As a young boy growing up in the mountains, there was nothing like seeing the first signs of autumn spreading over the land like a silent fire. The turning of the leaves meant cooler days, early sunsets, and the coming of Halloween.
To this day, there is nothing like seeing a thin fog, glowing in the moonlight, creeping among the gnarled trees while sitting around a campfire and telling ghost stories. Being in the south, there was never a shortage of eerie tales to fill the night air and haunt the imagination. From disembodied voices to headless apparitions, we always begged for more.
Hendersonville, North Carolina, at first glance, is the typical, quiet, mountain town. On the outskirts of the city, farms stretch out toward the horizon and picturesque woodlands. It is the quintessential small town. But, like all small towns, there are secrets hiding in the shadows.
The apparitions are gathering and the disembodied voices are ready to be heard.
Welcome, my friends, to Haunted Hendersonville. My name is Charlie Morgan and I am an author. For the past four years, I've been writing stories about ghosts, monsters, and the darkest side of human nature. Those stories were, for the most part, inspired by my hometown and the spooky tales that rose from those flickering campfire gatherings. But those stories were just that... stories. While some of them contained certain elements of borrowed truth, they were nothing more than fiction. Here, on this site, is where the fiction ends and the horrors of reality begin.
I've always wanted to tell the true accounts of the nightmares that lurked through those flowing fields and of the things that hunt in the woodlands. You will find them here.
Haunted Hendersonville is my forthcoming nonfiction book. Here you will find exclusive encounters, pictures, news articles and video that will help you dig deeper into the heart of a small town's dark depths. This is your behind-the-scenes look, a companion piece... this is Haunted Hendersonville!
