Todd's Farm / Inheritance
Originally known as the Todd's Farm, Todd's Inheritance is a 4-acre historic farmstead over looking the Chesapeake Bay on the North Point Peninsula of Eastern Baltimore Maryland. It offers a window on American history as seen through the eyes of one family. For over 300 years (1664-1790), the Todd family lived and worked the land, passing the property from father to son for 10 generations. The land was their inheritance, and in 1765 the family farms were combined into a single holding named "Todd's Inheritance." Though the house has no electricty it is said that if an intruder enters the house, lights will come on. The house wasn't lived in for a long period of time until a teacher from Sparrows Point High School bought and moved into it. Shortly afterwards, he was found dead, presumedly suicide, he died from hanging. People assumed he hung himself because there was no evidence of a break in or an intruder, and others say there wasn't any evidence to prove it was suicide. Other teachers visiting him at his home while he was still alive had taken pictures in the home and in the background of the photo's were little bright lights, orbs, and one photo had a face in the window when there was no one in the house.
