Darlington, MD
The Ramblewood mansion, built in 1841, was owned by the decendents of Captain John Worthington, a wealthy Quaker landowner. The historic home at Camp Ramblewood in Darlington—once part of the underground railroad—is said to be inhabited by paranormal spirits. Slaves would be harbored in the attic, then pass through a number of secret passageways within the house, which would lead them to the basement. Concealed in the basement of the house is a secret tunnel used by runaway slaves as part of the underground railroad. The seven-tenths of mile long tunnel runs to the river, where the runaways would rendezvous with a barge, which would take them across the Mason Dixon Line.
It is believed the presence of a ghost named Nathan resides near the entrances of the tunnel. Nathan was traveling with a group of seven slaves that has been historically traced backed to the diary of Harriet Tubman.

Once home to the Worthington family, Ramblewood House proudly served as a Harriet Tubman safehouse. ‘There are people in the corn’ was code that runaway slaves were arriving. And if all went well, they were eventually transported up the nearby Susquehanna River to Pennsylvania’s shores.

The basement and reported home to the spirit of a runaway slave called Nate. This is where we caught an amazing EVP. 
Entrance to the tunnel in the basement. It ran underneath the home to the Susquehanna River, where boats awaited runaway slaves for transport across the Mason-Dixon Line. 
Photo looking inside and down the tunnel. It’s not very pretty to look at – but for those who used it, we’re sure it was a sight for sore eyes. 
Hole leading from the first floor down into the basement, used for secret and quick passage to the underground tunnel if the situation demanded it. 
Kids’ room on the third floor. This may have been a bedroom to Emily, a 16 year-old girl who reportedly died in the home. 
A resident allegedly committed suicide here, just inside the cupola. A maid is said to have found the body, scurried to get help, and then broke her back after falling down a flight of stairs – turning one tragedy into two. 
Emily’s final resting place in the Worthington family plot, located at a cemetary just down the road. 
OK, this has nothing to do with the investigation. We got lost on our way into Ramblewood and found this gem. How shameful, how sad – and why didn’t we think of this first? (Well done Mr. Greene – well done.)

After our cell phones lost power, this is a nearby phone booth that we kept trying to use. Oddly enough, somebody was always inside making rude noises and yelling, ‘go away.’ (What’s up with that?)
