Event Details
One of the most haunted locations in Wilmington, North Carolina is also the most decorated battleship from World War II. Earning 15 battle stars for her courageous actions in the Pacific Theater of Operations, the USS North Carolina saved thousands upon thousands of lives. This battleship that now commemorates the veterans and 11,000 North Carolinians that lost their lives in World War II, is a hotbed of paranormal activity that has drawn attention from investigators and enthusiasts from all over the globe!
Commissioned in 1941, the USS North Carolina was a formidable seafaring weapon that required 144 officers and 2195 military men to keep her operating at top speed. Even though she took part in every major naval offense in the Pacific Theater, she only lost 10 men in action and saw 67 wounded. One of the most infamous attacks that left casualties was a Japanese torpedo strike in the battleship’s hull. Five men died during the attack, but the expertise of her crew allowed her to keep up with the fleet. Many believe the spirit of the young soldier that has been seen in the battleship’s washroom is one of the men who died in the torpedo attack.
