Haunted Ellicott City Maryland: B&O Railroad Station Museum

B&O Railroad Station Museum was completed in 1830 and is the oldest surviving railroad station in the USA and the original terminus of the first 13 miles of commercial track ever constructed in America. In 1857, the building was expanded for passenger service with waiting rooms and a ticket office

The station has experienced two major restorations. The first occurred in 1976 which converted the station to a museum. The second occurred in 1999 which restored the station to its 1857 appearance

During the Civil War, trains on the B&O railroad stopped in Ellicott City to house Confederate soldiers who had surrendered or were captured by the Union. Some conjecture their spirits still remain

The museum is reportedly haunted by a box-moving and stair climbing ghost that has been named “Charlie.” During Civil War re-enactments the apparition of a union soldier has been seen
