GITM - Ep #17 - Blackbeard’s Ghost and the Hauntings of Coastal NC

In this episode of Ghosts in the Mountains, we journey to the windswept shores and shifting sands of North Carolina’s Outer Banks, where the restless spirit of the most infamous pirate of all time, Blackbeard, is said to still stalk the waves. From the eerie glow of “Teach’s Light” near Ocracoke to whispered sightings of his headless apparition wandering the shore, the legend of Blackbeard lives on. But are these just ghost stories—or is something even stranger lurking off the coast? Strange lights, unexplained sounds, and accounts of unidentified submerged objects have left both locals and visitors wondering if the Outer Banks hold darker mysteries beneath their waters. Join us as we explore the pirate lore, chilling encounters, and the unsettling possibility that Blackbeard’s ghost may not be the only entity haunting the seas of North Carolina.
