This question won a million pounds for a contestant on WWTBAM in the UK or was for half a million. The guy was a history teacher.

I've been to Ocracoke Island on the Outer Banks of NC many times. Their claim to fame is he lived there when not out "pirating". Lots of souvenirs stating so. Hmm.

Legend has it, Black beard placed burning ropes in his beard to appear more menacing. It also says when he plunged into the sea at his demise his body continued to swim around the ship several times before the sea took him down. Something like that.
