Dorchester 10/23
 Take
a tour through the Eastern Shore countryside and visit sites known to be

Author, Mindie Burgoyne takes guest on a journey that includes legendary
haunted places and lesser known sites associated with mystical or paranormal
activity. A luxury tour bus is the vehicle that carries guests down
country roads, through some of the most scenic landscapes in the Mid
Atlantic region, while Burgoyne points out locations that highlight the

See upcoming tours.
Mindie Burgoyne has spent years researching haunted sites in Maryland,
garnering information from public libraries, old newspapers, folklore
collections, and residents. Her research has been used by many other
authors and media professionals including the National Geographic Television
Network. Her approach with each site follows a three-step process.
1. the history of the site
2. the haunted tale or legend associated with the site
3. what people say about the site today ... is it haunted?

29TH - PICTORIAL JOURNEY - STORYTELLING - ON HAUNTED EASTERN SHORE
FIRST IN A 3-PART SERIES
 They
walk beside the murky waters of the
Chesapeake Bay, linger among the fetid
swamps and roam the manor halls. These are
the tormented souls who refuse to leave the
sites of their demise. From pitiless
smugglers to reluctant brides, the ghostly
figures of the Eastern Shore are at once
terrifying and tragic.
Join Mindie Burgoyne on a spine-tingling
journey as she recounts the grisly events at
the Cosden Murder Farm and the infamous
legend of Patty Cannon and how her skull
became separated from her pitiful remains.
Tread the foggy lanes of Kent Manor Inn and
linger among Revolutionary War dead to
discover the otherworldly occupants of
Maryland’s most haunted shore.
The first part of this adventure is an in
class discussion and pictorial journey to
the sites. Two bus trips that explore the
sites by county will follow in October
(students register for bus trips
separately). Course fee is $24. Class held
at the Wye Mills Campus. Thursdays, 9/29/10,
6-8 pm. For more information or to register,
contact Marci Leach at 410-827-5833 or
mleach@chesapeake.edu.
