True Ghost Stories
The Ghosts Of Caroleen Bridge
There are ghost stories of hauntings all over North Carolina. One of the most famous is the story of the two sisters who were coming back from a trip to South Carolina in 1943. They lived on the other side of the river bridge going towards the town of Caroleen when there came up a horrible thunderstorm. A truck ran the sisters off the road and their car fliped over and over ending up in the river. Both of the elderly ladies were killed in the accident. And it was not long until people began to tell a strange paranormal story. It is told that when their is a thunderstorm going on after dark people have picked up the ghosts of the two sisters walking on the road before you get to the Caroleen River Bridge. They get into peoples cars and say thank you and tell where they live on the other side of the bridge but they vanish when the car is driven across the Broad River bridge.
And over the years many people have told of picking up the two elderly ladies. Some people have reported that when you cross the bridge they vanish and there are two wet spots on the car seats. Ghost Hunters from around the United States have visited the site and some have even recorded a evp near the bridge that is said to be that of a old lady saying " Please Help Us" So apparently the two ladies who wrecked there are trapped there forever in a residual haunting that seems like it will go on forever.

Many ghost hunters and paranormal experts say that the NC Outer Banks is one of the most haunted places in the whole United States. It is said that scary ghosts are seen all up and down the ghost of NC but especially around Ocracoke. Maybe Blackbeard has some creepy ghosts helping him out haunting the NC Outer Banks. People say the ghost of Blackbeard is most often seen walking on the beach near Ocracoke. What is he looking for. Is it his treasure that he is said to have buried in the area long ago.
The Devil's Tramping Ground , Siler City NC
Located in the woods near Siler City NC is a large circle where nothing grows. Over the years people have placed large stones inside the circle only to come back the next day and find the stones gone or moved out of the circle. In 1986 one of the best documented events ever happened at the Devil's Tramping Ground. A group of boy scouts was camping at the location and one scout set his tent up inside the circle. The next morning the tent and the scout had been moved 75 yards outside the circle. No one saw the move but 47 Boy Scouts and Scout Masters say it happened.

True Ghost Stories Of North Carolina
The Battleship, The USS North Carolina is located at 1 Battleship Road in Wilmington NC. From all over the United States came the men most of them not much more than boys that served in the Pacific Theater during World War II. The US North Carolina was involved in almost every major battle of the Pacific Theater and many young men lost their lifes aboard the ship while she was involved in the fight against Japan.
And many of the mens ghosts remain today aboard the grand old lady. She keeps her secrets well but many of her visitors have had some very strange paranormal experiences aboard the USS North Carolina. You name it and it probally has happened. Tools vanish. Vacum Cleaners have completly vanished never to be seen again. People have sworn they have saw a officier running across the deck yelling at people to get down. Many people have thought it was part of a show. But its not. People hear screams of men and strange banging sounds coming from below deck. And many ghostly figures have been seen running or walking all over the ship. Ghost Hunters who have visited the ship say it is one of the most haunted places they have ever been. Just simply a hot bed of paranormal activity.
The Night Watch Men on the ship over the years say that 3-4 nights out of the year for some reason the activity is the highest. On those nights ghosts just simply put on a show. You hear the ghosts running up and down the halls and if your below deck you hear the sounds of the big guns above you only when you get back above deck there is no activity and no one around.
The Night Watch Men have also smelled the smells of cooking coming from the old kitchens. They say you can smell coffee boiling plain as day. But there is no one cooking in the kitchen. A black cook's ghost is also seen in this area. He simply walks through and vanishes at the kitchen door.

This is a subject I have always enjoyed reading about and doing research on. I have studied it for many years. Very interesting Hub! Thank you I enjoyed it!
Thanks for your replies. They are appreciated.
"Haunted Historic Greensboro" by Theresa Bane was just published a few months back. It covers between 15 and 20 places. I would suggest checking it out.
she also has the best information about the DEVIL'S TRAMPING GROUND including the actual state's soil sample results.
but best of all is the actual death certificate for LYDIA, the phantom hitchicker.

When I was a freshman in highschool my class visited the USS North Carolina Battleship Memorial in Wilmington, NC.
Myself and some other girls were playing around in the lower deck when a young officer walked up to us and asked if we were on a class trip.
He said he worked on the ship and had gotten hurt in an explosion and he felt it was dangerous for us to be there playing. One of the girls left to find a staff member and by the time he got there the ghost was gone.
He told us we had seen a ghost. I thought the ghost was a part of the staff dressed in uniform for an reinactment exercise. I had no idea I was actually talking to a ghost.
He was a slender white male, young in age between 16-18 yrs old(maybe 19-20 yrs), He was dressed in a brownish tan uniform with a white, black, and gold Naval hat on (if memory serves me correctly). He was very friendly and seemed to be concerned about our safety.
Here it is 21 years later and it is as vivid in my memory as if it happened yesterday. Thank you for allowing me to share this life changing experience with others.
for all researchers I invite you to vist Hall Crossing near Phifer Road and Fulton Road. It is said it could be a buriel ground for the civil war or revolution war periods I know that the police has been called several times in this area.
Is there a place I can go in cyber space to see the Brown Mountain Lights? Do they still exist?
we were wondering if anyone knew about cleghorn plantation. we have been there and seen ghosts of slaves and plantation owners. we have also heard that many slave body are in a graveyard near where we were when the ghosts appeared if anyone has any information or a website for us to look at please reply thank you!!
My mother stayed at a Comfort Inn in Triangle Row, North Carolina on Page Road & she stated that she had a ghost crawl across her & lay down next to her in the king size bed she was sleeping in one night, then days later it changed the clock in the room that she used to wake up in the morning. My mother didnt touch the clock for more then 24 hours, but the time was correct when she went to bed. She stated that was the weirdest thing that ever happened to her! She said she was too afraid to tell the people in the hotel, but she confided in others to tell while she was there. If anyone looks into it, this occurred in room # 329.
this looks REALLY interesting im doing a school paper and i think im going to do it on this topic
Hi, I live in Kings Mountain, NC. Me and som famly want to go somewhere ligit. We want to go Halloween weekend. Do you know of anywhere in our area. thanks
I really love Ghost stories..Weird things really interest me a lot. Thanks for sharing this.. By the way, what can you say about having sixth sense (third eye)??? ^^,
I do know that I and other family members of mine can see things that other people can not. I myself have been seeing ghosts and spirits since I was very young. I am now 51.
People can doubt the existence of ghosts all they want but I know for a fact that ghosts do in fact exist and I still see them quite often. There is a ghost of a older lady in the house where I live now. I see her and hear her singing quite often.
January 1, 2010. Hi! A couple of days ago, my family and I did the walking tour of the USS North Carolina. When we were almost done with the tour and we were inside the ship on one of the levels, I smelt hamburgers cooking. It was very strong and totally engulfed the area and over came all other smells, like the old oil from the engines. It was almost a steamy. It was coming up from one of the stair wells. I thought perhaps they had restored one of the kitchens and used it to serve lunch to tourist. When we were leaving the ship, I asked someone who worked there if they served food on the ship, she said, no, there was a small snack area for chips and pop though in the adjoining building. No one else I was with smelt those hamburgers cooking, but it was real strong ....I will never forget it. Hmmmmm....
Some friends and I went to this house calld 115 house, in Mooresvile, well we recorded stuff on our cell phones. We went in around 1:15 am. We turned around and a door slammed shut. Then we asked if they wanted us to leave. We listened to our phones and it sound like a woman saying get out. We are going back since there is a rumor that if you play the piano you get thrown across the room. We also saw someone walking, a few shadows, and what we thought to be eyes.
i would like to see this 115 house anyone know where this is?? my e mail is sterlngshawty07@yahoo.com or if you know of any other places that might be interesting in nc closer to the chharlotte/salisbury/rockwell/china grove/spencer/concord/kannapolis area

in shellby laurel hill apartments are hunted in the woods near the creek by some little girl and the bad gost is a man and if you clap your hands you u can hear the girl scream and the man hold a chan saw wiyh him.the girl wears a blue white and red dress. she has curly brown hair. the man is bold. she weres the red dress because she died in that/the white dress is the dress her mom got merryed in /the blue one isthe one her mom died in.
Dude the woods behind laurel hill apartments so are totally haunted! we even got pics of the little ghost we call amanda and since there is a creek behind our apartments me and my friends believe that that man shadow figure we see(which we also have a pic of) drownded amanda. and the weird thing is, is that on August 14, 2009, a little girl named Lilly Willover was drowned by her moms boyfriend and her moms name was amanda too. so we believe that the ghost we call amanda was a warning of lillys death. and going down in those woods which im not allowed anymore but when i did go in those woulds i would feel claustriphobic, dizzy,head ache and would cough a lot. so if you ever get the chance, go to laruel hill apartments, shelby, NC. or go to the holly oak park beside apartments and go on the nature walk and your in the woods and will evintually reach the creek.

I happen to be very fascinated with the spirit world, but not once have I encountered anything genuine enough to label "paranormal" (grrr). about every other week, i pass by an old, abandoned house. I was told that the Conner family once lived there a long time ago, and that house it rumored to be haunted. I dont know the story hardly at all, but if anyone can give me any information on this location, drop me an email. This house I believe is near a small town called Terrell. It has green awnings with a large "C" on them. Hopefully someone can shed some light on this place, and let me know. Thanks much. email is tranquilyankee1@embarqmail.com
This old warehouse was visited by The Ghost Hunters a few years back as they gathered evidence of paranormal activity.Some think this warehouse built in the 1890’s is haunted, and is the area’s only true Myrtle Beach Haunted House. This 8000 square foot, lower river warehouse, is located a few minutes from Myrtle Beach. Situated in downtown Conway SC, under the Main Street Bridge on the Riverwalk.
These stories are great to me because I. Live around the area, and my mom used to read me stories about the devils tramping ground! It wasnt mentioned here but the brown mountain lights are also spooky, I've seen them myself, Once u look away they're gone! I've been 2 the battleship many times and its great
Last night me and some friends went to a house that was supposed to be haunted. It isn't a well known place but we decided to check it out anyways. We got there and parked in the graveyard next to it and took a few pictes just for fun. We caught loads of orbs and it was amazing that they only showed up in certain areas. When we finally got to the house we sat on the porch and sat a flashlight in the center of it. While we asked the 'ghost' a few questions the flashlight would blink on and off as if answering to the questions. We also saw shadows peeking around the barn and a blind actually started rocking back and forth. Needless to say, we were scared.

I have had an experience in the USS North Carolina. Last year, me and my family took a vacation to Myrtle Beach. On the way back, we decided to take a detour to the USS North Carolina. We went into the ammunition room below deck, and were in awe of all the things they used as counter attacks when suddenly, I felt myself lift off the floor and get throw backwards. I couldn't hear what the spirit was saying but it felt like he was saying, "WHAT THE **** ARE YOU DOING BELOW DECK?! GET TOPSIDE, GO GO GO!!" I was forced out of the room with no recollection of actually walking out. As hard as I tried, I could not get back into the room as if someone was holding me back.
Piney Grove Church, in Concord NC. Did an investegation there lil over a year ago. before going i heard things about the place. well they are all true, I didn't catch anything on video but got some cool EVP'S of a man saying hey to us several times and church bells ringing when there isnt any there. Creepy, creepy place.
There's no place like home: Odell a small community located in Littleton North Carolina All spirts are alive and well, There has been so many sighting in this community that I feel the need for anyone that test these type of occurances please go. I trased the property back to the eighteen hundreds. For it was sold to my family dirt cheap(basically lets get rid of this. there were some barrell found on the property buried still there no one investigated. come one come all.
I am a resident of Laurel Hill Apartment complex. The ever tragic death of Lilly Willover is completely true. However the story of the ghost girl by the creek is completely fictional. The fact that Lilly’s mothers name is Amanda is coincidental at best. The pictures of the apparition is probably a miss find caused by two factors one you don’t know how to hunt for ghost or two you don’t under stand the cameras technology. The rumors that the apartments are built on a cemetery are also false.
There is an old mill on Dukes Lake Rd in Zebulon, NC. I've been to dozens of places that were thought to be haunted and never encountered any strange things. That changed when I went to the old mill. Whatever is there is not friendly and I believe something bad must have happened there. I've heard different stories from people who have lived in the area for more than 50 years but no one is sure what happened. I have got some really strange orbs and other apparitions on camera in side the mill and around the lake. The mill seems to have the most activity but the lake itself does have some interesting things going on.I'm not the only person who has encountered strange activity at this place so I'm certain there is more going on than meets the eye. I felt an over-whelming since of sadness and anger while I was there. It was enough to make me not want to ever go looking for ghosts again. The mill is located at the corner of Dukes Lake Rd and Fowler Rd in Zebulon,NC.
In Bath Nc there are a few places that are haunted one of them is the old church they have there. People have spent the night there and have heard voices and bumps and whispering. Its haunted because people are buried under it. Its a really good place for ghost hunting. Also there is a bunch of old houses that are haunted. Sometimes you also can see lights.
I live in Shelby North Carolina and have heard about that little girl but I actually lived in a haunted house on 410 Gold Street and my family and I lived there for eight years and I can tell you it was the longest eight years of my life. At first it was just little things like something being moved from where you put it and you just think you misplaced it and my cats looking like they were following something or even hissing at thin air every so often but I can assure you things got progressively worse. It is a two story brick house built in the early part of the 20th century and seeing as my family was always interested in history we recognized the setup of the house was similar what an older funeral home would be like.The hallway by the stairs always made you feel like someone was staring at you from the top of the stairs and the little side door in the hall that led to the basement always made you feel a cold chill right down your spine and that there was something evil down there. Not to mention once you got upstairs which we always ran up there like someone was following us. Over the years we just lived with it until about the last three years which was how long it took us to get rid of that house. We have always embraced the paranormal but in the room my sister and I shared the closet door would always slam open and hit the wall late at night around midnight and I would peek out from under my blanket and I swear I would see a shadow staring at me like a large man and it would seem just plain evil. Then another time about three months later I just awoke in the middle of the night for no reason out of a dead sleep and saw the light on from our upstairs bathroom down the hall on and we always turned it off, and across from that door is an unfinished creep and foreboding room where you can just feel that something bad happened in there, anyways I walked down there too see the sink and tub handles turned on full blat and the sink and tub almost overflowing I should explain we had put a light candle with lavender and rosemary around the candle to soothe the spirits and that candle was snubbed out right before my eyes and the door across from the bathroom was wide open and I could feel someone staring at me with my hair on the back of my neck standing on edge. Then the final straw came when my grandmother left for a trip and she wanted em to stay in her room so her cat wouldn't tear up her furniture. I had a dream that a large bearded man was chasing me through the back yard and I tripped and fell and he straddled my back wrapped his hands around my throat and started choking me. When I woke up I heard my closet door across the hall slam open again, when I woke up from that restless night there were large hand prints bruised around my throat. My mom, and little sister and I were the only ones in the house that night and after that we finally moved but things continued to happen up until the last day like my grandmothers clock in her closet it had died so we took the batteries out and put it in the closet at least five months ago and the last day I went to get it and there were no batteries in it and it the secondhand was ticking away but the hour and minute hand were frozen at twelve. I rushed out to go downstairs and get out of that house and as soon as I looked across the hall from the top of the stairs I saw the dark figure of the man from my doorway I ran out of the house strangely enough one of my friends at the time heard me tell someone at church that we had moved she asked where we used to live and once I told her the address she told me her great grandparents used to live in that house and that they were told that someone who lived there before them was pushed down the stairs and their neck was snapped and even today if I drive by the house I can see him peeking out from the top floor where my brother's room used to be and feel panic rush over me and get ice cold.
I'm usually not one to get scared just reading about supernatural encounters, but reading Amanda's post made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I had no idea the USS North Carolina was rumored to be so active. I've been inside several times but being that I'm a bit claustrophobic, I've never gone down more than one level. I'm glad I didn't know..
I just took the Haunted Cotton Exchange tour in Wilmington NC. At first I wasn't sure, they say it is one of the most haunted locations in Wilmington. Well.... after about 30 min. I was convinced. I captured several pics with orbs and one had a face in a window. We also ran into a very strong smell of vinegar. There was no way it was coming from a restaurant. Everyone smelled it, our tour guide was very surprised and I think shaken but kept the tour going. Very enjoyable!
I hav always enjoyed reading about ghost stories

Me and my friends went out to the devils tramping ground this weekend and we encountered many strange things. It seemed like a normal camping trip until about 12:30. our emf detector that we took started going crazy. i myself felt something touch my back when nothing was behind me. i saw bright yellow orbs. also when walking the trails that surrounding the area and heard growls over their shoulders. also we made recording trying to reach the spirit but the responses that we heard were not human but some sort of strange creaking after almost every question that we asked it. Ever sense i went there i have felt a strange feeling like something is always over my shoulder and i also heard something fall in my house right behind me to turn around to see nothing had fallen. But about things being moved off the tramping ground that is false because we were able to spend an entire night there. We did not go to sleep tho and we will be returning to see if we will be moved from the grounds.
look up broughton mental hospital it has a history... a very bad history...
I took a tour in Wilmington last year at the Cotton Exchange. I had heard from some of the shop keepers that the place was haunted. While on the tour, I caught several orbs and what looks like a face in the Paddy's Hollow Pub. The tour guide had caught a similar picture several years ago. The stories were good but seeing shadows moving out of the corner of my eye really gave me the creeps. I understand that the Ghost Hunter show has tried to investigate the Cotton Exchange but the shop owners refused, not wanting that kind of publicity?

me and my girlfriend recently moved to wilmington nc and are wondering about haunted sites around the area we live by 4 cemeteries and go to all of them none are haunted lol but wed love to hear about other sites we could visit.my email is zynlux@hotmail.com if anyone has any suggestions
I use to live in the Meadows apartments near Laurel Hill Apartments. I never new it to be haunted; but, some people have clairvoyant abilities to see the spirit world so I don't doubt the wooded area is haunted. But a ghost can only scare you if you don't know who spirit of the ghost is. There was some weird incidents about the woods between Holy Oak and Laurel Hill for years. It was known to be a haven for pedophiles too.

Does anyone know about any haunting on Raleigh Ave? My son is staying at one
of the apartment on that Rd. and have seen alot of orbs and a figure of a young
boy- maybe he might have drowned years ago.
