Patapsco Female Institute
- Patapsco Female Institute
Patapsco Female Institute (PFI) is a former girls' boarding school, now a rebuilt historical site, sitting at the top of the hill in Ellicott City, Maryland, United States. The grounds are home to many community events throughout the year including a Halloween haunted ruins tour created by [http://www.hauntedruins.com/ Haunted Ruins] , popular outdoor performances of Shakespeare by the The Chesapeake Shakespeare Company, archeological digs, weddings and summer camps. For those who enjoy hunting ghosts, the Patapsco Female Institute has long been rumored to be home to at least one. The spiritual presence is said to be that of one Annie Van Derlot who died of pneumonia before her first dreaded semester was over.
