The Experiences You've Heard About
Visit the Most Haunted Places in Charlotte
Charlotte has been front and center in American history, from the War of Independence to the Civil War. The highs of a gold rush and the great depression’s lows all left their spiritual traces on this city of the New South. Queen City Ghosts takes you through its cursed timeline and introduces you to the dark underbelly of Charlotte, where you’ll visit haunted locations such as the Tyron House Apartments, known for its weeping walls and mysterious banging.
Uncover the ghostly singers of the McGlohon Theatre and the spirits that haunt the grounds where the Battle of Charlotte occurred. Nearly every inch of the Queen City harbors a dark piece of the city’s gruesome past, and you’ll discover it all tonight on a Charlotte ghost tour with Queen City Ghosts.
Tyron House Apartments
Something so horrific occurred here that the name of the building had to be changed. Hear the gruesome details that claimed lives and created ghosts that live on today, terrorizing the current residents. It’s said that some residents have been so affected by the unexplained energy in the building that they’ve sought psychiatric help.
McNinch House
This classic Victorian-era Queen Anne house, with shingles on the second story and clapboards on the first, a wrap-around veranda and bay windows, is a restaurant today. The second floor hosts the last remaining member of the McNinch dynasty, who can be seen in the front window above the diners entering below to taste Southern cuisine with a modern twist.
McGlohon Theatre
This fantastic theater is named after Jazz Pianist, composer, and star of the radio show “American Popular Song,” Loonis McGlohon. The theater is incredibly atmospheric, with stained windows on both sides of the auditorium. It also holds ghosts from its former life as a church; hymns are heard when no one is around. Ghosts of the stage also put in regular unscheduled performances.
