Moll Dyer

Moll Dyer
Moll Dyer is the name of a legendary 17th-century resident of Leonardtown, Maryland, who was said to have been accused of witchcraft and chased out of her home by the local townsfolk on a winter night. Her body was found a few days later, partially frozen to a large stone. Stories say her spirit haunts the land, looking for the men who forced her from her home. The land near her cabin is said to be cursed, never again growing good crops, and an unusual number of lightning strikes have been recorded there.
This rock can be seen at the court house in Leonardtown. Not sure if the story is true but my grandmother was a distant relative of Moll Dyer. The people who now own the land are glad the rock was removed and say they have never seen a ghost but strange things do happen from time to time.
