Gimghoul Castle in Chapel Hill is rumored to be haunted by the ghost of a student named Peter Dromgoole, who, according to a popular legend, died on the castle grounds in a duel over a woman in 1833. Though Peter Dromgoole was a real student, the legend surrounding his fate is believed to be fictional. The story, which originated in the late 19th century and inspired the name of the secret society that built the castle, goes as follows: Peter Dromgoole, a student at the University of North Carolina, fell in love with a local woman named Miss Fanny. A romantic rival challenged Dromgoole to a pistol duel for Miss Fanny's affection. Dromgoole lost the duel and was killed. His body was buried in a shallow grave and covered by a large rock, now known as "Dromgoole Rock". The rock is permanently stained with his blood. Miss Fanny, heartbroken, returned to the spot each day and eventually died of a broken heart. Visitors to the area claim the ghost of Peter Dromgoole haunts the grounds. The red-stained "Dromgoole Rock" in front of the castle adds to the creepy folklore. The castle is owned and used by the Order of Gimghoul, an invitation-only secret society at UNC. This has led to rumors of other, more mysterious activities happening on the property.
