Legendary pirate Edward Teach is still as colorful an individual as ever and calls Beaufort, North Carolina home. Blackbeard’s main place of residency is at the Hammock House his former home when he was alive. The house boasts a 300-year-old cemetery in which Teach’s 18-year-old French common-law wife was hung from an oak tree in and is buried.
Blackbeard is actually a very well educated man and most of the legends of how barbaric he was are completely fabricated on his end in order to drive fear into the hearts of his “victims”. However, in the afterlife, he has turned into the person he wanted people to believe he was because of his violent death in which he was shot five times and stabbed more than twenty times before he died and was decapitated.
Teach loves to hang out at the house and sit looking out over what is now Taylor’s creek. However, if you do come across him I suggest you RUN!!!
