Historic Savage Mill

Historic Savage Mill was a textile mill from 1822 until 1947 and now holds artist studios, antique and craft shops and restaurants along the Little Patuxent River. The mill itself runs ghost tours led by its historian, covering the mill's 19th-century working conditions and its resident spirits. Rebecca King, a mill worker who is said to have fallen to her death in the tower carrying spools of cotton, is said to haunt the tower, and Frances Reeley, the young daughter of the last superintendent in the 1940s, is described as a prankster who runs the creaking floors, laughs and trips people on the stairs. A tattoo artist reported a picture knocked off the wall and moved halfway across a room. Maryland tourism lists the mill among its haunted attractions. The stories are tenant and staff lore.
