LOCATION
Why is Carroll A. Deering said to be haunted?
The five-masted schooner Carroll A. Deering, launched in 1919, was found run hard aground on Diamond Shoals off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, on January 31, 1921, her sails set, meals reportedly still laid out in the galley, and not a single crew member aboard. The lifeboats were gone, but no wreckage or bodies were ever recovered, and the disappearance of Captain Willis Wormell and his ten-man crew became one of the enduring mysteries later folded into Bermuda Triangle lore, alongside theories of piracy, mutiny, or a rogue rum-running scheme gone wrong during Prohibition. A Coast Guard and Justice Department investigation in the 1920s never reached a firm conclusion. Locals along the Outer Banks still call the Deering 'the ghost ship of Diamond Shoals,' and some fishermen in the area reported strange lights near the shoals for years after the wreck was finally dynamited as a hazard to navigation in 1922.
