The Waters House
Maryland · United States · House
The Waters family built the farmhouse in the late 1800s and filled it with relatives. One of them is said to have gone to the master bedroom at night.
In the late nineteenth century the Waters family bought land at Germantown, Maryland and built a farmhouse. They were among the wealthier families in the area and relatives lived in the house with them.
The account holds that one of those relatives, out of jealousy, went to the master bedroom one night and killed both owners.
No record has been found for it, and a double killing in a prominent Montgomery County family would have left one, so it should be read as a story the house has carried rather than as history.
What neighbours report is in the house and around it.
The farmhouse survived the transformation of this part of Maryland from farmland into suburb, which is the more remarkable fact about it. Almost nothing else from that landscape did.
It is now a local history centre and is open to visitors.
