Plenty of ghost towns in North Carolina are eerie and terrifying. Well, to be exact, all ghost towns are home to a sort of energy found nowhere else. Decay, loss, energy that once belonged to something that existed here and is now no longer. While some ghost towns are accessed by an easy drive, like Henry River Mill Village, or even Brunswick Town, others are more hidden and – rightly so – more ominous. One such ghost town is tucked deep into the woods and only entered by those brave enough to hike through rarely traveled woods to witness it.
