He offered to tell me about Glenn Dale Hospital, which is supposedly a famous ghost legend in Maryland. Since I am a lifelong Maryland resident and did not realize about the infirmary, I was eager to hear the story. The story was told in the nutrition room of a house by a 19 social class old white male native to southern Maryland. He is from a middle class family and his father and mother are a formulation worker and a homemaker, respectively. He heard the story from another friend who claims to have visited Glenn Dale Hospital.The StorySo, in the 30s and 40s they used to send tuberculosis patients to the Glenn Dale hospital for treatment. normal relaxed tone Eventually it was converted into an cracked asylum and it became notorious for its treatment of patients.
