Hauntings: Outer Banks of North Carolina - Part II The Outer Banks of North Carolina are said to be haunted. Psychic phenomena or legend? In Part I, I wrote about Blackbeard and ghostly phenomena associated with him and about the ghost ship of Diamond Shoals. This article is about The Crissie Wright, a ship and her tragic fate, the lost colony of Roanoke and very few bits about ghostly phenomena. Despite my extensive library and Internet searches, I have not found much else about paranormal activity on the Outer Banks and would love to go there and investigate when I visit my family. Paranormal research is difficult. I have found websites that have stories of haunted places that are not true. They are either urban legends or a writer’s imagination. I have found that there are sites that appear to copy these from other sites and perpetuate them. This article is a bit of a departure from the ones I usually write about because the major thrust is the mystery of history, the lost colony of Roanoke, yet, is, in a way, paranormal in that colonies do not normally disappear without a trace. paranormal • ghosts • outer banks • north carolina history • cape hatteras lighthouse
