The legend of Peter Dromgoole and Fannie is a popular story at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Dromgoole was a student at the University who supposedly died in a dual in 1832. It's said that his body was buried under a stone known as Dromgoole Rock, located at a spot near campus known as Piney Point, near the ominous Gimgoul Castle.
