For those who like mysterious things, there’s the New Haw Lock area with its frightening and breathtaking keeper’s cottage. There is talk that the long shapeless mist that still can be seen in the kitchen of the New Haw Lock keeper’s cottage is a ghost of a keeper’s wife who drowned nearby years ago. Believe or not, that’s what people say.
