  Ghosts of Fort Fisher - Robert Harrill AKA The Hermit of Fort Fisher Robert Harrill is one of my favorite local legends.

He is not of sound mind and has a peculiar affliction which may have caused his death. He is subject to uncontrollable fits of laughter, and if his attention is not directed in some other channel by friends he may have laughed himself to death, his nervous system having become exhausted. He has been known to laugh for an hour or two at a time before the fit could be broken up. Several searching parties ha...
