I went to King's Mountain for my American Military History class. After walking around for awhile it clicked in my head we should try and see about a hunt relatively close to where a battle has taken place. Since Eik is down in SC I'm sure there are plenty of spots we could check out down there.
Oh, an lemme know what's going on for Halloween. My e-mail is charodt@yesiknow.net Pibb has the cell if you want/need it.

I'm up for it anytime, just let me know a date and i'll see if I can come down for the weekend I've looked into it and it's going to be kind of hard to get onto property where the actual battle took place. However, I was talking to Ken on the way back from Greenville about Siler City and the Devil's Stomping Ground or whatever the hell it's called. One of my roommates knows the dude that owns the property where the circle that's supposed to be super haunted is located so if you would want to do that just lemme know and I'll see what I can work out. I should be free for awhile come Winter Break and maybe we could do it as soon as Thanksgiving.

Here's what I've been looking into concerning King's Mountain. If anyone has any further information on it let me know.
Kings Mountain - Kings Mountain State Park - Numerous reports of "ghostly" men upon horseback riding through the historic battleground section of the park. Personal investigation has found knocking on the doors of the public restroom; two human-shaped apparitions in Camp York portion of the state park.
Kings Mountain - Oak Grove - during the time of the revolutionary war a tavern was located at a crossroads' now the intersection of Oak Grove and Stoney Point roads, the legend is that a British soldier carrying stolen plans was in route to warn the British as he stopped at the tavern for a rest he was identified as a Brit and killed by the inn keeper, and on moonlit nights you can see him at the crossroads, he always looks confused, as you try to approach he disappears.

There is a camping area at Kings Mt. and from there you can hike up to where the battlegrounds are. From my understanding though, there were battles fought all over the mountain and troops camped everywhere. It's only 30 min from me so I'll take a ride up tomorrow if the weather is nice and see what I can find out for sure.
