Ghosts of the North Carolina Shores

by Micheal Rivers

Overview

Take a spooky journey through the shore towns of North Carolina. Find ordinary men and women who've witnessed ghosts. Meet a dead Confederate sentry who has not left his post. In Weldon, waltz with a ghostly lady ... until she disappears. Witness a battle at Bentonville that appeared to be a re-enactment—it wasn't. From the Chowan River to beaches of the Outer Banks, the spirits of the North Carolina shores never rest.
