ABANDONED TOWN: An entire abandoned town sits just an hour north of Raleigh. Called Soul City, it was built in 1969 with great dreams during the Civil Rights era. By 1979, it was foreclosed. Today, all the municipal buildings — parks, hospitals, a retirement facility, a dentist office, and even a fire station with vintage fire trucks still inside—are still standing, deteriorating as the years pass. Old wooden street signs have fallen from their poles, rotting on the ground. The old Soul City sign stands like a sentinel over the historic house from the 1700’s, and streets lined with retro street lights lead to cul-de-sacs where no houses were ever built. Here are some photos our historian and guide snapped while visiting Soul City. If you enjoy ghost towns and eerie history, check out our newest Haunted History tour! We will visit Raleigh’s cemeteries, abandoned mansions, and eerie pieces of urban legends. Tickets and info ——> https://www.greatraleightrolley.com/paranormal-expedition
