THIS IS NOT A STOP, I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS INTERESTING:

On the surface Pink Hill, North Carolina seems like your ordinary town, but this is a town where the undead walk the streets during the moonlight hours. The undeparted are here in this town as the residents will reveal. Folks who have never spent a night in this town will laugh and say it's a pack of lies, but Pink Hill is filled with struggling spirits just waiting to frighten you.
