Whenever I visit a historic home, museum or hotel, I always have to ask if there are any ghost stories associated with the building. I'm such a sucker for that kind of thing. I feel like legends and ghost stories personalize history. They allow you to vividly imagine the people and places of another time. Back in school, history class could sometimes induce snores. However, history comes to life when you hear about the people who actually lived it.
Well, the folks at the Whalehead Club in Corolla are conducting a tour that's right up my alley! Over the years, the staff have uncovered so many interesting (and haunting) stories about this historic former residence. Experience the grand rooms and hallways by candlelight as you listen to true tales of the Whalehead Club's previous owners and distinguished guests. Allow the legends and lore of the northern Outer Banks come to life.
