The Many Misrepresentations of Pocahontas
Pocahontas was a real Native American girl who helped the English survive in the new Virginia colony of Jamestown. But most of the stories told about her are far from truth. What really happened back in the early 17th century between the English and the Powhatan tribe, and what became of Pocahontas after she left her native lands? See how history has been distorted through the centuries - you may be surprised by the facts.

Texas Jack, Army Scout and Hunter
Texas Jack was truly a "jack" of all trades. He was a soldier, scout, Indian fighter, and guide. He knew many of the famous men of his time, such as Buffalo Bill Cody and Wild Bill Hickok. He enjoyed taking rich men out on hunting trips as much as he enjoyed performing on the stage with Buffalo Bill.

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.
