“Haunted Kernersville”

“Haunted Kernersville”

“Too good to leave.” That’s how Kernersville Museum Executive Director and Author Kelly McGuire Hargett concluded the introduction to her newly published book, “Haunted Kernersville,” which she co-authored with Scott Icenhower.
Hargett said writing a book is something she has always wanted to do, recalling having told her mom her goal many years ago.
Hargett said she got the idea for the book from the Haunted Walking Tours the Kernersville Museum started as a fundraiser.
“We came up with the idea for the tours from Molly Smith, from the Chamber (of Commerce). She was on a ghost tour and called me and encouraged me to start one in downtown Kernersville. Then, I called Scott Icenhower and asked for his help,” she said.
While the town wasn’t incorporated until 1921, there had been people living in Kernersville when early Native Americans roamed the untouched land; therefore, there are stories in the book dating back past the time of incorporation.
“The stories in the book date back to the 1800s,” Hargett said, adding that each ghost story features a location in downtown Kernersville with a history about the location.
“Most of the ghost stories Scott got. He just went around and started talking to people, while I did the history of each of the places,” she said. “He did about 70 percent of the ghost stories.”
Hargett said she, herself, has experienced some paranormal activity as well, and had a paranormal group that came to the Morris House last year that saw and heard some paranormal activity.
Hargett said photographs in the book are from the Kernersville Museum’s historical archives. The book was published by Arcadia’s History Press.
Hargett began writing the book in the beginning of 2020, which she dedicated to her father, John William McGuire.
“I dedicated it to my dad because he made me fall in love with history, and because I regret not getting up and doing his eulogy during his funeral. It was just too soon,” she said.
