Join us for a stop on your spooky ride through your favorite Hatteras Island museums as we explore myths and tales from the region. Historian Danny Couch will  weave four captivating tales about the haunted past of Hatteras Island from 1 to 1:45 p.m. in our meeting room:

Hannah the yaupon chopper

“Hannah and Mary loved the same boy,

He brought them both promises of joy.

Soon it would be that the young women would clash,

Hannah murdered Mary and dumped her in the Slash.”

Ghostship of Diamond Shoals

Hear the details behind one of the Bermuda triangle’s enduring mysteries, right here at Hatteras.

Fiddler of Cape Woods

For generations Flowers Ridge is said to be haunted. Some folks just laugh but others swear it is so.

Cora Tree at King’s Point

One of the island’s favorite stories is based on a real event.
