Point Lookout State Park in Scotland, MD, is described as haunted due to its history as a Civil War prison camp and hospital, leading to reports of paranormal activity like disembodied voices, apparitions of a Civil War soldier in the lighthouse, and the lingering spirit of a woman searching for her grave. The park was once the site of Camp Lincoln, a Union-run prison for Confederate soldiers. Conditions in the camp were extremely poor, with high numbers of deaths from starvation, disease, and exposure. Paranormal investigators have recorded both male and female voices in the lighthouse. A Civil War soldier is said to appear in photos against the lighthouse door. The spirit of a woman has been seen, sometimes asking for help to find her grave. Visitors have reported unexplained cold spots within the lighthouse and the surrounding grounds. Many visitors have described the area as feeling eerie, with some sensing the presence of unseen beings.
