The Outer Banks of North Carolina has a great and diverse collection of history and nature, from pirates to pilots, first colonies to first flights, tall dunes to taller lighthouses. The amount of historical events is impressive for such a tiny ribbon of sand. Even more impressive are the many hidden tales and legends that exist throughout the Outer Banks, events that may be unknown to both local and visitor alike. Chapters include tales of abandoned ghost towns, homes built and rebuilt from nothing, a witch's cursed tree, bridges where no car travels, UFOs, bloody pirate tales, statues that traveled thousands of miles, lesser known monuments and the strange details they hold, and all the other wonderful bits of the strange and wonderful that makes up the Outer Banks.
