As our traveling friends know, finding America\u2019s little gems is the best reason we do what we do. In Littleton, North Carolina we happened to find several interesting stops. Let\u2019s talk about the first one.<\/p>\n

Littleton is a small town and could have possibly come by its name as a play on words. According to Google: \u201cLittleton is a town in Halifax County, North Carolina, United States which was formerly known as “Little People Town”. The population was 674 at the 2010 census. It is part of the Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina Micropolitan Statistical Area.\u201d Population 674\u2026or is it?<\/p>\n

At the Cryptozoology and Paranormal Museum<\/u><\/span><\/a> there is evidence of a much larger population, though of the stranger kind.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_20170408_152641577_HDR\"<\/a><\/p>\n

First hand sightings of Bigfoot have occurred in the Littleton area, which is largely surrounded by untouched forested wilderness and state parks. Pictures and foot casts taken from around the town can be seen at the museum.<\/p>\n

You can also go on a Bigfoot hunt-outing-camping thing too!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There are all kinds of oddities to view at the museum as well.<\/p>\n

\"cryptopara3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"cryptopara5\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hmm.<\/p>\n

\"cryptopara2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The building that the museum is located in is said to be haunted and as it turns out, so are most homes in the area. According to sensitives, and people who know about energy centers and flows, the enormous aquifer that lies beneath the town is a great energy conductor and spirits are drawn to the area.<\/p>\n

Luckily, the Cryptozoology & Paranormal Museum offers ghost tours<\/u><\/span><\/a>. In their shop, they have a haunted Doll that is said to periodically reposition itself. The box is locked and they are working on getting video setup on her round the clock.<\/p>\n

\"cryptopara4\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the stops on the walking ghost tour is Person\u2019s Ordinary historical site. The lights of the mini-market in the background is where the stagecoach used to stop and change out horses.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We were there in the evening so taking pictures outside didn\u2019t work well, but all around town you can find replicas of the Ordinary<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Despite getting strong readings from the ghost-detecting-gadget-thingies,<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I did not get any pictures of ghosts, orbs, wavy air, or blasts of cold air. Not a sensitive I guess.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

No matter. The house and stories told were educational and VERY interesting.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So if you are ever passing through the Littleton, NC area or even close by, this is worth at least an over night to check out the museum\u2026.if you are into that spooky stuff.<\/p>\n

Next up our wine tasting adventure at the Main Street Market!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
