From the mist-covered peaks of the Blue Ridge Mountains to the windswept shores of the Outer Banks, North Carolina is a land steeped in mystery. Unquiet North Carolina explores the state's most fascinating haunted places, ghost stories, urban legends, cursed locations, cryptids, folk magic traditions, UFO encounters, and historical mysteries. Journey through the halls of the Biltmore Estate, the decks of the USS North Carolina, the eerie isolation of Ocracoke Island, and the strange glow of the Brown Mountain Lights. Investigate the Lost Colony of Roanoke, the Devil's Tramping Ground, the Beast of Bladenboro, and generations of legends passed down through mountain hollows, Piedmont towns, and coastal communities. Drawing on folklore, local history, newspaper archives, witness accounts, and regional traditions, James Blessinger presents a compelling exploration of North Carolina's supernatural heritage while allowing readers to decide for themselves what is fact, folklore, and something in between. Perfect for readers interested in ghosts, paranormal history, Southern folklore, cryptids, haunted travel, unexplained phenomena, and North Carolina history.
