If you missed out on the Wake Haunts series from last year, read about all of local ghosts here ! Get by these spooky locations as soon as you can. The most recent that I have visited is the Andrew Johnson house. Not too spooky on a hot Sunday afternoon in August, but I still wonder... Which window and who is waiting there? source Happy Halloween. Stay ghosty! Access all Wake Haunts posts.

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. https://www.wral.com/buried-treasure-in-cary-the-ghostly-legend-of-the-abandoned-high-house/19933263 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.  https://friendsofpagewalker.wildapricot.org/Cary-Me-Back/9342448 High House in Cary and likely members of the Williams family in the late 1800s.   Read more about hauntings in Wake County here!  Visit the Wake County Genealogical Society  -  ...
