Hauntings: Outer Banks of North Carolina - Part I
I was a teenager when I read about how Nags Head got its name. Early settlers on the island were having a bad time. Crops had been poor and they needed money to buy seeds and provisions. They prayed. If a ship was doomed to run aground, let it be there. They did not want to cause a shipwreck, but if one was going to happen, let it be there. As fate had it, a ship ran aground and they would have what they needed for survival. Then some unscrupulous folks got the idea of attaching lanterns to horses’ necks and walking them on the beach. Ships’ captains thought they were farther out at sea because the lights appeared to be other ships and, relying on this, they ran aground and were pillaged. Legend has it that Blackbeard came up with the idea. This article is about Blackbeard and the ghost ship of Diamond Shoals. The Outer Banks of North Carolina are said to be haunted. Psychic phenomena or legend?
