The Civil War was one of the most trying moments in US history. In the war's aftermath the peoples of this great nation would not soon know an end to their strife. Conspirators banded together and ended the life of arguably the United States' greatest president. To this day we can never be sure how many villains were involved in the abominable assassination of Abraham Lincoln.

Many historians still disagree on the exact relationship between Dr. Samuel Mudd and John Wilkes Booth. Did they conspire to kidnap and then eventually kill Lincoln? Is Mudd's innocence  or possible guilt the reason the family home is so haunted? Possibly the most haunted house in Maryland?

Join author and ghost hunter Vince Wilson on another adventure into the unknown! Use actual ghost hunting equipment at this pinnacle location in US history. Perhaps you will uncover the Mystery of the Mudd House!
