The Haunted Mid-Shore: Spirits of Caroline, Dorchester and Talbot Counties

There is an otherworldly quality to the Mid-Shore–ghosts seem to rise up from the Chesapeake, and quaint towns hold the spirits of their historic pasts. Oxford’s Robert Morris Inn is still home to its colonial namesake, while the Kemp House in St. Michael’s is host to the restless specter of Robert E. Lee. Murdered actress Marguerite rides the elevator of the Avalon Theater, and Wish Sheppard stalks the halls of the Denton Jail. Near the witching hour, the eerie sound of the swinging body of Bloody Henny Insley can be heard on the grounds of the Dorchester Courthouse. Author and ghost tour guide Mindie Burgoyne takes a chilling journey into the supernatural lore of Maryland’s Mid-Shore.
