The Battleship North Carolina Wilmington, NC

The U.S.S. North Carolina posed a huge task for a small team like the Alabama Paranormal Research Team.
Located in the Cape Fear River in Wilmington, North Carolina. The ship itself is enormous weighing in at
36,600 tons (unloaded) 728 feet long and 108 feet wide capable of carrying more then 2,300 men, and an
steam to move her massive body at a maximum speed of 28 knots. Her heavy fire power consisted of 9
16-inch/45 caliber Mark 6 guns, 20 5-inch/38 caliber Mark 12 guns, and combinations of 40 mm and 20 mm
antiaircraft guns, also known as Flack guns. The USS North Carolina was built by the Brooklyn Navy Yard and
launched on June 13, 1940 and commissioned on April 9, 1941. In her time she was considered the most
advanced battleship in the US Navy. Her sister ship the USS Alabama located in Mobile, Alabama.

Aboard the USS North Carolina many stories have been spun of flame headed specters that seem to peer
into your very soul along with pranksters and the voices of the unseen. Danny Bradshaw is the night watchman
aboard the ship and has helped to maintain her for the last 33 years. He has written a book on his encounters
aboard the ship and part of the proceeds for this book goes toward a fund for his niece who has cerebral
palsy. You can purchase a copy of his book threw the battleship North Carolina web site and ship store at:

Investigation of the Battleship North Carolina

Our investigation turned up a lot of evidence and personal experiences. One in particular. Upon set up on the
ship an anonymous member was below setting up our night vision camera's. This member is a respected and
senior member so venturing off into dark places in haunted locations are not unusual for this member. While in
sick bay the investigator entered to set the camera up when they saw what was reported to have been a black
man in a standard white t-shirt and boxer shorts. The investigator continued to set up the camera and thought
Henry." "He doesn't seem to see me but can hear me." Later on after we started to investigate our groups
divided with 2 members stationed at base. The anonymous member who saw the man in sick bay stayed
behind and upon the return of the group we reviewed some of the audio and was shocked to hear the voice of
a man answering one of our Junior investigator CoCo ask "Are you Henry?" and to our surprise a whispering
voice answers "Henry, Henry, Can you hear me?"
Just as our anonymous member reported. As if he didn't see them but could hear there voice. EMF spikes
picked up in random locations in sick bay suggest a moving field exist in the location as well. Odd as it seems
there is no report to my knowledge of anyone having an encounter of this kind on the ship. We are currently in
contact with a few groups in North Carolina to hopefully validate this claim. Does Henry haunt sick bay aboard
the USS North Carolina? And if so why does he stay there? Was he a sailor, solider, or marine? Who knows
but the story of Henry will definitely live with the members of APRT, and that faithful night aboard the USS
North Carolina.

Audio Evidence

Wilmington, NC

Junior investigator CoCo ask "Is your name
Henry?" and a whisper answers "Henry!"

This EVP was also captured in sick bay, as we
sat listening and asking questions we got some
type of response. We're not exactly sure of what it
says but we believe it may either say "thought so"
or "pot smoke"

This EVP was captured in the museum area while
Founder Faith Serafin and Jr. Investigator Jay-Bo
the entities to make themselves known: "Where
you in the Army?" (whisper "No") "What was
that?" (Whisper "was not!")

This one pretty much speaks for itself, I guess
they don't call it "cursing like a sailor for nothing"
Listen as a voice says: "It's F*cking cold down
here" as we exit the bottom of the ship

Video and photo Evidence

This picture was taken in one of the mess halls located on the ship. This is the mess hall location where Mr.
Bradshaw reports to have seen a man with a white flame atop his head standing in the doorway. While there's
is no white flamed ghost the dark shadow does drift atop the picture and blocks out the light reflecting on the
overhead pipes. Paranormal or not, it's odd to say the least. Over 1000 pictures where taken on board the
ship and this is the only one we captured even remotely paranormal. Photo Captured by investigator Michelle
Smith.

This video below shows the random spikes of EMF we picked up in Sick Bay while looking for Henry on board
the USS North Carolina.
