The Wayside Inn in Ellicott City is rumored to be haunted by the spirit of Jerusha Howe, a former hostess, and possibly other spirits like a woman named "Jenny". Reports include eerie piano music, the scent of Jerusha's perfume, objects moving, footsteps, and the feeling of a presence in rooms 9 and 10. Male guests have experienced specific sensations of breathing or seduction from Jerusha, and a medium once identified the spirit "Jenny" as an older woman still at her job. The "Ghost" of Jerusha Howe: Jerusha Howe was a hostess at the inn, and her spirit is believed to be the most prominent one. Guests often report smelling a citrus-scented perfume, believed to be Jerusha's. Men have claimed to feel fingers pressing on their legs, or a soft, seductive breath on their face. Some male guests have felt her caress them or lay down next to them in bed. Her spirit has been seen floating in rooms 9 and 10, sometimes with her face appearing above guests. The eerie sound of piano notes is sometimes heard at night. Her presence is particularly noted in rooms 9 (her former room) and 10. Guests report conversations, as seen when parents heard voices and the couple in room 10 heard the same, suggesting Jerusha talking to a friend. A Spirit Named "Jenny": A medium confirmed the presence of another spirit, a woman between 38 and 42 years old with styled hair, whom the medium named "Jenny". Guests have heard unexplained footsteps and doors opening and shutting, and doorknobs moving. A guest reported being awakened by someone pulling her leg in bed and felt the spirit was trying to warn her about her brother.
