ASHEBORO -- From the vampire beast of Bladenboro to the Hunter on Purgatory Mountain, author and podcaster Dan Sellers will scare up some “Carolina Haints” at the Archdale and Asheboro libraries in September.
Sellers will share North Carolina ghost stories and folk tales at the Archdale Public Library, 6 p.m. Tuesday, September 22, and at the Asheboro Public Library, 6:30 p.m. Thursday, September 24.
Sellers is founder of Carolina Haints, a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and promoting folklore storytelling through the Carolinas, where people have gathered for generations to share porch stories, pass down traditions and remember what others have forgotten.
Carolina Haints brings those stories to life through research, storytelling, books, podcasts and public programs. Sellers hosted the Carolina Haints podcast for seven seasons, and is co-author of the book Carolina Haints: Ghosts, Folklore, and Mysteries of the Old North State.
A High Point resident, he also has penned Haunted High Point and the upcoming Folk: A Collection of Curious Lore from the Carolinas.
