Four Oaks, North Carolina, was home to the last major Confederate offensive against General Sherman and the Federal army. The three-day Battle of Bentonville is the largest in North Carolina history, and some believe the grounds may also be one of the most haunted.
Visitors to the property have experienced the sounds and smells of war, including shouts, gun and cannon fire, and even the scent of burning flesh.
The Harper House, situated on the battlefield, once served as a hospital for both the Union and Confederate armies. You may have guessed it, but it is also rumored to be haunted. People have reportedly seen apparitions in the home’s windows and walking the surrounding grounds.
