Carolina Haunts: Legends & Lore from the Old North State
Episode 1 – The Ghost Light of Maco Station (Brunswick County)
In the foggy pine forests of Brunswick County, North Carolina, a mysterious light has been seen swinging through the darkness for more than a century. Locals call it The Maco Light — the ghostly lantern of a railroad brakeman named Joe Baldwin, who lost his life in a tragic train accident in the 1800s.
Some say it’s a trick of the light. Others swear it’s the spirit of Joe himself, still signaling danger long after the trains stopped running.
Join host Dawn Mac as she takes you deep into the eerie legend of The Ghost Light of Maco Station — a haunting piece of North Carolina folklore that continues to fascinate and frighten to this day.
