This episode takes you deep into the wilds and waters of North Carolina, where folklore and fear go hand in hand.We kick things off in the murky lowlands of Scape Ore Swamp, home to one of the strangest cryptid encounters on record. Known as the Lizard Man, this creature first terrorized the small town of Bishopville in the late 1980s. With glowing red eyes, scaly skin, and a towering frame, witnesses described something straight out of a nightmare. But some say this wasn't a one-time visitor. Could the Scape Ore Swamp Monster be part of something bigger—another link in North Carolina's long history of Bigfoot sightings?From there, we head into the dense forests and remote backroads, where encounters with Bigfoot have spanned generations. Hunters, hikers, and locals tell stories of hulking, hair-covered figures crossing highways in the dead of night, of eerie howls that send shivers down your spine, and of something massive lurking just beyond the tree line. These aren't just isolated incidents—they're part of a pattern stretching across the state, from the Uwharrie National Forest to the Blue Ridge Mountains.But the mysteries don't stop in the woods. Off the coast, the Outer Banks are known as the Graveyard of the Atlantic, where more than 2,000 ships have met their end. Some of them, according to legend, never left. We explore the chilling stories of North Carolina's ghost ships, like the Carroll A. Deering, found run aground in 1921 with its entire crew vanished. And then there's the Flaming Ship of Ocracoke, a phantom vessel said to appear in flames before vanishing into thin air.Then come the booms. Along these same shores, locals have heard thunderous explosions for centuries—sounds that rattle homes, shake the ground, and leave no physical trace. They call them the Seneca Guns. Are they earthquakes? Underwater landslides? Something stranger? No one knows. But the booms keep coming.And just when you think it can't get any stranger, we dig into North Carolina's werewolf legends. From the colonial era to the present day, there are stories of shapeshifters, half-human beasts, and howls that don't belong to any known predator. Whether they're European legends brought over by settlers or something older and native to these lands, the werewolves of North Carolina still haunt the edges of local lore.From swamp monsters and Sasquatch to ghost ships, phantom booms, and werewolves—this is North Carolina like you've never heard it before.If you're loving these stories, here's what to do next:Follow and subscribe to the show.Turn on auto-downloads so you never miss an episode.Leave a rating and review—it helps more people find us, and we appreciate it.Most importantly, tell your friends, family, and co-workers.

In this episode of Chaotic Compass, I open up about the chaos and craziness of the past six months. I reflect on family life, work, and the personal moments that have kept me away from the podcast. Here's a breakdown of everything I cover:Episode Highlights:1. Where Have I Been?I start by catching up with you all and explaining the long gap between episodes. Life's been a bit wild lately with work, family, and managing two businesses. My husband, Ryan, and I run a fishing charter and a mobile marine repair service. On top of that, I work as a business analyst for a construction company. And, of course, I've been juggling the activities of four kids, from theater rehearsals to soccer games and everything in between.2. Summer Adventures and Family LifeI dive into our family's summer activities, including:Vacation in Ocracoke, NC: One of our favorite family getaways.Concerts: Took Kylie to see Laufey (a Scandinavian artist) and Conan Gray, which turned into some fun mother-daughter bonding.Boating: A spontaneous day of bar-hopping with Ryan that was so much fun.Sunrise on the Boat: I talk about how I asked Ryan to get up at the crack of dawn to watch the sunrise on the boat — definitely a peaceful moment that I'll never forget.3. Business and Life ChaosWith two businesses to manage, kids to shuffle around to their activities, and a full-time job, things have been nonstop. Honestly, Ryan and I often feel like unpaid Uber drivers, just trying to get the kids where they need to be.4. Personal Milestones and AnniversariesI celebrate five years of marriage to Ryan (though it was a very quiet celebration with no social media posts). We also hit a big milestone of nine years together — the longest relationship of my life, which is a bit wild to think about!5. Fun Nights and Local SpotsI share some of our fun date nights, including:Music Bingo at Sly Clyde Ciderworks: Ryan and I totally dominated a few rounds of bingo.Local Hangouts: Our favorite spots like the Yorktown Pub, our neighbor's pub, and others that serve cheap drinks and have great vibes.6. Birthday ChaosBoth Kylie and Liam celebrated their birthdays in September, and I recount the chaotic birthday bash we threw for them. There was a lot of drama, mostly from the 12-year-old boys, but it was a memorable night filled with good music, food, and laughs.7. Adulting MomentsI share a funny (and slightly embarrassing) adulting moment: finally paying off my overdue library fines from 2020! I had a stack of books just collecting dust and now, after years, I'm officially an adult with an up-to-date library card!8. Getting Older & Health UpdatesI reflect on the first gray hair I found while on vacation in Ocracoke (it totally shocked me) and I talk about my recent knee surgery. After years of dealing with a torn meniscus, I finally had surgery, and I'm still in the recovery process. It's been a bit of a journey, but I'm getting there!9. A Summer Full of Work & StressI admit that this summer was tough. There were a lot of moments where I felt completely overwhelmed and like I was just about to lose it. But I pushed through, and now I'm trying to figure out how to find better balance between work, family, and podcasting.10. Looking Forward to the FutureI wrap things up by sharing my desire to get back into a more regular podcasting schedule. With the busy holiday season ahead, I know it's going to be tough to balance everything, but I'm determined to keep pushing forward. And I want to remind you that it's okay to have those tough moments and to keep going — even when things feel chaotic.Takeaways from This Episode:Life is chaotic, but it's important to find moments of peace.Self-care can be as simple as enjoying the sunrise or a quiet moment.It's okay to take a break, but don't forget to show up for the people who matter in your life.It's normal to feel overwhelmed, but you can always pick yourself back up and keep moving forward.Listener Challenge:Take a moment this week to find your "sunrise moment" — even if it's just a few minutes to slow down and appreciate the little things in life. Whether it's a peaceful walk or just sitting in the quiet, make time for you.Connect with Me:Instagram: @chaoticcompassTikTok: @chaoticcompass (if you can figure out how to find me)YouTube: Chaotic Compass PodcastFacebook: Chaotic Compass Podcast (for the old-school crowd!)The Chaotic Compass podcast was created by me, Stefanie Wainwright.

Title: Languaging in Hampton Roads Episode 10: The Ebb and Flow of Coastal Carolina Languages Hosts: Prue Salasky and Jill Winkowski Date: Oct. 31, 2024 Length: 34.15 min Publication Frequency: Fourth Friday (approx) of each month Co-hosts Prue Salasky and Jill Winkowski delve into the history and language of Hatteras and Ocracoke Islands, part of the Outer Banks, OBX, of North Carolina, our neighbors to the south and part of our geographical culture in Hampton Roads. They interview two experts on the region. Scott Dawson, whose family traces its roots back to the 1600s on Hatteras, has devoted countless hours to researching the language and culture of the Croatoan people and their early encounters with English settlers. An amateur archaeologist and historian, he has identified artifacts and produced word lists of the Carolina Algonquian spoken on Hatteras Island when the first English settlers arrived in the 16th century. (https://www.coastalcarolinaindians.com/category/research-databases/blair-a-rudes-indigenous-language-collection/). He credits the efforts of English scientist and polymath Thomas Harriot (Hariot) working with Croatoans Manteo and Wanchese for much of what's known today about the indigenous residents, their culture and language. We also learn more about Thomas Harriot and his scientific accomplishments, among the greatest of his generation. Dawson is a founder of the Croatoan Archaeological Society (http://www.cashatteras.com) and also opened a museum on Hatteras to tell a different version of the “lost colony” of Roanoke Island (https://www.lostcolonymuseum.com). . Linguistically, sociolinguist Prof. Walt Wolfram, William C. Friday Distinguished University Professor at N.C. State, places the dialects spoken on the Outer Banks islands as part of the Tidewater diaspora. For example, the brogue spoken on Ocracoke, he says, is closer to that of Tangier Island in the Chesapeake Bay than to that of nearby mainland communities. A scholar of language variation, Wolfram contrasts the vibrancy of the distinctive English dialect of the Lumbee in Robeson County with the rapidly declining use of Ocracoke's traditional dialect. He is also the director of the North Carolina Language and Life Project which documents dialects and speech variations. Listeners can find speech samples for the Lumbee, Ocracoke Islanders and many more by searching for The North Carolina Language and Life Project on YouTube. The changes in language use and dialect over 400 years in these coastal communities first tells the story of English settlement and its impact on indigenous communities. Then ongoing changes reveal shifting demographics and how geography intersects with language and identity.

In this episode of "Sleepless in Singapore," I recount the third and potentially final part of a road trip with my friend Marcus along the US East Coast. We begin in Jacksonville, where we miss meeting an old friend but enjoy a Brazilian barbecue at Terra Gaucha. Our journey continues with a hearty breakfast at Cracker Barrel in Kingsland, Georgia, a delightful city tour in Savannah, and a restful night at a golf club in Litchfield Beach. We explore Wilmington and the Outer Banks, taking a ferry from Cedar Island to Ocracoke, marveling at the remote beauty. Reaching Kitty Hawk, we stay in a charming Airbnb and experience local culture, including a memorable evening meeting a NASCAR driver. The trip concludes with a brisket feast in King of Prussia, a visit to Gettysburg National Military Park, and a glimpse into Amish life, before I finally return to Singapore.

History's most notorious pirate, Edward ‘Blackbeard' Teach, was killed and decapitated by lieutenant Robert Maynard, who besieged Blackbeard's boats in Ocracoke on 22nd November, 1718. Now recalled as a fearsome and gratuitous murderer, Blackbeard's demonic character is not documented in contemporary sources. In fact, very little is truly known about Teach (even, indeed, whether that was his real name), apart from the fact he a) had a beard, b) was from Bristol, and c) was very good at pirating. But his formidable reputation of setting his beard on fire and rampaging his way round the high seas was sealed by the swashbuckling tales published after his death. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly reveal how Daniel Defoe may be linked with the Blackbeard cult; rate the pirate's expertise at cultivating psychological warfare; and unearth the story of Stede Bonnet, ‘the worst pirate of all time'...

Real islands don't have bridges. In mid-Spring, Living in Beauty's ongoing search for alone time took us, by free vehicular ferry, to Ocracoke Island where it is still possible to camp in the dunes with a private path to the seashore and walk for hours in solitude on a natural beach. On The Outer Banks (OBX) of North Carolina – where the north-flowing Gulf Stream and south-flowing Labrador currents are constantly shifting the ocean floor around like two kids in a sandbox – shorelines, and even islands appear and disappear over night. There, we found an adventurous place to test our dry-camping mettle and relax into an extravagant two-week island vacation. The post It’s The Real Thing: Ocracoke appeared first on Living In Beauty.

This week on the Carolina Snowflakes Podcast we’re tipping our hats to all things British as we embark on our quest for knighthood. Our understanding of attaining knight-ness is you must first be epic for England and thus appealing to the Queen.We figure there’s no better way to demonstrate our worthiness than by sharing how British history and pop culture has influenced who we are as Snowflakes. Yes we attempt accents and we’re sure you’ll enjoy it.From our adoration of Robin Hood to our love of Mary Poppins and our nerding out over The Canterbury Tales, we salute our neighbors across the pond and hope they’ll give us a wave or a nod or something….knighthood perhaps? Are we doing this right?We also discuss a very special British-Carolina connection with the locals living on Ocracoke Island, North Carolina. Descendants of Blackbeard’s pirates, the residents of Ocracoke still speak a unique dialect called Hoi Toider, which is comprised of old Elizabethan English and pirate slang. The Hoi Toider dialect isn’t found anywhere else in the world and we do our best to share a few words and phrases one might hear when visiting.So grab a spot of tea and tuck into this week’s episode as we hail the Queen and all things British.

On August 8, 2013, Ray McAllister delivered a Banner Lecture entitled "Ocracoke: The Pearl of the Outer Banks." The Outer Banks have enticed Virginians with the lure of sun, sky, and sea for generations. Despite this idyllic appeal, these once-isolated barrier islands have also witnessed a turbulent past. Pirates, hurricanes, shipwrecks, and U-boats all make their appearance in the varied story of the Outer Banks. Ray McAllister, an award-winning former Richmond Times Dispatch columnist, has become the established chronicler of coastal North Carolina with his latest volume on Ocracoke, which follows earlier books on Hatteras Island, Wrightsville Beach, and Topsail Island. The content and opinions expressed in these presentations are solely those of the speaker and not necessarily of the Virginia Museum of History & Culture.
This week's show takes us to the NC Music Hall of Fame in Kannapolis, visits a classic car show in Efland, exlores NoDa in Charlotte, goes fishing along the Pamlico River, and enjoys fresh seafood at Dajio in Ocracoke.
Beaufort County Community College has the largest service area of ALL the 58 community colleges in our state. To drive from Ocracoke at one end of this community, to the campus in Little Washington, is over 4-hours! It's not an easy task to bring education and job training to this region. That's where Rick Sullivan picks up the story.

A Way with Words — language, linguistics, and callers from all over
Time for another linguistic mystery. In what part of the country would you be likely to hear older folks using the following phrases? 'He sure was mommucking his little brother.'And: 'Why, those kids used to play meehonkey every afternoon!' And: 'Ohhhhhhh, I was quamished in the stomach.' Give up? The place you're likely to hear the words mommucking, meehonkey, and quamished is called Ocracoke. It's just off the North Carolina coast -- one of the Outer Banks barrier islands.Settled by the British in the early 1700s, Ocracoke's small, relatively isolated community developed its own distinctive dialect. One of the dialect's most striking features is its pronunciation. In the so-called 'Ocracoke brogue,' the expression 'high tide' sounds more like 'hoi toid.' On the island, you'll also hear some words that you won't find in many other places. Mommuck means to 'harass' or 'bother.' Quamish means 'queasy.' And old-timers on Ocracoke remember playing the island's special version of hide-and-seek. They call it meehonkey. You can hear some audio clips of Outer Banks English here, from the North Carolina State's Language and Linguistics Program.http://www.ncsu.edu/chass/english/linguistics/code/Research%20Sites/ocracoke_audio.htmAnd for a great introduction to the topic, check out Hoi Toide on the Outer Banks, by linguists Walt Wolfram and Natalie Schilling-Estes. http://www.ncsu.edu/chass/english/linguistics/code/Research%20Sites/ocracoke/hoitoidebook.htmAnd here you'll find video of O'cokers, as they call themselves, in conversation.http://www.learnnc.org/lp/pages/4811What regional expressions have caught your ear lately?

Sometimes protecting the economic future means preserving your heritage. A group of more than 30 commercial fishermen found a way to buy the last remaining fish house on Ocracoke Island. A NC Rural Development Grant made it possible. See what this business means to the community and the tourist industry in this remote area
