Real Haunted House

Point Lookout State Park

The last person to live in the lighthouse as a resident was Laura Berg. The lighthouse is now open for tours during daylight hours only on the first weekend of the month. Laura berg is there with her photo album. Also attending is a lady born and raised in Cove Point lighthouse with her own photo album of her father working at Pt Lookout. apparently those who dont believe go there to look. Just enjoy the park and you will catch all sorts of things out of the corners of you eye. You have to remember that this was a Union Operated POW camp during the civil war in a predominantly confederate state. Historical records show that only 6 men from st mary county joined the union and st marys county was a planned escape route for John Wilkes-Booth with the help of several confederate sympathizers including Dr Samuel Mudd and family.

In 2000, and 2001 The company I worked for rented a house on the next cove north of point lookout the house is the one at the end of the road across the street from Shiebles charter fishing place. It was a hot summer night and I was sleeping in an upstairs bed room when I was awoke by the bedroom door opening and I whitnessed A dark figure walk across the room and lay down on the other bed,( this would not be unusual as I had a window unit AC) when I woke up the next morning not only was no one there but my luggage was on the bed(as it was a friday morning I was going home for the weekend after work) the bed room door was still ajar, the old house had doors that had to be forced open or closed because the house was civil war era, and supposed to have been moved form point lookout when it was designated a park we also heard foot steps up stairs when no one was up there. this is not BS

I lived in St. Marys county in Lexington Park for 10 years, Point Lookout and Swans Beach are my favorite spots. I have never heard/seen/felt anything abnormal. I spend most of my free time crabbing, camping, swiming, and fishing. The light house got old and was condemed because of it failing inspection…plus its really not needed, so it was never fixed back up.

Although, point lookout was never scary. I have encountered 2 life changing events that scared me to death. I was a little younger then yet I still think it would be the same effect now on me. The bay is beautiful but the woods…. something about it. Thats the only place I have ever encountered strange/ unexplainable occurences. MD love it, miss it, scared of it!

Ive been there only once for about a week. I remember there being a time of night where everything gets silent. Its pitch black besides for the stars, and I heard this woman begging as she was crying for some one to please help her. I got out of my tent to at least see what was going on, but I simply couldnt find where it was coming from,so I just went back to bed. Later that week I was at a party they held and the police officer there and I were talking, and I asked if the police ever got a distress call from some one the night before. He says were get countless calls from people telling us of a lady crying for help, but we have people search the place and never find anything, and he told me the legend of that lady begging for help for a search for her grave.

I go to Point Lookout often and have recorded many strange voices on my digital recorder. Some are random voices just saying different things, but some actually answer specific questions you ask. Anyone who doesnt believe Pt. Lookout is haunted should take a recorder and walk around on a nasty rainy day, when no one else is there, and ask a few questions and see what they hear. And to those of you who dont think anyone was buried there, just go take a look at the monument. Not only were people buried at Pt. Lookout, but their graves were moved 3 times with the final resting place being at the Monument. Over 3000 people died down there, some in horrible conditions, believe me, that place is haunted!

I use to work at point lookout for maintenance -Grounds keeper . The stories are real.i have seen some things that will make your hair stand on end ! For five seasonal years I worked under Ranger Donald Hammett . One time in late July, I was mowing with the deer 1050 around the back side of fort Lincoln & I kept getting the feeling that I was being watched , the thing was the picnic ground was closed on the lower section because we were expanding the area. I had made a few passes with the deer in the moat & I was coming up along the north side wall looking out towards the Potomac river . just at that time I had an urge to look up at the forts wall . I saw what looked to be a blue misty cloud moving the opposite way I was at the same slow speed. It dissipated at the back corners cannons plat form. At the time it wasn’t scary at all , But, I had a time when I was really rattled . I was in Hoffman’s camp loop digging a new ditch line on the old 1964 ford backhoe . At the time I wasn’t aware that I was digging where the original mass burial grounds ran cross wise through the one loop . I had been their for a while when I got blasted by an ill wind . It was like leaning over a large dead animal . But their wasn’t anything dead anywhere around. It got so bad I almost lost my lunch. I not a wispy person & I don’t scare easy. But that was really bad . It seemed the longer you stayed working their the more you noticed the weird stuff. I found out later from one of the rangers that that was one of the mass burial sites. the dead were buried in long pits 500 to 1000 feet long & three Men deep. I must have disturbed the dead . Even though all the dead were dug up after the war & moved to a Different spot were the monument sits now. They will always lay their. I can say that bad things went on there during the civil war. As far as soldiers being shot & let to rot were they lay that only happened in the Dead man line near where the prison wall was , if any confederate prisoner crossed into that area they were shot on site. Then left to lay as an example of what not to do.

WOW! I love reading all the things that have happened here. My family and I used to go fishing at Point Lookout. We stayed the night on lawn chairs on the side of the road and fished all night. That was when you were allowed to do that, and many people did. I was too young to know about any of this paranormal stuff then but now I’m dying to go back. I wont go alone and I need someone who is willing to get the **** scared out of them because I’m sure we will see SOMETHING!

I Live in St. Mary’s almost all of my life and this whole point look out being haunted is a bunch of BS. I spent a lot of my time in point look out as a teenager, and lived in point look out for some time too. I have never seen anything weird or un-normal. It’s haunted b/c the people have chosen to make it haunted, hense the fake story tellers. I am a believer as my grandfather haunted my grandmother house, so I believe in ghosts. But NEVER not once in all the time I spent there, have I seen a ghost or anything weird~!
