Richmond Haunts long-form
Haunted Outer Banks: Currituck, Roanoke Island and Ocracoke
Episode notes
About this episode
| North Carolina’s Outer Banks combine maritime danger, shifting shorelines, colonial history and generations of local storytelling. This episode travels from Corolla to Ocracoke for lighthouse lore, island legends and reports of spirits that remain close to the coast.
The route begins at Currituck Beach Lighthouse, then turns to the Lost Colony and the legend of the White Doe. On Roanoke Island it visits the Roanoke Island Inn and the Pioneer Theater before continuing south to Bodie Island Lighthouse and Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. The final stories involve Hammock House, the Cora Tree and the spirits of Ocracoke. The episode keeps the documented histories of these sites separate from folklore while showing how isolation, shipwreck, disappearance and community memory have given the Outer Banks one of America’s richest supernatural traditions. |
