RISSA MILLER - LEGEND OF 'HELL HOUSE' - LON STRICKLER - Live Chat - Q&A - (CREEPY MARYLAND HISTORY)

Rissa Miller is an editor, author, herbalist, seer, and storyteller. Her storytelling expertise stems from extensive research into the area of esoteric history, including ghosts, witchcraft, cryptids, and folklore. Rissa believes the most enduring stories teach us not only about humanity's past but also give us a reason to reflect on our own present beliefs and realities. Her approach to the paranormal involves in-depth historical research layered with first-hand accounts. Inspired by her first ghost experience in York, England at age 8 (it happened after a tour!), Rissa Miller became a history guide when she was 15. Her first gig was with at the Colonial Complex, still operated by the York County History Center. She went on to study at New York University's Tisch School and was an award-winning editor at the Baltimore Sun early in her career. Rissa is also a member of the Phantoms & Monsters Fortean Research team. 'Hell House' is the nickname given to St. Mary’s College, located on a granite cliff overlooking the Patapsco River in Ilchester, Maryland. This college was originally set up as a Roman Catholic seminary during the 19th century and was closed about a century later. This college gained its nickname as a result of the numerous legends/rumors surrounding the institution, which include stories of satanic worship and ghosts. For 20 years, I worked as an engineer for the paperboard processing plant that was located directly across the Patapsco River from the abandoned St. Mary's College. I was well aware of the supposed legends associated with 'Hell House.' As well, I have also investigated various reported hauntings and cryptid activity along the Patapsco River Valley, from the headwaters near Mt. Airy, through Ellicott City, and where the river empties into Baltimore's Inner Harbor and the Chesapeake Bay. My Bigfoot encounter near Sykesville, Maryland was also in the Patapsco River Valley.
