Hell House or Creepy College in Ellicot City Maryland
Folklore

My name is Lady Frosta and I live in Baltimore, Maryland. Hell
House was one of my favorite places, before it burnt down and still
is because of the lore. I would like to share what I know about it,
if I may. Us locals refer to it as Creepy College. St. Mary's
College was a school for high society debutantes at the height of
the period, it was built as a charm school for Southern girls. When
the original owner built it, he was forwarned about the land being
drenched in blood. From the civil war. The owner wanted nothing to
do with it and waved the warning away. He wanted to build the
school for his new bride who was a school teacher. The years
quickly passed with out incident and the man and his wife furnished
with love a beautiful daughter, named Agatha, also today known as
Black Aggie. As Aggie grew with in the school, she was the owners
prized possession and with her charm and poise at an early age the
wealthy Southerners threw money at the owner to make their
daughters as diplomatic. Aggie grew to be a beautiful young woman
and at the age of 16, she was about to have her coming out. It was
around this time she started to hear voices of malice and
malevolence and was startled by what they were saying to her. The
owner and his wife were distraught and called the local doctor for
fear that she was not sound or had come down with dimensia. The
doctor gave her a clean bill of health. But the voices didn't stop.
The night of the party had finally arrived and the owner's wife
went to help Aggie get ready. She was said to have screamed so loud
that the local quarry had stopped work. The owner quickly ran up
the stairs to Aggie's room only to find that his only daughter was
dead. A vanity mirror had crushed her skull. Months dragged on the
school was closed and resumed as soon as the owner felt his wife
was able to teach again. The owner's wife was said to roam the
halls in her sleep looking for her daughter Aggie. The owner was
worried and again called for the local doctor. He said that she was
suffering from depression and that it would pass as soon as she
would stop grieving. The rumors from the girl students were saying
that they saw Aggie's ghost. Some were that when the owner's wife
was sleep walking they could see Aggie's silhouette walking beside
her. The father's of the girl students quickly pulled their
daughters and funding. The owner was starting to panic. One night
when he noticed his wife wasn't in bed he searched for her. He
finally found her in the bell tower, she had hung herself from the
rope used to ring the bell. The locals stated that she couldn't had
done it herself she needed help. He closed the doors to the school
and died shortly of tuberculoses, in his will it was said that he
wanted to repent for his sins of not adhering to the warning he was
given so many years ago, so he left it to a convent. The
convent/seminary was said to have blessed the place thoroughly.
Years passed and the Cardinal of the convent/seminary was said to
have had lustful desires. He repented, confessed his fantasies,
until he was said to have given into them. He molested 5 nuns. This
went on for about a decade and his desires had grown more and more
erotic and abundant. He too gave into them. One of the molested
nuns came forth and confronted the archbishop. The archbishop
barred the cardinal, but not with out words. Something like I will
be back, no one is safe in this building. God will forsake you all.
Something to that effect was said. On halloween night at midnight,
it is said that screams were heard through out the building. The
nuns and priests came startled out of their beds to find the five
molested nuns were hung above an inverted pentagram. A nun for each
point. This legend, has made it so that the local satanist are said
to occupy the grounds and have their ceremonies there. By satanist,
I mean anti-christian, the reverse of the bible, not Luciferians,
or those who believe in the self. It was after the nuns were killed
a man hunt for the barred cardinal was launched. He was never
found. It is said that his soul even now doesn't rest, but resides
with the grounds. He traded his soul to torment those who opposed
him. It is said that someone is murdered on Halloween night each
year there. Some say the ghost of the cardinal or by the satanists.
The bridge is called "Cry Baby Bridge" it is said that infant
sacrifices were made there and the bodies were buried in shallow
graves either in the cemetary or with in the woods themselves. At
midnight you can hear the infant ghost cries, then shortly after
you can hear a ghost train, although neither are there. Orbs and
spiritual remnants are often sighted there. I have been to the
college, and I was in all. I had goose bumps and the hair on my
neck stood on end. In the woods farther back there is a swimming
pool. There it looks like time stood still. Water still is in the
pool, even though it is algae covered. A new diving board is still
completely in tact. The brass railings may have ivy grown over
them, but the brass itself is not weathered or has a batina finish
to it, rather it looks as if it has been recently polished. The
most amazing thing are the angel statues. It is said that if you
sleep under them them will crush you in your sleep. Also there is a
granite cross there, but it is odd be cause it is completely black.
Which is unusual for a Catholic facility to have it. Some say that
it was spray painted or weathered, I have seen it for my own eyes,
it is just black. I hope this helps.

Brightest Blessings,
Lady Frosta
