Ghosts of the North Carolina Shores
Take a spooky journey through the shore towns of North Carolina. Find ordinary men and women who've witnessed ghosts. Meet a dead Confederate sentry who has not left his post. In Weldon, waltz with a ghostly lady ... until she disappears. Witness a battle at Bentonville that appeared to be a re-enactment--it wasn't. From the Chowan River to beaches of the Outer Banks, the ghosts of the North Carolina shores never rest.

About the author
Micheal Rivers
7 books228 followersBESTSELLING SUPERNATURAL THRILLER AUTHOR
I write under my real name Micheal Baugham and use the pen name of Micheal Rivers for my fiction and non-fictional tales of the paranormal. My Cherokee heritage brings me to the spiritual nature of the world around us. Thirty years of experience investigating the paranormal has brought me to the conclusion that there is another world we do not fully understand. I weave many of the experiences into each of my supernatural stories.
Travel Channel asked me to appear as a guest on Mysteries of the Outdoors, Season 2 that originally aired in July 2017.
I'm currently working on a series detailing the lives of people involved with the side of government few have the privilege to witness. First Strike, the first in the series was released in 2018 and written under my real name, Micheal Baugham.
https://www.amazon.com/First-Strike-D...
Authors that have influenced my writing are Edgar Allen Poe, Alexandre Dumas, Henry David Thoreau, W. K. Mashburn, Jr. and Don Pendleton.
My life has been well spent growing up on the inner banks of North Carolina with extensive travel. I am the lead investigator for the Smokey Mountain Ghost Trackers. The passions in my life are my wife, family, Boxer Delilah affectionately known as DeeDee, and the great outdoors. I am a USMC veteran and served during Vietnam.

What others are saying about Micheal's books:
"...Like Gilman, Hodgson, and Lovecraft, the richness of dialog is not lacking in Rivers's prose...Rivers does not so much stand upon the shoulders of these giants as he rubs elbows with them."
- Amy K. Marshall, Staff Reviewer, Dark River Press
"...well written, completely engrossing..." - Michael Juvinall, Horror Society
"...I couldn't put the story aside..." - Mallory Heart Reviews
"...I loved this tale of undying love and dedicated friendship ... " - Tracy Riva

If you love history, old ghost tales, appreciate knowing more about areas you drive through while on vacation, or simply want to relax by the fireplace with a good read then “Ghosts of the North Carolina Shores” is a MUST HAVE for your literary collection.
North Carolina is a beautiful state, rich with history and wonderful people. I viewed this book as being someone’s personal tour guide as they drove through the state, relating unknown ghostly lore about the communities you may travel through.
The book immediately appealed to me on so many levels that I have difficulty limiting my review to a short passage. The civil war history was intriguing. The tales of ghostly spirits was well balanced in depth and length, leaving me with a want to know more. And throughout the book, I continually learned tidbits of Americana that were previously unknown to me.
As an author I found Mr. River’s writing style carried me smoothly from one short story to the next. I thoroughly enjoyed “Ghosts of the North Carolina Shores” from first page to last and willingly give it top ratings and recommendation.
