Haunting The Carolina Coast: Thirteen Chilling Tales Along The...

Hidden beneath the sandy beaches and deep within the twisted coastal forests of the Outer Banks are the old ghost tales that permeate the Outer Banks coast of North Carolina. These stories can go back decades or centuries. Far from the usual legends that are often told and retold, this collection of thirteen tales of harrowing haunts delivers traditional folk tales and mysterious events including some that have rarely, if ever, been written in print before.You won’t find the usual stories in here, no pirates on the wind, but there are still plenty of ghosts to go around. Spectral figures are seen on the ocean waves, or wandering late at night in a house on Roanoke Island. Strange lights appeared on long lost sand dunes and old, creepy beach houses. Ghostly figures still walk the land around Hatteras, including a musical spirit from beyond the grave. Witches, too, make their appearance, casting spells for good or ill on the land and its inhabitants. There is even a spectral hand that appeared from a solid wall of an Outer Banks landmark and a tragic shipwreck that appears only to the unlucky few who hear the sounds just offshore, late at night.Go check your front door to be sure it is locked. Will that keep the ghosts out as you read? Turn on the porch light, maybe that will help. Or perhaps the glow of a campfire will keep the spirits at bay, just outside in the darkness, as you enjoy Haunting The Carolina Coast. These thirteen stories will be sure to entertain you. But don’t be surprised if you open the book and it gives you a little shiver, too. Prepare to be scared.
