Haunted North Carolina Locations

Near Raleigh, North Carolina, one can find Mordecai Historic Park. The park includes the Mordecai House, built by Joel Lane in the 1780s. The plantation was large - thousands of acres producing corn, wheat and cotton. Typical of southern plantations, it was worked by slaves. Mary Willis Mordecai Turk, a former resident, may not have left the home. Many individuals have seen a woman fitting her description. If anyone makes an unkind statement about Mary's photo, the photo is slammed down. On a field trip, a child saw a man with a scar appear, then disappear near the Andrew Johnson house (also located in the park).

In downtown Fayetteville there is a building known as the Fayetteville Women's Club. During the Civil War, a young woman and her lover lived here. When the Union Army approached the area, they attempted to leave the house via an escape tunnel, which exploded as they fled. The couple now haunts the house. The woman can be seen near the stairs, and the man watches television with the residents. If he doesn't like what's on, he'll change the channel.

An abandoned care facility at an undisclosed North Carolina location is haunted. It has even been investigated by professional ghost hunters. The U-shaped building held rooms for residents, reception, offices, and a medical wing. The building appears as if everyone abruptly left: business records, personal clothing, cutlery in the kitchen and even clothes in the dryers sit as if they are waiting for someone to come back and finish their chores. Investigators heard banging, saw orbs, and felt someone or something touch their necks.

In Durham, North Carolina, a house on Holloway Street is apparently haunted by a spinster who died in the house. Evidently she only bothers unwed couples. One woman used to feel very cold when she slept in her live-in boyfriend's heated water bed, and frequently felt watched. After they married, these occurrences stopped. Another couple once came home to check on their pet, and the man felt compelled to blow on a mirror. The word "goodbye" appeared.

Mt. Misery Road runs along the Capefear River, and during the time when people owned slaves, the road ran all the way to Fayetteville. Slave ships would dock at the Capefear River and march the slaves along this road, all the way to Fayetteville. This was a 90 mile hike and many slaves died of heat exhaustion. Late at night moaning and chains can be heard.
