Day 2

Virginia - Blackbeard’s Point - The fierce Blackbeard is said to haunt the area where his head was placed on a pike.
Today we had time to go to the local library to research the area and the stories of Edward Teach a.k.a Blackbeard. Researching the legends of this man was really fascinating. He was ultimately killed in combat by 25 slashes and 4 gunshots. He was decapitated and his head displayed in the Chesapeake Bay as a trophy/warning. We were able to find out the exact location and Dave somehow got directions. And so we set off!
This is ended up being a disappointing story of development destroying a good haunting ground. The bay was filled with expensive homes, packed in developments like a trailer park. Long story short- we drove and drove and found not the slightest sign of Blackbeard’s Point. We did come across the bay where the Monitor and the Merrimack battled, which was cool. Eventually we gave up. So much for Blackbeard’s Ghost.
We contemplated stopping mid-way to a site haunted by slave ghosts, but decided we wouldn’t have enough time. I also started wearing Castor full-time. 1: It’s occasionally convenient to wear a knife. 2: This is the main reason. It makes me feel more like I’m on an adventure.
