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.

Wait, so why do the girls wait at the door if they died in the car with the driver? Why would the ghost get split up. I believe this story, but something is definitely odd.
