Abstract:

About half a mile east of the village of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, on a peak known as Piney Prospect, stands one of the State's unique structures - grim and ghostly Gimghoul Castle. Owned by the Order of Gimghouls, a secret organization at the University of North Carolina, the castle resembles a pre-Norman English castle. Many strange and fantastic tales surround Gimghoul Castle and Piney Prospect, such as the myth of Peter Dromgoole, killed in a duel over a maid.
