Exposing Baltimore’s Creepy Side

In a marathon trip to Baltimore, the We're Out of Here bloggers explore far beyond the Inner Harbor. We look for ghosts at a haunted neighborhood bar, sample beer at Clipper City brewery and dine at an Edgar Allen Poe themed restaurant. This article originally ran in Feb. 09.
