What's really Haunted in Raleigh is the Beltline, 440 & 540 .,, try to make through there on a Friday without getting in a car wreck..you better put on a helmet & have on a searbelt....
You sir are sooooo right I hate 440& 540
THE ACCURACY. 440 commute traffic is the stuff nightmares are made of 🤣
Straight facts 🤣🤣🤣
I was living/working in education in Raleigh 4 several yrs, but moved back to New York in 2016. Not a day goes by without me thinking of Raleigh and how I miss it. I suspect both beltlines have become a nightmare due to increased population and cars. What is needed is a light rail, like subway in Atlanta (above ground) that goes north/south; east/ west along say Capital Blvd to Wake Forest and New Bern ave through Knightdale, Wendell, Zebulon. Another towards Cary, Apex, Holy Springs; a branch towards Garner, Fuguay& along the I-40 corridor towards I-85. I was there in Raleigh again in 2018 and the city is developing so rapidly that traffic will soon be worst than the Perimeter in Atlanta. I a planning to move back to Raleigh 4 good to enjoy the lakes, ponds, parks, rivers and wide open spaces. I love Raleigh and can't wait to return permanently.
How in the hell do you get up enough speed at that time to have a wreck is wtf I want to know. Last time I took one of those God forsaken pos stretches of hwy it was like the parking lot at the fairgrounds. Unless it's late at night I take old main hwys and back roads.
One of my best friends is buried at Oakwood (towards the very back corner of the cementary). Last time I went, was the last. I felt the need to speak out loud to my friend (apprently a no no), I was alone, it was a sunny day when I arrived.
Perhaps the neighbor spirits were feeling disturbed because out of no where it got dark in that corner. Wind was blowing, and suddenly a fowl smell crossed by my nose. I felt uneasy and like I was being told to go.
As I got in my car there was a huge gust in the opposite direction that slammed my car door the minute I sat in.
Perhaps alone I will not go again, but I have to return to see my friend.
I Actually live in North Carolina, That's Why I'm Here 😁
Same here.
Same
Me too, Raleigh at that.
Same, Raleigh native for 22 years.
I'm just here to point out the inaccuracies 🙃🤷🏻♀️
Same here Trying to Leave
I currently live in Raleigh nc didn’t know about a few of these.
Same!
I live in rolesville nc
Got locked in oakmont last holloween and I ride by that church all the time alone. If you really want scary go to the tunnels on the greenway past dorthea dix park and saunders street alone. People where murdered in broad daylight there. No ghost story needed
can you drop a specific address?
You telling me Roy Cooper lives in a haunted house that's pretty sick
I love this comment so much! I live in Raleigh and pass by the mansion on occasion. Not surprised though. That whole street has haunted houses. The pink/black house right across the street is my favorite.
He does not live there, he has a suite up the street that the state sadly also pays for
Yeah that’s why he’s possessed
I was born in Raleigh, and still live here. While I've heard of ghosts in the State Capitol and Governor's mansion, Never seen or experienced any ghosts. Literally went to State College for four years day and night, no experiences either.
If I was that boy who died of fright after thinking I was about to get hit by a train, I'd soooo haunt those frat boys as revenge.
It's only just desert. Thanks (as always) for tuning in, Andrew! Have you been to Raleigh before?
@@FrightNightScares Raleigh is my second home I live 20 25 maybe 30 from Raleigh
Now this is 2 videos I'll have to catch up on when get home from work! Can't wait to watch this one and the Los Angeles one! THANK YOU!
Hey as always, THANK YOU, Gymnast Momma!! Have you been to Raleigh before? Let us know what you think when you're off!!
State is definitely haunted. However I found the whole area around Dorothea Dix complex felt more so. I’ve also been to Mordecai house, and that place is very active. Growing up, my friends and I would go to Oakwood cemetery. We didn’t go in out of respect and set hours but walked around the perimeter. I’ve seen the statue and can honestly say I felt it following/tracking me. It’s a very common experience and very, very creepy. Great job with the video and thanks for covering Raleigh!
Hey thank you so much, Sydney! It's great to hear all of that from a true local! So we take it we did the city justice? Any other good ones we should throw on the board for future Raleigh uploads?
That area is definitely creepy af
The Speakeasy you did amazing! Im still loving all the vids :)
I live in North Carolina and I'm surprised so many places I know is haunted
Cameron Village and the apartments there are also pretty haunted. It has a very sinister past.
The abandoned hotel on capital blv raleigh nc
That's a damn eyesore, sitting right there off 440. I can't stand it!
What’s the address? Wanna check it out if it’s still there
@@awakensoul33 it’s still there right beside National pawn shop on capital just drive down and you will see it
I don't understand how noone has taken down that building. It's been there for the longest time being vandalized.
@@16libbyful it's haunted like mofo. I have couple friends that went there 3 years ago and at night. And they heard noises and ppl walking
I am actually excited that they made a video on the oak city! I live there and its intriguing to know about the haunted places :)
Excited to see another video so soon!! And will definitely have to say the first time I've heard of haunting in Raleigh! Great video!👏🏻👏🏻🥰🥰
The first time we visited Raleigh was back in 2004! It's a fascinating place with a TON of history and hauntings tucked around every corner. Have you ever visited, Janna?
@@FrightNightScaresthat's awesome!! No I've never been.. only heard of it in a country song!! Wagon wheel by Darius Rucker! But definitely a place I'd love to go!
I love this channel keep up the great work I've been a subscriber for years now and I'm from nc born n raised thank you for doing this video lots of history in nc
I believe that old orphanage was a little south of the new existing cathedral. We used to go there at night.
i’m surprised that the mordecai house in raleigh wasn’t mentioned cause i’m
almost certain it is “haunted”
Currently in Raleigh myself. Thanks for covering the Oak City. Crybaby Lane is always a good topic!
Thank YOU for tuning in for it! Have you been? Any good personal stories/encounters at any of these haunts?
The Speakeasy Ive been. I didn’t have an experience but it feels so awful. There were also stories about the orphanages across from Broughton High school. It is SO awesome you did my home city (I don’t live there anymore but grew up there.)
I should not be watching at night, also living in raleigh
I stay 10mins from Raleigh I just started uploading paranormal investigations and been trying to find more places in this area so glad you made this video 👍
Need a ghost hunt friend ? I’m in knightdale
@@quinnanthony you know any good spots
@@RyZe_DaBoyz nah I’ve heard there was a little activity out this way (mostly cryptids) …I just got here from LA 1 year ago tho
@@quinnanthony oh OK it's definitely hard to find anything out here
@@RyZe_DaBoyz well let me know if u do I’m down to roll my email is quinnanthonymusic@gmail.com
I live in Raleigh. It's got some pretty cool spots to check out. We just investigated "Crybaby Lane" and the Dorothea Dix/Spring Hill Plantation. We caught some interesting stuff! We smelled smoke, saw shadow people, orbs galore. On past visits, we heard children's toys in the middle of the field... creepy.
I can vouch for the library inside the state capitol. I got that same feeling soon after I walked in and got outta there.
Moved to Durham weeks ago; I work in Raleigh and this video just happened to come up randomly lmao.
Another spooktacular job speakeasy ,way to go.
Thank you very much, Kirsten! Have you been to Raleigh or any of it's haunts?
@@FrightNightScares the holy name of jesus cathedral it was project my friend and i were working on we heard the stories about it so we wanted to see if the stories were true and they proving true but that was 3 years ago
That's very cool! How did they prove to be true? What did you experience?
@@FrightNightScares we knew the cathderal was a orphanage at some point and there was a fire we caught a evp of a child scream saying help us we're burning and i felt like something was holding my arms and pushed me playfully there were child size handprints on my arms and my back and there was this feeling of burning like being in a fire.
Oh wow! Those are pretty extreme encounters! Are you, by any chance, sensitive to these things?
Thank you Justin time for lunch this is how I will spend my lunch break❤
That sounds like an awesome lunch :-D Thanks for tuning in, Alex!! Let us know (when you're done) which of these haunts you think sounds spookiest!
Awesome job as usual. So Oakwood Cemetery doesn't admit its haunted, but allows people to ghost hunt? That's interesting. Sounds like a place you will definitely get some evidence.
That's what local legend claims at least. Thanks as always, Warren! Have you been to Raleigh before?
@@FrightNightScares That's pretty cool of them. That tells me they know its haunted. And I have not been. After watching this video though I may have to change that. Seems like a fun paranormal trip.
@@FrightNightScares my grandpa is buried out there.
I really enjoyed this episode
I live here in raleigh. The orphanage and the church are literally 2 mins from each other. Also right in between those two is an old mental asylum/morgue, which im surprised he didn't mention. Ik people who work there now as an office building and say that they here and see things when they're there by themselves
You failed to mention Ye Old Rex Hospital at 700 Wade Ave. The elevators like to run themselves.
Thank you 🙏🏾 I will never apply!
Living in Raleigh for 20 years just now learning about this like
👁️👄👁️
I lived 2 blocks away from oakwood cemetery earlier this year, always thought the place was pretty creepy!
Great video! I need to visit Raleigh!Peace and roses,Deb the TN Scary Lady
Thanks as always, Deb!!! It's absolutely amazing!! We visited for the first time in 2004.
Hey brother keep the videos coming peace ✌
Great to know, never knew any of this, lived in NC all my life.
If you are investigating paranormal activity . Look into the basement and generator room in Caldwell hall . You hear screams and fell a burning sensation after a little bit of entering
I feel like every class of mine was in Caldwell lol
When my friends got married in a court in downtown Raleigh they rewatched the video recording and all they could hear throughout most of the video sounded like monster/demon noise with like echos. I watched the video and the recording looked fine we just couldn't hear them saying their vows.
Check out the Ebenizer Church Road Ghost. My sister, her son and husband saw this ghost one Christmas Eve. Scared them half to death.
We'll definitely add it to the board! Thanks for tuning in, Julia! Any other hot tips for us?
@@FrightNightScares Heritage Square Historic in Fayetteville NC. I was pushed and pinched on the stairs of the Sandford House while trying to decorate for Christmas. A workman renovating the Baker-Haigh-Nimocks house was under the house and the HVAC levitated. He ran out and walked off the job. The workmen report hearing footsteps upstairs while they are all downstairs working. All of this has been since November 2020. Heritagesquarefay.com 225 Dick St Fayetteville NC.
I actually live in Raleigh North Carolina off of Capital and 440.
Have ghost hunted at Oakwood a few times. Incredible place.
I 'm here now and I am creeped tf out. I spent a day a day in Raleigh North Carolina next to a forest. I am a truck driver was dropping off a load.. As I sat in my truck waiting
I would post pics
DH Hill library at NC State is definitely haunted. And there are some apartments at Graduate Lane that are also haunted.
I lived on oakwood and no lie one night my dog broke out and I was looking for him I turned my car around in the grave yard and I seen a guy and a girl he had on a black suit and she had on a dress they both had no shoes on ... I'm not sure because it was other kids from the school walking around also but they wasn't dressed up like the two people I seen and the next few days I didn't see them two no more and I'm getting chills written this
Grew up in NC. Not familiar with much of it. I'm old and when mom was alive she visited dad's grave. I believe she said the wind was blowing or something and she felt unwelcome. Seems the wind going wild is some kind of indicator if the phenomena is real.
We investigated the Oakwood Cemetery. I uploaded the video here on CZcams. I do believe its very haunted. I love the place and its very beautiful. Check out our the video if you want too. Thanks for the upload and it was awesome. There were a few i didn't know about.
That's very awesome, The Paranormal Side! Did you guys catch anything significant? Have you been to any of these other haunts?
My Brother and his family live Raleigh love take my Nephews and Niece to these places
I live in Wake Forest NC.. so I was curious.
Thanks for tuning in, Angelina! Any good ones around Wake Forest?
Wow.. I didn't know NC state was haunted! I drive by there daily.

Same! I work near Cameron Village
Wow NCSU is soo haunted
According to local legend... yes, quite. BUT, as we always say, what you choose to believe in is up to you. Have you visited any of these haunts, Travis?
The Speakeasy sadly I’ve never actually been to NC but I would luv to go there in the future
I use to work there 3rd shift and it is a creepy feel around campus. Never liked going anywhere alone.
I lived in Raleigh all my life I shot a short film there called The girl next door shot it for its location really old and haunting
Gov. Daniel Fowle is buried in the Oakwood Cemetery, so he is related to 2 of the places mentioned here
Central prison is definitely haunted.sheez!
Thanks for the input and for tuning in! Have you been to any of these other haunts?
Raleigh 📍
My house wasn't haunted till I moved in.
Strange the effect of the 1800's with selective prejudices of nestle/morongo sovereign nation exempt from consequences of breaking law's against humanity.
thank you lived down there in the 80s
We visited on a colonies vacation back in 2004!! It's an amazing place! Have you been to any of these locations, Larry?
I live in Raleigh... Interesting
I'm scared now lol
Oakwood Cemetery is creepy. 👻
I literally typed in a PlayStation code on the search bar n this the 1st vid to pop up WTF CZcams
Do Richmond va please
We've had more than a few requests for Richmond, we will DEFINITELY get to it in due time! Any spots (in particular) you'd like to see us hit when we do?
There’s the Hollywood cemetery, the Byrd theater, the tuckahoe plantation just to name a few!
@@FrightNightScares don’t forget the Jefferson hotel! Steve Harvey even jokes about it😬
I live one hour from Raleigh and I work in T.H.Blue the Mulch plant so if you like to visit me and invite me to visit them houses we both can explore them inside
I live in NC
do charlotte nc
He we definitely will! We have heard some pretty crazy tales surrounding the hauntings there. Any spots in particular you'd like to see us cover for that vid?
Yes I live here in Charlotte and would love to know it’s haunted history!!
I live right by the cemetery
That's awesome! Have you experienced anything out of the norm?
@@FrightNightScares every halloween we are always on oakwood ave, they always have a big scene gathering, I live right down from the dog park that's next to the cemetery, on Halloween night I don't know if it's spirits that we hear or people shouting. U hear running, screaming, see strange lights. It's very spooky walking down the back side of the cemetery on brookside dr. I never walk that way alone. Which I have a friend that walks through the cemetery nightly taking a short cut to work. I just don't have the nerve. Lol. But all this is very true facts. I can show you personally.
If ghost are real a Cemertery would be the place.
hell nah to the nah nah
He triiiiiied.
I moved from Bronx, ny to Raleigh, nc I can deal with a few ghost lol
And that marching and chanting probably was the Clan..they dress like ghost ya know...
So I made a paper Ouija board and I’m here to see if any spirts would be around me
There's no such thing as ghosts. It's a load of baloney.
