  • Join us as we visit the quiet ghost towns of North Carolina. See the places where history is still alive, even if the towns aren't. We explore old buildings and tell the stories of these forgotten spots. Watch our journey, learn about North Carolina's past, and see what's left of these once-busy towns.
    From towns with a few hundred inhabitants to once-thriving communities of thousands, we traverse the landscape to discover the remnants of these ghost towns. Uncover the reasons behind their decline, whether due to economic shifts, natural disasters, or changing social dynamics. Immerse yourself in the nostalgia as we unearth the memories of lives lived and stories left untold.
    We shed light on the forgotten chapters of North Carolina's history through vivid storytelling and on-location explorations. Witness the remnants of buildings, old foundations, and artifacts that stand as silent witnesses to the passage of time. Experience the bittersweet mix of fascination and melancholy that accompanies these encounters with the past. Subscribe for more videos on hidden history and lost towns.

    My family came from Cataloochee. The photo of the long white bearded man is John Wesley Hall son of William Hall founder of Halls Top Mtn outside of Del Rio TN. Uncle John's house is gone but the spring house he built with egg size river rocks is still there above the field and water still running through its seal trays to cool your food. Bear county don't leave food in there duhhh no door on it ok!! You should borrow Mack Hannah's book to read he was raised there and was the first NP Ranger in Cataloochee, lots of info no one else wrote of. Only about 3 copies of his book in print and in special library collections one is in Boone NC. The name Cataloochee is Cherokee meaning paradise

    This is the first time I’ve heard someone use the term “kept Store”. 11:20 This actually makes sense for where the term store actually came from. Maybe Store has always been short for keeping storage? 😮

    I live in and area in Randolph County, NC, that was once called Coxboro. Before the revolutionary war, it was the largest settlement in the area with a grist mill, tanery, distilery and multiple stores and homes. There was a covered bridge and another open bridge across the creek just a hundred yards upstreem of where it empties into deep river. It slowly died and disappeared as the town of columbia (now known as Ramseur) grew just a few miles up river. You can still see the roadways, the covered bridge supports and some foundations in the middle of the woods, just feet from present day hwy 22 south.

    Wow. I'm glad your video appeared in my recommendations today. I've recently been walking around some pre-history here with a camera in my town Eden, that Gov Morehead miraculously "built" (with Spray's tiny population in the 1930s) an old stone factory in and suddenly became rich, If you ever get up this way, I'd be glad to show you around. The more I connect-the-dots, the more this riverside location looks like the foundation and remains of a single massive antediluvian community... 'beyond and back'..
