The Best Ghost Tales of North Carolina

Best Ghost Tales NCGuardian spirits or tormented souls?

Stealthy and forlorn, cunning and mysterious, the ghosts of North Carolina’s past linger among the living in this thrilling collection of North Carolina ghost tales. Join author Terrance Zepke as she searches for answers amid the specters and haunted sites of North Carolina. Experience the sightings and chilling encounters told by the winners of the North Carolina “Ghost Watch” contest. Use Zepke’s tips to conduct your own ghost hunt-but don’t forget rule number one:

Author’s Note: I have researched and written twenty-five tales collected from across the Old North State. Some are well-known while others have seldom, if ever, been shared.

Never go alone!Gather ’round the campfire or snuggle up alone under a quilt and enter the world of spirits. Who knows, you may meet one of these ghosts one day.

  • A dejected young woman in a ball gown wails along a shadowy underpass in Jamestown, begging for a ride home. Those who have seen her know her as Lydia, and soon learn that she can never go back home.
  • Coast Guard rescue team found dinner served aboard the shipwrecked Carroll A. Deering- but the crew and navigational tools were lost forever. What force led the voyage of the “ghost ship of Diamond Shoals” into the unknown? Why do the voices of the missing crew still haunt Hatteras?
  • He flicks off the theater lights, she buttons the Edwardian costumes. Often felt but seldom seen, they can’t seem to give up the stage. Who are these elusive spirits whose presence haunts Wilmington’s Thalian Hall?

These were not written to prove or disprove the existence of ghosts. My intent is to entertain you with stories about unexplainable sights, sounds, and strange phenomenon.

My favorites are Legend of the Gimghoul Castle, Hermit of Fort Fisher, Thalian Hall Specters, The Corpse in Chambers Hall, Hanging at Helen’s Bridge, and the chapter on Strange Happenings.
