Abstract:
Pittard reports on unexplained happenings in North Carolina's 165-year-old Capitol building in Raleigh. Workers up on scaffolds in the building have been tapped on the shoulder. Ghostly voices have been captured on tape at 20,000 hertz, well above the normal hearing range of human beings. Visitors feel cold spots. Photographers using infrared film capture images and shapes unseen by the naked eye. Investigators continue to study and analyze the reported occurrences, but to date, the building continues to keep it secrets.

Abstract:
William R. Poole, born in 1796, was a conservationist. His greatest love was for the pine tree, and he reportedly patrolled the land around his Raleigh property even after his death in 1889. Yankees came to his mansion during the Civil War in search of Poole's gold which he had already buried in the woods. After his death, a 75-acre tract of land was named Poole's Woods and conserved until bought by a logging company in the 1920s. As a twist of fate, the trees proved worthless as lumber, the timber having rotted internally.
