I vacationed on the Outer Banks a few weeks ago - a regular family vacation location in August. For my next novel, I wanted the location to be the Outer Banks - that narrow ribbon of sand the extends into the Atlantic Ocean. The location if fabulous, but also fascinating in a haunting kind of way. OBX is prone to storms, is the location to an early English settlement that disappeared without a trace, was frequented by pirates, and is the location for numerous shipwrecks. Sounds like a good place for a psychological horror story.
I am in the process of editing the novel, which involves a young man with depersonalization disorder who is seeing things...
One passage involves a cemetery and I found a picture of one online that was located in Kitty Hawk. I based the description of the cemetery in the passage on this one picture. I wanted, however, to find the place on my own and take a look to see if it met my expectations. When I found the cemetery, I was thrilled. The setting looked exactly as I hoped. Not only is it beautiful, but mysterious in its own right. I am attaching a photo.
