Hiding beneath the Outback is the basement, which to the naked eye may seem uninhabited, but according to some locals and travelers alike, this is not necessarily true. The history of the American Building is benign, but the history of the land itself is tragic and ominous.

The historic 1820s Cook House in Clemmons, NC has provided the perfect opportunity to test and validate proven methods of paranormal investigative techniques. The two-story brick structure in the Greek Revival style sat on 123 acres and was a working farm. Bricks are laid in common bond, and the house features exterior-end chimneys and a hipped roof. A boxed cornice and sawn work frieze accent the roof line, and a transom and sidelights surround the front door. The walls in the house are three bricks thick.

The building features a wide front facade accommodating two storefronts, four large wood-framed windows on the second floor and surmounted by a simple brick parapet.

The cemetery was proposed as an alternative burial ground for community citizens who were not Moravians, since the existing cemetery: God’s Acre was designated for those of the Moravian faith.
 

Situated on West Bay Street is one of the oldest buildings in Savannah and one which many consider to be the most haunted building in Savannah. Moon River Brewing Company is located in the former City Hotel. Elazer Early, a native of Charleston, S.C, built the City Hotel in 1821. Not only was it the first hotel in Savannah, but it was also home to the first branch of the United States Post Office in Savannah, as well as a branch of the Bank of the United States.

In 1680, as the city of Charleston was being laid out, a four-acre square of land was set aside at this location for public use. In time a hospital, poor house, workhouse for runaway slaves, and this jail were built on the square. When the Jail was constructed in 1802 it consisted of four stories, topped with a two-story octagonal tower. Charleston architects Barbot & Seyle were responsible for 1855 alterations to the building, including a rear octagonal wing, expansions to the main building and the Romanesque Revival details.
