Hundreds of travelers pass through the rest stop off I-95 north in Rocky Mount everyday but they might be surprised to learn about its interesting past.

According to rest stop employee Eric Bowers, “Sometimes at night doors open by themselves and there's nobody at the door so it's kind of spooky."

Bowes told us the rest stop is haunted, that’s because he says two people have died there. Bowers says one person hung himself in a tree in a wooded area next to the rest stop and another person died after having a heart attack. Authorities did not confirm that information with us.

Bowers says over the past 5 years he too has had a few run ins with the unknown.

"I was standing and gazing out the window and a lady came in and I was just standing there and she was in there for about 15 minutes. I didn't see her come out so I went in there to look and she was gone."

Even with possible ghosts and goblins creeping around where he works Bowers says he loves his job and plans on working there for a long time to come.
