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 Halloween tours, popular outdoor performances of Shakespeare by The Chesapeake Shakespeare Company, archeological digs, weddings and summer camps.
The Patapsco Female Institute is rumored to be haunted by the ghost of a young woman named Annie Van Derlot who died of pneumonia while attending school there.[1]
