Desiderata

"Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story."

Billie Holiday (official site)

Baltimore, Philadelphia, or on the way? This is the mystery of Billie Holiday's birth - where?

The real name, Eleanor Fagan Gough, which websites and books that promote or write that Billie Holiday was not born in Baltimore do not site as real name "Eleanor Fagan Holiday." Apparently they aren't familiar with Gough or Gough Street, found in Baltimore City, NOT Philadelphia. The websites that write that Billie is born in Philadelphia do not even mention the fact that much of her life and career was spent in Baltimore City. An important fact to biography buffs: where and when an artist began their career. So one could conceivably conclude that the authors could be anti-Baltimore and anti-Maryland, attempting to grab historic genius at any cost.

Locust Point
A woman who died in a rocking chair with both her children in her arms, during the 1800's, now haunts this area.

USF Constellation
Located on Pier 1, this is probably Baltimore's most known haunting. Capt. Thomas Truxtum ordered Sailor Neal Harvey to be strapped to a gun while it was being shot. This killed Harvey, and now both he and the Capt. haunt the original ship. The ship that is now in Baltimore was built in 1853,and is not the original, it is believed to be haunted by a friend Sailor who tends to give tours to visitors!

MODERN DAY

Baltimore Train Tunnel Fire

On July 18th, 2001 the Howard Street Tunnel, known as Interstate 95 of the train industry, had a CSX train derailment along with a chemical fire. The mysterious contention still lingers on as to how and why this fire occurred in the more than 100 year old tunnel. A flood occurred near Camden Yards due to main water breakages by the heat of the fire, closing business and distrupting light rail sevice. Neighborhoods surrounding the fire like Mt. Vernon, Mt.Royal, Bolton Hill, and Marble Hill were mandated to shut all windows and stay home if not necessary to travel (work) for 5 days, keeping all pets inside. It froze the entire East Coast commodity train service and internet and some telephone service due to cables that were damaged throughout the entire United States. Who knew Baltimore is so powerful! What a power hub!
