img_3493Gold Hill, North Carolina is a small historical town just east of Salisbury.  In the 1800’s it was a thriving gold mining town, then the Civil War broke out and the mining community slowly reverted back to farming.

However, and like I say there is always a ‘however’ in my stories.  There were a lot of untimely and mysterious deaths, let alone the number of men that died in the Civil War.  So this being said, it became almost a ghost town.

We owned a cabin there for sometime and it was not uncommon to see ghostly images, hear unnerving sounds, and see phantoms caught on video or tape.  ,

One of the most haunted places is the old stone power house.  This photo posted clearly shows an image of an old miner sitting on a stool, reading his map, with his shovel at this feet.  After reviewing the photo I went back to take another shot, but this time the image did not show up.

The village is now a tourist attraction and host cute little shops.  It is open most week-ends and special events.  If you want to see ghost or step back in time you might book a stay in Gold Hill.  Our cabin is now called the “Key Kabin” and is a little bed and breakfast owned by David and Tina Barrett.  For more information: www.keykabin.com
