Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina, on the Outer Banks, is a dream, but what lurks in the shadows may be a nightmare if you come face to face with one of the forever residents who decided to stay.
According to Peggy Schmidt in her book Ghosts of the Outer Banks, the Avalon section, on the west side of the 158 Bypass, is no stranger to the paranormal. Schmidt says a ghostly lady has been seen in one of the cottages.
One morning, a man woke to make a pot of coffee when he encountered a young woman standing in the living room. He was curious why she was in the house and demanded an answer. As he moved closer, the woman was dressed in clothing that was not from this period. He asked again, “Why was she there?”
The man at first thought she had gone into the wrong cottage, but as he got closer to her, she vanished into thin air.
It’s enough to drive your soul to the brink of insanity.
