Whether we like it or not, we have some incredibly haunted places in North Carolina. From hotels to campgrounds, cemeteries and more, you don’t have to go far if it’s a paranormal experience you seek. And one that you won’t want to miss is coming up in a couple of months aboard the Battleship USS North Carolina in Wilmington.

Join the team for a night and go below deck in the darkness in search of shadows and more. It's said that many daytime visitors aboard the battleship have reported some creepy paranormal happenings, like hearing groans from a crew that no longer exists.
