Horses Mysteriously Vanish On The North Carolina Outer Banks
It’s a phenomenon in the eastern part of the state. Horses mysteriously vanish on the North Carolina Outer Banks. Some call them ghost horses and it happens on the northern end of the Outer Banks. For example, there is a wild stallion that the locals named Dash.

According to our source, the Charlotte Observer, Dash seemingly came out of thin air on August 14 and he wasn’t alone. He brought his mom with him that has a name already too. Folks call her Rotor. And they are confirming what has been believed about the wild horses that live on Corolla.
Where Do They Go?
We have been to that part of the Outer Banks. And we stay there primarily to catch a glimpse of the “Bankers”. Meg Puckett of the Corolla Wild Horse Fund wrote in a Facebook post, “There are a handful of horses that we are lucky to see once or twice a year because they live deep in the marsh in places that are difficult (or often impossible) for us to access,” “The horses have about 7,500 acres of land to roam and … it is quite vast once you get away from the oceanfront. Easy for a couple of horses like Rotor and Dash to stay hidden for months at a time!”
Some Horses “Stay Hidden For Years”
The Outer Banks are an amazing place to visit. 5 million people go there on vacation ever year. Some go just to find the wild horses and watch something that is rare to see. Some horses are able to stay hidden for years and years. A herd of about 100 horses roams the beaches of Corolla. And it isn’t know why these ghost horses appear or reappear.
Some experts say the hidden horses come out of the marsh to escape the biting insects. The winds along the beaches help with that. Puckett says, “I’m not really sure why there are some that don’t come out of the marsh and woods very often, when the majority of them do go back and forth pretty regularly”.
