I got the idea from reading dafatha00's thread about the weird cave story.
I am posting some of our local spooky, strange and unexplained stuff.
And too, I found some really, really creepy stuff floating around the Internet.
Post 'em if ya got em, click a link if ya daaaaaaaare...
Local: A place in Chatham county where the Devil likes to plot his next evil scheme: Spooky1. (Also included are the Banshee and the Maco Lights, and others)
In Western North Carolina, there are the Brown Mountain Lights.
To the East, one of earliest mysteries, The Lost Colony.
And an alphabetical rundown of general spookiness in North Carolina.
Internet:
Okay, the opening page is creepy enough, but the thing I want you to see is from an Ebay sale.
The general weirdness that is the Ask Bob Head.
My own ghost story:
Back in the day (my first attempt at college) I went to the University of Kentucky and joined a fraternity that owned a big Georgia brick mansion off-campus. The building was actually built on top of the ruins of an ante bellum mansion that mysteriously caught fire and burned down to the cellar.
The original manse was the home of supporter of slavery and the southern cause. He owned eight slaves when the Civil War broke out. He told everyone that the slaves had run off when there were rumors of a union army heading to Lexington from Cincinnatti. When union troops actualy came in a year later, the owner fled to Charleston, South Carolina.
When the Union general scouted for houses to set up camp, an aide suggested that house. Before entering the building there was a loud cry and an explosion that knocked the general and his aides down but not hurting them. They of course suspected that a bomb had been planted and were counting their blessings that no one was harmed. However, when the fire had subsided, the troops were taken aback in horror to see skeletons and dissected corpses in the remains of the cellar. The only intact body was that of the house servant who appeared to have become a cannibal to survive being locked down there.
In the following week, the Charleston gazette reported a death of a man in one of the richer downtown hotels. The man appeared to have died of heart failure but the curious thing to the surgeon's report was that his mouth was smeared with blood and bits of black human skin. And that he was clutching a soot-stained house servant's white jacket.
In the house you can hear footsteps of someone walking up the stairs but no one is there. And while working on the boiler or plumbing downstairs in the basement you feel the presence of others staring at you, or of a man wearing a white jacket holding a silver tray. Other times, if you open some othe shut off spaces under the house you can see bloody or sooty hand prints on the old foundations.
