Beaufort

By day, Beaufort is a picturesque historic town on the coast. At night, it turns into a haunted playground. Blackbeard used to live here, and the locals say he often visits Hammock House, his former home. Sign up for a guided ghost walk and listen to chilling tales of murderous pirates while you stroll to Hammock House and a 300-year-old cemetery. Ghost walks are offered year round. The cost is $15 per person.
