Entry No. 35 — the Washington, D.C. file — filed under: haunted restaurant

Elkridge Furnace Inn

An 1835 ironmaster's house sits on the site of Caleb Dorsey's 1751 furnace, which forged cannons and bayonets for the Revolutionary War; the restaurant now running out of the house openly invites diners to 'ask about the paranormal happenings we've observed on our watch.'

The move: Book a riverside dinner table inside the 1835 furnace-master's house on the Patapsco, and actually ask your server about the paranormal happenings - it's part of the house patter, not a hidden secret.
