Coast

North Carolina’s coast is filled with ghost stories and legends. Along the Outer Banks, up every inlet, through the marshes and swamps, are stories of hauntings, curses, enchantments, and pirates that live beyond the grave. We have flaming ships that sail on the horizon, supernatural hurricane warning systems, and curses from fire and brimstone preachers on towns that hold lost pirate treasure. Let the smell of the salt air wash over you and imagine sitting around a campfire on the beach and sharing some of these ghost stories from the NC coast.
