Terry Rollins is a professional storyteller who specializes in North Carolina folktales, ghost stories, pirate legends, and Native American lore. He offers a one-man show, "Nevermore: the life and writings of Edgar Allan Poe". Mr. Rollins also leads the Historic Washington Ghost Walk.
I hope my friends and fans in the western part of North Carolina will join me for an evening of storytelling with the Catawba County Historical Society, Saturday, May 11th. I'll be joined by fellow tellers Trish Dumser, Cynthia Brown and Sylvia Payne. For more information: http://www.catawbahistory.org/Tall_Tales_Under_Mill_Moon.php

The 2013 season of the Historic Washington Ghost Walk kicked-off this weekend with good attendance. Once or twice a month, I have the privilege of leading folks on a 90-minute walking tour through three centuries of history and supernatural activity in Washington, North Carolina -- the first place in America named for George Washington. One of the stops on our ghost walk is the magnificent Bragaw house, circa 1870. It was built by Samuel Potts and is one of the finest examples of Neoclassical architecture in eastern NC. Mister Potts liked his house so much, he simply refuses to leave it. Join us on the ghost walk and find out why he's still hanging around after all these years!

I am a storyteller, bard, children's librarian, and ghost walk guide. I live in a 110-year old house just outside of Washington, North Carolina -- the first place in America named for George Washington. It's just up the road from our state's oldest town, Bath. Arr! I live in the land of pirates! These quotes sum me up pretty well: "My fathers knew of wind and tide and my blood is maritime" -- Stan Rogers *** and *** "I wonder if one of the most important steps along our journey is the one in which we throw away the map" -- Loreena McKennitt
