Mike's Paranormal Blog: Oakdale

Disclaimer

I love paranormal and scary stuff. I've been to many "haunted" locations, and despite a feeling of uneasiness, seeing a few things out of the corner of my eyes, and getting the heebie jeebies from feeling like I was being watched, I have yet to see any hard evidence of paranormal activity.

I'm a believing Christian, but I respect people's First Amendment Right to any religion they choose.

I created this Blog to document my further research and adventures.

My focus is on local North Carolina Sites that are said to be haunted, but if I visit other places I'll try to make it a point to post here as well.

Oakdale Mill and Ghosts of Workers Past

While visiting Jamestown yesterday to look at sites, I decided that no trip to explore paranormal activity in Jamestown would be complete without a visit to Oakdale Village, which is located just outside of Jamestown on Oakdale Rd.

Oakdale is a Cotton/Textile village located right next to the Oakdale Mill on the Deep River.

Open in 1865 just at the end of the Civil War the Village was built to house the workers for the mill.
Here's the gatehouse, the one way in and the one way out of the village.
A historical marker is at the entrance to the village.

Haunted Jamestown

While Lydia's Bridge might be the famous of Jamestown's Haunted Places there's plenty of other places to explore as well. I'm going to put Oakdale on it's own blog entry since even though it's in Jamestown it's actually a little village all to itself. So after visiting Lydia's Bridge yesterday I decided to return and visit a few place in Jamestown and Oakdale.
