TLDR
Completed in 1840, this is one of the best-preserved Greek Revival state capitols in the country. It's where North Carolina's 1861 secession convention voted to join the Confederacy.
The Full Story
Night watchman Newall Jackson reported 15 years of paranormal activity starting in the 1920s: books hitting floors, doors slamming, breaking glass, keys jingling, and the elevator moving by itself. In 1996, a woman working late witnessed five men in 1800s clothing arguing about the Civil War - when she made a noise, all five turned to face her, three with their heads twisted 180 degrees. Governor Zebulon Vance's cigar smoke is still detected, and his shadow haunts his former office. The third-floor library induces cold sweats and sobbing has been recorded.
