come visit, by all means do. If you want to hunt for ghosts, by all means do. But respect the park and its history.

I live in St. Mary’s County, and I’ve been to the lighthouse a lot of times. My mother and Aunt have done their own investigations in it when it was open for visitors, since once a year they open it up for people to walk through. Anyways my mom and Aunt experienced voices from their tape recordings and have seen things they still won’t tell me about. i haven’t heard the tape yet, but when they talk about it I know it’s real by their eyes. This place is truly haunted..

I just remembered.. Lol. But my cousin used to work at the park, because her parent’s would always take me to go camping there. She said that one day when she went to check on one of the camp-sites that she saw what looked to be an outline of tents and soldiers of the POW camp that looked transparent in the morning light. She told me she ran away. Also I know that if you stay at a certain camping spot you can feel someone tugging at your feet at night. It’s said that the ghost of a nurse comes back and tucks your feet because she used to do that for patients. Another story I heard is that at another camping spot you will feel anger towards your loved ones because someone hateful died in that spot. It’s a spook there for sure.

I first visited the park when I was 18 months old. This was before formal campgrounds were available there. My parents told me stories of their adventures there, none were ghost related, just wonderful times. My dad’s parents were friends with one of the last lighthouse keepers, and were lucky enough to stay there for weekends. My grandmother told of voices, and seeing transparent people. I loved when the museum was put in, it was how I learned the History of the area. I have had personal experiances, years ago, but have never been afraid. I love that place I call it my little bit of heaven. I always wanted to live in one of the homes on the side roads heading from the causeway toward the point, but was told that they were privately owned, and if ever sold would go to the state…not fair!!! It has been years since I have been able to get there, my family has plans to visit for a week next year, I can’t wait to share it with my Hubby and my son. The park is a peaceful place now, odd when you think of the tragic things that happened there. Small Pox, murders, illness from the extreme cold, stories of prisoners trying to escape during the warmer weather under barrels, floating away to they did not know where. It is a place of nature, plants, animals, and FROGS…OMG!!! I even remember one year, just getting there it began to rain, and there were so many frogs all over the road (RT5) it looked as if was raining frogs. To the person who says you work there, thank you for taking care of my little peice of heaven!!!For those who have not been there, try to go, not just to hunt ghosts, but to drink in the history, and the fresh piny air, and the beauity that is there, It is so nice!!! Both my grandparents and parents are gone now, but I feel closest to them there, at the place of our family vacations, our hey lets just drive down for the weekends, for the memories I have there, dancing in my little white go go boots at Anne and Joes Tavern…eating mini Ressie cups, Buzzies, Ricks, I can almost hear my dad singing “country Road” out loud just thinking about it.

I went to the ghost walk and it was spooky. ^_^
