True Ghost Stories

The Ghosts Of Caroleen Bridge 

There are ghost stories of hauntings all over North Carolina. One of the most famous is the story of the two sisters who were coming back from a trip to South Carolina in 1943. They lived on the other side of the river bridge going towards the town of Caroleen when there came up a horrible thunderstorm. A truck ran the sisters off the road and their car fliped over and over ending up in the river. Both of the elderly ladies were killed in the accident. And it was not long until people began to tell a strange paranormal story. It is told that when their is a thunderstorm going on after dark people have picked up the ghosts of the two sisters walking on the road before you get to the Caroleen River Bridge. They get into peoples cars and say thank you and tell where they live on the other side of the bridge but they vanish when the car is driven across the Broad River bridge.

And over the years many people have told of picking up the two elderly ladies. Some people have reported that when you cross the bridge they vanish and there are two wet spots on the car seats. Ghost Hunters from around the United States have visited the site and some have even recorded a evp near the bridge that is said to be that of a old lady saying " Please Help Us" So apparently the two ladies who wrecked there are trapped there forever in a residual haunting that seems like it will go on forever.

The Night Watch Men on the ship over the years say that 3-4 nights out of the year for some reason the activity is the highest. On those nights ghosts just simply put on a show.
