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.

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

The Golden Age of Piracy For forty years from around 1690 until 1730, the most famous pirates sailed the High Seas. Writers such as Robert Louis Stevenson and J. M. Barrie, painters like Howard Pyle, and Hollywood in films like Captain Blood made these pirates of the Golden Age of Piracy immortal. They, themselves, were legends in their own time. golden age of piracy • piracy • pirates • buccaneers • blackbeard
