Did you know that Charlotte has the most graveyards per capita in the country? If it's true that the dead still walk among us, it will be here.
Known as a city of contrasts, Charlotte's haunted history seems at odds with its modern vibe and focus on speed and business. Yet, a closer look at the Queen City will reveal shades of a ghostly past lying just beneath the royal veneer. Passionate stories of loss, conflict, and death make certain locations in Charlotte a magnet for the spirits that haunt their grounds, repeating their actions or trying in vain to finish whatever business they have left here.
"I really enjoyed this tour! Not only were the stories creepy and fun, but we also got great suggestions of other things to do here during our trip."
Based on meticulous research and hair-raising local legends, our Charlotte Ghost Tour is unlike any other in the area. You will hear horror-filled stories as our guides take you for a chilling exploreation of the creepiest areas of the Queen City. From a haunted hotel with a prank-playing ghost to creepy burial grounds where the interred don't rest, you will become acquainted with the lesser-known stories of Charlotte's dark past.
Our tour will take you through an eerie mile of locations full of tales of paranormal encounters, including:
Our masterful storytellers will share spine-tingling tales of Charlotte's hauntings, history, and legends that may explain why spirits still roam some parts of Uptown.
