Is Drunken Jack's Island haunted?
The record holds 1 claim, 1 legend, 1 named entity — filed as reported, not verified. The heaviest filing is classed documented legend. The archive documents the claim; it takes no position on the ghost.
The record — long form
The island is the left — the '32 casks' that's the rum's count, the 'passed out' that's the sailor's state. The 'two years' is the waited — the 'empty bottles' that's the beach's litter, the 'bones' that's the crew's find. The 'Blackbeard' is the named — the 'no record' that's the visit's proof, the '1600s' that's the story's wrong date.
The 'goats' is the kept — the 'Bubba Love' that's the keeper's name, the 'peacocks' that's the flock's addition. The 'inlet' is the hid — the 'winding channels' that's the pirate's cover, the 'Carolina Gold' that's the cargo's name. The island is the kept — the 'MarshWalk' that's the view's site, the 'restaurant' that's the name's source.
The file keeps the island: the left sailor, the waited years, the named pirate, and the kept goats.
Drunken Jack's is the archive's South Carolina file — the pirate who drank the evidence.
Why this file matters
Drunken Jack's is the archive's South Carolina file — the legend that needs no Blackbeard.
An island keeps its name — the file's suggestion being that the site's hold is the comic: the '32 casks' that's the treasure's form, the 'bones' that's the ending's image, and the 'goats' that's the present's truth.
