The Cape Fear Coast, with Wilmington, Pleasure Island, Southport, Fort Fisher, all the way to Oak Island, has a wealth of history in its borders. The beaches and coastlines call out to people for fun and relaxation, while Wilmington offers a big city richness of diversity and culture. But every place has some dark shadows that hide the ghosts and haunts from the past. The Cape Fear Coast has more than its share of scary legends and entertaining shivering tales. Wilmington is host to many haunted houses, as well as shops and stores where ghosts walk, or float, with unconcerned indifference to how the living see them. In Haunting The Cape Fear Coast, you can read about the jealous ghost of Ellen Bellamy who throws a temper tantrum when all the fun starts in her house. Discover how a kindly concerned spirit named William helped a pool hall great set a record. Learn of the gifts, good and bad, left for residents of Emma Baldwin's old Wilmington home, and how the Price-Gause House is haunted by the ghosts of the city's traumatic past. Wilmington is not alone in its haunts. Ghosts abound on the outer islands and towns. Fort Fisher is haunted by its bloody past, while Southport is home to a more content spirit who plays music for his unsuspecting fans. And down in Oak Island, the ghost of Dunbar Davis is merely trying to find a little peace and quiet after a life of service, while headless demons suffer through an endless chase for their captive Theodosia Burr who was lost long ago on the shores of Bald Head Island. So when the day cools and the sun sets along the shimmering Atlantic Ocean, be on the lookout for these ghosts and more to come out of the shadows and have their time to frolic or scream.
