Abstract:

For an old-fashioned scare, visit the Old Southport Cemetery. The oldest gravesite is dated 1804, but people were buried here earlier than that. The site today is overgrown with moss-covered oak trees and weeds. The Brunswick Inn and its ghost, Antonio Casaletta, offer another scary outing. Antonio was an Italian musician who, when staying at the Brunswick Inn as a member of inn's orchestra, ventured to sea and never returned. Guests have supposedly heard Tony walking through the music parlor, looking for his harp, since his death in 1882.
