Outer Banks Mysteries Tales to Remember has seventeen stories and is Whedbee's fourth volume in a series of books that firmly establishes him as one of the state's most famous contemporary raconteurs.

There are tales of Indians and trappers, ghosts and fire birds, sea horses and sand dollars, romance and heartache. Some of the stories tell of eerie and frightening events. Some chronicle the history of the coast and its early inhabitants. Others tease us with the promise of love and happiness, only to end in tragedy and despair. Still others explain the strange habits and appearances of local flora and fauna in ways far more intriguing than the scientists do.

Some Outer Bankers accept many of theses stories as gospel. Others tell them for the sheer joy of it. But as Whedbee says: "Whether you believe any or all of them, a tale should be, like beauty, its own excuse for being." So here you will find neither fact nor fiction but a spicy assortment of entertainments that will be enjoyed for generations to come.
