Cemeteries can feel eerie in the daylight. But after sunset, when the gates close, the shadows lengthen, and the voices of the living begin to fade… imagine walking among those who never left.
This Halloween season, ADULT spirit and adventure seekers are invited
to experience Charlotte’s most unsettling night of historical storytelling.
As night settles over Elmwood Cemetery, hear chilling accounts of murders, mayhem, tragic or horrific accidents ending one’s life too soon. Through the voices of the men and women who now lie beneath its ancient grounds, our costumed storytellers bring these haunting true stories to life, drawing audiences deeper into Charlotte’s darkest past. For one unforgettable night, the dead return.
Adding to your thirst to connect with the spirits of Elmwood, the Charlotte Area Paranormal Society will be on-site with its ghost-hunting high-teck gadgets. This hands-on experience may help you to contact a restless soul eager to talk with you. Their equipment will be listening. The question is, will anyone answer?
Walking slowly through the shadows, following the flicker of a lantern's light, you never know who or what might be waiting for you in the dark
