Have you ever walked past the old Fourth Creek Burying Ground and wondered about the shadow of the unknown soldier said to linger there? Or heard the story of the young girl who has reportedly been seen—dripping wet—in the old Vance Hotel?

This fall, step beyond the beauty of Statesville’s historic downtown and into its darker history.

Haunted Statesville Ghost Tours takes you on a walking journey through the stories, legends and unexplained happenings of Statesville’s past. Hear tales of restless spirits, mysterious deaths, strange creatures and haunted places as you explore historic streets and shadowy corners of downtown.

Guided by the Sharpe House Historic Players, the tour brings Statesville’s stories to life through engaging storytelling and a little theatrical flair. Whether you’re a believer, a skeptic, or simply looking for a fun and spooky night out, Haunted Statesville is an unforgettable way to experience downtown after dark.
