The U.S. Naval Institute was a former home for the poor and mentally unstable, then a Civil War hospital. It is said to be haunted by a patient, a soldier named Jimmy Sutton who died in 1907. He is suspected to have been shot in an argument over a woman. The apparition of a soldier and other apparitions have been reported here, as well as cold spots, doorknobs turning, falling light fixtures, and something trying to push a witness down the stairs. The site has been featured on an episode of TV’s Ghost Hunters.
