A veteran journalist tells the fascinating story of how this new town of Columbia grew and prospered, succeeded and failed.

The rolling countryside of Howard County is dotted with dozens of two-hundred-year-old log cabins, humble homes and magnificent manor houses--many teeming with restless spirits. From the specter of the madman murderer at Belmont Manor to the spirits of mangled workers at Savage Mill, the dead return to tell their tales. Delve into the stories behind the Blue Lady of Salopha, the lovelorn poltergeist at the Grayhouse, the shocking secret of the Mead House and the gruesome origins of the tormented spirit at La Petite Academy. Packed with recently uncovered facts, nearly forgotten local lore and chilling eyewitness accounts, every chapter overflows with riveting stories of Howard County's haunted history. Author Shelley Davies Wygant uncovers spooky tales that have never been told before.

Rediscover the magic of the Enchanted Forest in this history of Maryland's Storybook Park, the first children's theme park on the East Coast. The history of the Enchanted Forest is one of magical beginnings. When it first opened in 1955, Ellicott City's storybook land became the first children's theme park on the East Coast. Young visitors could climb aboard rides like the Little Toot tugboat, Mother Goose and Ali Baba or encounter animals like peacocks and burros. Upon its closing in 1989, Marylanders who cherished memories of the Enchanted Forest were deeply disappointed. However, many of the park's beloved figures were moved to nearby Clark's Elioak Farm, where they were restored and displayed to the delight of new generations. Even today, the farm is a popular destination that evokes the whimsical spirit of the iconic park. Local author Janet Kusterer and Martha Anne Clark of Elioak Farm trace the park's history through vintage images and interviews with the Harrison family, former employees and visitors. Join Kusterer and Clark to rediscover the magic of the Enchanted Forest.
