OVER THE PAST DECADE, ANTIETAM CABLE TELEVISION
HAS BROUGHT YOU PROGRAMS BASED ON LOCAL GHOSTS AND MYTHS FROM THE AREA. FROM GHOSTS AT THE MARYLAND THEATRE TO LEGENDS SUCH AS SPOOK HILL, THESE PROGRAMS HAVE NOT ONLY DELIGHTED BUT SCARED AUDIENCES WITH THEIR STORIES. IN THE SUMMER OF 2003, ANTIETAM CABLE BEGAN WORK ON A UNIQUE NEW PROJECT THAT CONTINUES THESE STORIES OF THE SUPERNATURAL. IT’S A PROJECT THAT HAS TAKEN MORE THAN A YEAR TO WRITE, EIGHT MONTHS TO SHOOT AND ENCOMPASSES MANY LOCAL HISTORICAL SITES IN WASHINGTON COUNTY. THIS PROJECT IS ANTIETAM CABLE TELEVISION’S ADAPTATION OF THE BOOK, SOUTH MOUNTAIN MAGIC. THIS NEW PROGRAM, SLATED TO AIR THIS WINTER, IS BASED ON THE BOOK WRITTEN BY MADELEINE VINTON DAHLGREN IN 1882. IN THE 1870’S, MRS. DAHLGREN PURCHASED THE PROPERTY THAT WE KNOW TODAY AS THE OLD SOUTH MOUNTAIN INN AND TURNED IT INTO HER SUMMER HOME. MRS. DAHLGREN WAS A NOTED WRITER OF THE TIME AS WELL AS FOUNDER OF THE WASHINGTON, D.C. LITERARY SOCIETY. DURING HER TENURE AT HER HOME JUST OUTSIDE OF BOONSBORO, MRS. DAHLGREN DELIGHTED IN LISTENING TO HER NEIGHBORS TELL TALES OF STRANGE EVENTS AND STORIES OF GHOSTS THAT SUPPOSEDLY FREQUENTED THE AREA SURROUNDING SOUTH MOUNTAIN. SHE DELIGHTED IN THESE STORIES SO MUCH THAT SHE PLACED THEM INTO A BOOK AND IN 1882, “SOUTH MOUNTAIN MAGIC” WAS PUBLISHED. ANTIETAM CABLE’S AWARD WINNING PRODUCTION TEAM ADAPTED SEVERAL OF THE STORIES FROM MRS. DAHLGREN’S BOOK FOR THIS NEW PROGRAM. FROM THE PAGES OF AN ORIGINAL COPY OF THE BOOK, COMES SOME OF THE STORIES THAT HAVE LONG BEEN FORGOTTEN IN THIS AREA. STORIES INCLUDE... TALES THROUGHOUT THE HISTORY OF THE OLD STONE BUILDING WHICH SITS ATOP TURNER'S GAP. THESE INCLUDE:
OTHER STORIES THAT COME FROM THE PAGES OF MRS. DAHLGREN'S BOOK INCLUDE SOME FROM THE SURROUNDING AREA ON SOUTH MOUNTAIN.
8 STORIES HAVE BEEN ADAPTED FROM MRS. DAHLGREN’S BOOK AND HAVE BEEN BROUGHT TO LIFE THROUGH THE TALENTS OF ANTIETAM CABLE’S PRODUCTION TEAM. |
