This episode of All Things Judicial continues the Judicial Branch's award-winning "Fright Court" YouTube series which questions whether some of North Carolina's courthouses are haunted.
This episode begins by exploring the murder and subsequent hauntings associated with the 1901 death of Elizebeth City resident, Nell Cropsey. State Archivist Sarah Koonts walks us through the original Supreme Court of North Carolina case files related to the trial of Cropsey's accused murderer Jim Wilcox, who is believed to be the only defendant to appear twice before the high court.
In this episode's second segment, a "paranormal investigation team" conducts a ghost hunt in the historic Cumberland County courthouse and seeks to answer the question as to whether North Carolina's courthouses are haunted. A video of the investigation is posted on the NCcourts YouTube channel.
