Baltimore—gritty, historic, and just the right amount of haunted. Tonight we'll dive into the history of Fort McHenry, the birthplace of the national anthem, which also has its share of spectral soldiers still standing watch. Edgar Allan Poe, the city’s most famous literary ghost, is said to roam near his gravesite, perhaps still brooding over his mysterious death. And if you’re looking for a real-life horror story, check into the Lord Baltimore Hotel, where guests have reported eerie encounters with a ghostly little girl and shadowy figures lurking in the hallways. Charm City? Sure. But Baltimore’s got a dark side, and it’s very much alive.
