NC's Korner's Folly house declared haunted
The News & Record of Greensboro reported Thursday that the Southern Paranormal and Anomaly Research Society declared that the 19th century home known as Korner's (pronounced Kerner's) Folly is haunted.
The group held a news conference Wednesday, saying its investigators made recordings that revealed several disembodied voices and some mysterious specks of light.
Investigator Deonna Kelli Sayed says there are plenty of ways to debunk the evidence if you don't believe in ghosts. But she says there's really no other explanation for the evidence the group found.
The Web site for the house says it has 22 rooms spread over three floors and seven levels, with ceiling heights ranging from 6 feet to 25 feet.
Police charge butcher after NC store shooting
Police have charged a grocery store butcher in North Carolina with murder after a man who dated his ex-girlfriend was shot and killed in the store.
Multiple media outlets reported Thursday the shooting occurred between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. at a Piggly Wiggly supermarket in Laurinburg, about 100 miles south of Raleigh near the South Carolina border.
The suspect's name hasn't been released.
Detective Chris Young says three customers and 10 employees were in the store when the shooting occurred. No one else was hurt.
Young says the victim was shot several times after a confrontation and staggered to the front of the store where he collapsed near a checkout counter.

Daily Horoscope
Farmers know that fields have to lie fallow or nothing planted in them will bloom.
The same principle applies to your life.
If you've been working far too many hours, it's time to find a way to relax truly so that you, too, can grow during the appropriate season.
So don't fret too much if you're feeling a little low energy.
Get more sleep.
Eat nourishing foods, and you'll bounce back more vigorous than ever.
You mean sleep isn't a four-lettered word?!
