What many people don't know is that Leakin Park is also known to locals as Murder Park.

Over the years, 79 bodies have been found here, but the number could be much higher due to incomplete archiving in the past. Many of the bodies can be explained by the park being located next to two of Baltimore's most high-crime neighborhoods. Gang-related murders aren't uncommon in the city.

Some of the killers were never found so it's assumed that they're still roaming the city. A scary thought, indeed.
