Real Haunted Houses

Real Haunted House

The Duke’s House

Raleigh, North Carolina

Built in the 1920′s for a wealthy tobacco executive, this house was once the site of extremely lavish parties. People would get very drunk and then drive home. One night in 1927, it is said that a car carrying three young women and their driver ran off the Ashe Bridge, crashing onto the train tracks below. The three women and their driver died instantly-the latter being decapitated. It is said that the three women can still be seen on the “Duke’s” front porch, waiting for him to answer the door. The driver is said to still wander the tracks in search of his head.

I have lived in NC all my life and never ever heard this tale. I happen to be one who is very interested in hauntings and spirits, but I have no memory of this story. Are there any any records to prove this?

Is this true? I too have lived in NC all my life and I’m doing my senior Project on haunted places. I need to document some actual places, but I’m not going to waste gas for a something that doesn’t exist. Please let me know if you’ve ever ACTUALLY seen anything here… catcrazzy87@yahoo.com
Thanks,
Sarah Neville

Anyone interested in the paranormal, I am co founder of a local group in Fayetteville, North Carolina called NAM GHOST HUNTING SOCIETY. My partner and I are looking for some new members willing to go on investigations. We have already partially investigated the Vander Light haunting and are currently working on a new investigation at the Clarion Prince Charles Hotel. We still have to go back to with our equipment to Vander, but we did catch pictures of several orbs and ectoplasm. Our contact info is on our web site. http://www.namghs.com.
Thanks and hope to hear from you soon!!

I lived on Ashe for 25 years. The house is no longer there,it was located where the pullen lofts are now. They tore it down about 20 years ago to build those . I think it’s pretty cool
