When the European traditions of ghosts, witches, demons, and the like were brought to America, they landed on the shores of North Carolina. And it was on our soil that settlers documented some of the first encounters with the supernatural in America. But long before the arrival of European settlers, North Carolina was the domain of various Indian peoples. Theirs is a history replete with tales of the supernatural.
Because North Carolina has been a significant part of the American experience from the very beginning, it has emerged as one the most historic places in the United States. And where there is history, ghosts and other elements of the supernatural can usually be found. As a longtime student of Old North State, I can assure our guests that North Carolina has a haunted heritage, one rich in the supernatural.
Do you believe in ghosts and creature of the night? Whether your answer is yes or no, almost everyone enjoys a ghost story or an inexplicable tale of the unusual. And when that narrative has as its basis real people, actual places and recorded events, it becomes more enjoyable because it hints at credibility and believability.
