1. Witch's Grave

In Truxtun Park, Annapolis you can find what is known as the witch's grave. According to legend, a witch was once hanged on a nearby tree and then buried in the cavernous hole pictured here. Rumors say that on Halloween night you can see her roaming the area or dangling from a tree.

2. Crybaby Bridge

Located in Millington, this is one of several alleged crybaby bridges in Maryland. People who visit at night have claimed to hear the sounds of a baby crying. Check out the above video for more information.

3. Decoursey Bridge

Locals tell of a ghost named Big Lizz who haunts the Decoursey Bridge and Greenbriar Swamp in Cambridge. The stories say she was beheaded in the swamp and some have seen her apparition in the area, holding her head in her hands.

4. Pocomoke Forest

Visitors of Pocomoke Forest in Snow Hill have spotted apparitions of slaves and floating orbs throughout the woods. This is a great place to take a camera to see what eerie things you capture, if you dare, of course.

5. Witch's Tree

A drive through Cypress Swamp will lead you to the witch's tree. The contorted tree (similar to the one pictured above) is said to have a haunting history of hangings and is protected by a monster who guards the swamp. Your best bet is to visit during the day.

6. Laughing Sal

At the Ocean City Life-Saving Museum you can find a vintage CREEPY Laughing Sal, similar to this one. Push a button to make her bellow the most horrifying laugh to ever invade your ears. What's even more haunting is that she sometimes starts laughing all by herself. Is Laughing Sal haunted? Or is there a ghost inhabiting the museum, playing with this disturbing doll?
