In the woods of Piney Pro
spect looms a great English
castle complete with tower
and battlements. It is Gimg
houl Castle, home of the sec
ret society, Order of the Gim
ghouls. The history of the cas
tle is confused in mystery and
tinged with violence.

The castle's myth is based
on the alleged murder of Pet
er Dromgoole, a young Vir
ginian enrolled in the Univer
sity in 1831. According to le
gend he was reckless and un
steady. One day after an ar
gument with a professor he
disappeared, never to be
heard of again. Legend says
he was killed in a duel and is
buried under a rock at Piney
Prospect.
One version of the legend,
taken from John Harden's
The Devil's Tramping Gr
ound, says Peter fell in love
with a girl named Fanny.
They would meet among the
trees of Piney Prospect as
many couples did. Another
suitor appeared, but Fanny
remained true to Peter. The
rejected suitor, extremely
jealous, challenged Peter to a
duel.
They met in the woods at
Piney Prospct. Peter was
killed and friends buried him
under a rounded rock near
the .ccene. Fanny, knowing no
thing of the event, waited in
vain at their regular meeting
place. She continued to visit
there until she grew old and
died of a broken heart.
Another version says that
Fanny heard of the duel and
rushed to stop it. She arrived
just as Peter fell dead. She
poon followed him and was
buried al?o beneath the rock.
Thre is a large red-streaked
boulder near the entrance of
the costle which is said to be
Peter's marker, still tainted
with his blood. Geologists say
the rut color is due to make
up of the rock.
Another version says that
the quick - tempered Dran
eoole challenged one of his
professors to a duel after an
arguement and was killed.
Dr. Kemp Battle in his book,
History of the Universitv of
North Carolina, believes Peter
was ashamed to go home and
wnt we?t, where he was later
killed in a brawl.
Bruce Cotton, authority on
Dromgoole geneology, reports
Peter was seen in Wilmington
in 1833 and probably enlisted
in the army under another
name. The two sources of the
legend, though, are a friend
of Peter's, present at the duel,
who broke his oath of sec-

heard the argument and
challenge made between the
two lovers.
Regardless of what did
occur, the facts are that Peter
did attend the University and
vanished mysteriously in the
1830's.

projects.
The original home of the
lodge, but plans for the castle
were drawn by N. C. Curtis,
architect and alumnus of the
, Conctruction was began
m i 1925 and completed in 1926
The ca?tle was built by Wald
csian masons of native stone,
imitative of the design ued
by the Anglo-Saxons up until
the 11th century. The win
dows and doors are of wrou-gh-iron
grillwork. It's first
name was Hippol Castle.
The Castle consists of a huge
hall with rough Ftone walls, a
stair tower, and larger 3 story
tower which includes a recep
tion room, upper-tower room,
chapter room for Order meet
ings and deck. At the side is a
long terrace, and doors lead
from the Great Hall to a pi
azza. In the main hall are wheel
like chandeliers of wrought
iron, and suspended from the
walls are several animal
heads. At the back is a mez
zanine modeled after the min
stras' gallery of Anglo-Saxon
times.
Near the castle is a semi
circular rock seat erected in
honor of former UNC presi
dent Dr. Kemp Battle. It is
made from a rock pile started
by Dr. Battle on walks in
Piney Prospect. He requested
every person walking up the
hill to add a rock to the pile,
and r. large cairn soon deve
loped. The seat was erected
about the Fame time as the
castle.
The Dromgoole legend may
or may not be true, but what
ever the case, the castle
guards the mystery in the
forest.

Pic. Ricardo Cabrera recently wrote the Chamber of
Commerce a "thank you" note for maps and travel bro

"I'm sorry I hadn't written sooner to thank you all,
but we've been kind of busy," he apologized in his
letter.
He said he had shown the Rio Grande Valley, Tex.,
travel literature to his buddies and told them what a great
place the Valley was.
He suggested they come to the Valley "if they ever
decided to go somewhere for a vacation."
