Description
The monument, entitled 'Grief' once marked the grave of General Felix Agnus, the publisher of the Baltimore American and his wife Annie. Many urban legends surround the black mourning figure. Some stories told about the statue suggest that the other spirits in the cemetery meet in front of the statue nightly and that no grass ever grows in front of it.
Stories of Black Aggie's glowing red eyes and being haunted by ghosts if you'd sat on the statue's lap has made this grave monument the subject of one of Maryland's most popular ghostly legends.
The statue became such a disruption to the Druid Ridge Cemetery, that it was donated In 1967 to the Smithsonian museum in Washington D.C. After years of being in storage, it was eventually moved to the courtyard of the Dolly Madison House on Lafayette Square in Washington, DC, where it sits today.
