Kings Mountain National Military Park is a beautiful place, but through the years, it has earned quite a reputation for being haunted. The park is located in Blacksburg, South Carolina, near the state line between North Carolina and South Carolina. British officer Ferguson is said to still haunt the grounds by his cairn, along with others. Visitors to the park have reported seeing ghostly figures, phantom drumbeats, and hearing the sounds associated with battle.
According to an article on August 20, 2022, by the Southern Spirit Guide, “Some years ago, two reenactors were camping on the battlefield and in the evening went to visit Ferguson’s cairn. Both men deposited rocks on the grave. As they began to walk away, both had a sense that someone was standing nearby. They turned expecting a park ranger, though instead they saw a form that resembled the British Major. The figure spoke in a thick Scottish brogue saying, “It doesn’t always work, my lads,” and let out a hearty laugh.”
“A moment later in front of the frightened witnesses, he faded into the darkened forest.”
