Description
Take a trip though the chilling history of one of Baltimore's most interesting neighborhoods and discover the eerie ends of Fell's Points departed souls.
The narrow streets and ancient pubs of historic Fells Point are filled with the spirits of the past. Pirates, privateers, sailors, smugglers and a host of others refused to let death change their address. Walk with Edward Fell in the town he founded in 1760 or flirt with the "ladies" at the Cat's Eye Pub. Climb the stairs at Bertha's Mussels to visit the little girl with no face or let a long-dead nurse take your temperature at the Admiral Fell Inn. Ghost historians and authors Mike Carter and Julia Dray introduce the spiritual residents of Baltimore's iconic waterfront neighborhood.
