Abstract:
Ghost stories and strange events abound in North Carolina. Harne recounts the story of a couple and their six-year old daughter who were sailing from California to Denmark when their vessel was disabled in rough seas off Ocracoke. The Coast Guard could not come because of the weather but maintained radio contact. Shortly thereafter a freighter appeared and the Captain told the boat's occupants he would remain during the night. Before the Coast Guard arrived in the morning, the freighter departed. The couple later learned that the Coast Guard could hear only their side of the conversation and could not pick up the ship on their radar. They also learned that the ship, the SS Potomac had gone down with all crewmen the year before.
