Narrative:
Descending into rdu, talking to rdu approach, they pointed out traffic that was climbing at our 11 O'clock position. This traffic was climbing above our altitude and turning away from us. We were cleared to fly direct to docat, a fix on the ILS runway 23L approach. We were then cleared from 6000 ft to 4000 ft. As we started our descent, we spotted what looked like an aircraft, but nothing was indicated on TCASII. We queried ATC if they had traffic again at about our 11 O'clock position, about our altitude. They indicated that they did not have any traffic near our aircraft. The first officer leveled the aircraft at about 5000 ft and turned right. As we turned we saw a high winged single engine aircraft that had jumpers exiting it. We reported this to ATC. They stated that no one should be there. We cleared the conflict and proceeded direct to docat, with an uneventful landing.
