Richmond Haunts long-form
Haunted Maryland State Parks: Point Lookout, Rocks and Pocomoke
Episode notes
About this episode
| Maryland’s state parks preserve coastlines, forests, rivers and historic landscapes, but some also carry stories shaped by war, death and unexplained experience. This episode begins at Point Lookout State Park, whose Civil War history includes a large prisoner-of-war camp for Confederate soldiers.
From that central story, the route moves west to Deep Creek Lake State Park and north to Gunpowder Falls State Park and Rocks State Park. Each landscape has its own history, recreational identity and body of local lore. The final stops are Rosaryville State Park in Prince George’s County and Pocomoke State Forest on the Eastern Shore. The episode distinguishes documented park history from ghost stories and visitor reports, giving Point Lookout’s wartime losses the care they require while exploring why preserved landscapes often become repositories for memory. |
