Lily's Lore and Legends

  Ghosts of Fort Fisher - Robert Harrill AKA The Hermit of Fort Fisher Robert Harrill is one of my favorite local legends. A real man who decided to run off to the dunes of Fort Fisher and live out his days as a "hermit." But as far as hermits go, it seems he was pretty popular with folks in the area.  Whether or not you believe his spirit haunts his old bunker hideout, if you met Robert before his passing in 1972, I would love to hear your story! Please click here to send me your experiences with him.  (If you have encountered his ghost or other entities haunting Fort Fisher, I would love to hear those as well, please use the same link to submit those!) I am looking primarily for first-hand experiences, but in the case of meeting Robert Harrill while he was still alive, I understand that many who met him back then have already rejoined him. With full respect, I would simply like to learn more about this local legend and how he lived. Submit your experiences here:  https://fo

I usually stay away from the really popular legends, but I don't know much of anything about this one. If you have any personal experiences and would like me to include them, please send them to me! You know the Lily will never try to debunk your personal experiences because I know you would never lie to me. Big shoutout to my buddy Kurt for this suggestion! After we leave Illinois, it's time to move on to Michigan! Sault Ste. Marie is a border town on the water and is rich in ghosty lore (in fact, I have a piece of #PocketLore dropping Friday about it). I'm not sure how many stories we will hi
