What are the Chances your New Home in Charlotte Will Be Haunted?

If you are in the market for a new home in Charlotte, chances are it won’t be haunted (phew). But, it’s good to know that the city is no stranger to spooks! With Halloween right around the corner you can bet there are plenty of haunted places to get your fright on.

For $10 a ticket you can take a tour of the Historic Rosedale Plantation on Friday, October 29th. You’ll start your tour under the Swamp Chestnut near the area where the slave quarters stood then explore while hearing stories of those who have experienced strange and unexplained incidents at the plantation. Many have lived, worked died there…will you bump into any of them during the one and a half hour tour? And, if that isn’t scary enough for you, challenge yourself to midnight at the plantation for $85. During the late hours of the night listen to tales of supernatural happenings and perhaps experience them firsthand yourself… The Plantation has been there since 1815 so it has a lot of history to draw upon…By-the-way, new homes in Charlotte lack the history and there’s a good chance they aren’t haunted!

Speaking of Charlotte new homes, there are many master planned communities in the area that come with nice neighborhood amenities such as community pools, parks and clubhouses. If you are searching for a new place to call home, Charlotte has much to offer – no matter your taste. For new master planned communities in the area visit www.SheaHomes.com.
