Forest Haven and Haunted Maryland with Mike from Charm City Paranormal!!! (Part 1)

#RockStarLife: Coffee Break

Alright Darlings, grab your glitter mugs and buckle up... I got two amazing episodes coming your way with Mike Richey from Charm City Paranormal!!! For Part One, We’re spent most of it talking about Forest Haven Asylum in Laurel, MD—one of Maryland’s most haunted (and underrated) gems that I featured heavily in my art exhibition, The Paranormal Realm: Beyond the Lore—and how Mike is one of the only investigators to get inside... which you can watch on his YouTube Channel. Mike also spills about his current investigation—a wickedly haunted farmhouse on the Eastern Shore. It’s not just spooky; it’s next-level complex, as well as adventures with other haunted gems in Maryland like Glendale Hospital and Gunpowder State Park. Let's be real: Maryland is a unrated rockstar of the paranormal, with its old asylums, abandoned hospitals, and historic spirits.

We get into his roots as an urban explorer and photographer with how he leveled up these adventures into running a popular Youtube Channel. Plus, we talk his investigations into the Villisca Axe Murder House, Madison Seminary, and the Vampa Museum. Oh, and we drag unethical ghost hunters because, let’s face it, that mess ain’t cute. And because we did a mini investigation before recording, some ghost activity went down during the chat.

Maryland’s paranormal scene is underrated AF, but we’re here to put it on the map. Stay tuned for Part Two next week—it’s gonna be lit.
