Wholesale Haunted North Carolina Coast

The North Carolina coastline is a tourist destination, a paradise for locals and visitors alike—during the day. Its proximity to the Graveyard of the Atlantic gives it other, darker associations after nightfall. When the sun goes down and shadows appear, it becomes the haunted coast. Then the quaint towns and islands that hours earlier played host to happy inhabitants are peopled by long-dead pirates, specters, poltergeists and some things that defy description. The ghost of a blind mother searches for her lost son, her wooden staff tap…tap…tapping through the night. Five hoofprints give silent testimony to a cocky rider’s race to hell. Author Thomas Smith walks through places best not explored alone.
