Wake Wednesday: So Many Mysteries at the High House - Buried Treasure, Missing Cemetery and a Ghost!

Thanks to Heather Leah at WRAL for bringing this spooky story from Cary to our attention. 

Her story recounts the legend of High House (as in High House Road in Cary) and the buried treasure of Fanning Jones. it is a great read.

As I read this riveting story, near the end of it I was directed to another article written for the Friends of Page-Walker Hotel in Cary. This one is equally interesting and a bit broader in scope. It is fascinating if you live in Wake County. Even more so if you have Jones, Alford, Liles, Williams and other associated Cary area families in your tree. Grab a coffee or hot tea and check it out.
