(Part 5) Haunted Courthouses of North Carolina - Burke County
Witnesses say that the Historic Burke County Courthouse is haunted. At least two legends are thought to be the cause of this ghostly activity. On October 21, 1851, Burke County legislator William Waightstill Avery murdered Samuel Fleming of Yancey County over a long standing feud and estate dispute. Fleming's ghost is said to haunt the halls of the courthouse. In 1833, Frankie Silver was hanged on the courthouse grounds for the murder and dismemberment of her husband. Her story has been written about in several books and folk songs. Witnesses say that her ghost can be seen walking the courthouse grounds and sobbing. The apparition will disappear if approached. Are these legends true? You be the judge.

Burke County NC Police chiefs PSA Tells citizens to comply to police even if it violates your rights
Burke County Police Chiefs are sending a terrible message to its Citizens. Comply and Complain Later ..This type of message is not only unlawful but extremely damaging to its citizens and to its local community. Notice that in doing this PSA there are NO Women/Black/Latino/Asian demographic, this is odd considering the fact that morganton NC ( biggest patroled part of Burke County ) is about half women and about half other than white. The Local police of caldwell, catawba, burke harrass people daily, speed trap more than anywhere I have ever lived in the US all in an effort to force violations out of citizens to make the police departments budgets increase every year. THIS HAS TO STOP. This rhetoric of Comply now Complain Later is a direct violation of your right to free speech and rights an American citizen. Please share this and expose this locally corrupt and violating police force. Our rights should not hinder on our local police ability to carry out their duty as a public servant accurately and peacefully. #policethepolice #letusbefree #stopburkecounty
