Legend tells of a man by the name of Joe Baldwin, whose ghost walked the train tracks where he died in the mid-1800s. But is Joe's story true, and was his name even Joe? StarNews reporter Ben Steelman joins to discuss that and more in this episode of "Cape Fear Unearthed," a StarNews Media-produced podcast that digs into the history books of Southeastern North Carolina.

Cape Fear Unearthed is written, edited and hosted by Hunter Ingram.

Additional editing by Adam Fish.

A StarNews Media Production.
