Atop one large foothill here deep in the Carolina woods lies a most unlikely site: a castle, replete with a drawbridge, portcullis — and an underground bunker.
The castle is the handiwork of a family aiming to protect itself from an electromagnetic pulse (EMP), which they think could take out electricity grids. So they’re going medieval, training to use crossbows and building a catapult to defend themselves against marauders that might come in a doomsday scenario.
The family is the subject of a new show on the National Geographic Channel called “Doomsday Castle,” which premiers at 10 p.m. ET on Tuesday, Aug. 13. Family members aren’t disclosing their last name or location for fear of curious and/or hostile fans showing up on their castle step.
