Haunted NC Historic Stagville Plantation
Durham
Tales of unexplained phenomena have been told about Historic Stagville for years. Odd occurrences at the site have long been experienced by visitors and staff, especially in the main plantation house where unexplained footsteps and voices are sometimes heard and locks mysteriously turn without any help.
At Horton Grove, the former enslaved housing area of Stagville Plantation located a short distance away, there have been numerous reports of the apparition of a young slave girl wandering around the original housing units and grounds. In the nearby Great Barn, security and fire alarms go off without reason and ghostly sightings of an African-American man inside have been reported. The original structure was built entirely by slave laborers and is always kept locked unless a guided tour is taking place.
