( Handout photo / October 26, 2007 ) Many ghost stories are tied to The Point Lookout Lighthouse in St. Mary's County. The isolated site was one of the most notorious Union prisoner-of-war camps. One of the sightings involves Joseph Haney, an officer who died rowing to shore after his steamer ship sank in 1878, according to local author Ed Okonowicz. A resident of the lighthouse reported seeing the spirit walking toward the bay, leaving puddles of water in his wake. |
