The historic Whalehead Club, located at 1100 Club Road in Corolla, is a 21,000-square-foot mansion overlooking the Currituck Sound. Edward and Marie Knight originally constructed it as a hunting retreat in 1925. Over the years, the premises have been used for various purposes, including a Coast Guard shelter and a correctional school, among others. The building was restored in the 90s to its original condition, and some believe Edward Knight and others never left.
Visitors have reportedly claimed to smell cigar smoke near the portrait of Knight, who was well-known for his taste in cigars. Other spirits have also been reported inside, especially in the basement area.
People have reported pots and pans banging in an empty kitchen and doors slamming shut.
