The Most Haunted Restaurants In North Carolina and South Carolina

Author Catherine Lane

It is so lovely to go out to eat, maybe for a romantic night out for two.  Perhaps it is a special occasion and you want a nice meal and a little alone time.  Well, if you go to these restaurants, you may just have a visitor at your table you really didn’t ask for.

The Food Network did a lot of research and found the most haunted restaurants in each state.  This time of year, you may even seek it out and you don’t have to pay extra for it.  Ironically the most haunted restaurants in North Carolina and South Carolina can be found on the coast.

In South Carolina, the study found that The Brentwood Restaurant and Wine Bistro is where you will find some extra company.  It is located in Little River, not too far North from Myrtle Beach.  Patrons have spotted two figures they can’t explain over the years, including the Shadow figure and a Civil War soldier.

In North Carolina, keep heading north up the coast to Southport, NC.  There you will find the Live Oak on Howe.  It is described as a turn of the century home and the young girl that used to live there hundreds of years ago still roams the halls.  To learn more check out the survey from the Food Network right here.

  • 2. Tunnel of Terror

    This is a double hitter for me. I love getting my car cleaned and I love Halloween. If you do too, the Aquawave Express Carwash hosts the Tunnel of Terror. Located at 6415 West Wilkinson Blvd, Belmont, every Thursday through Sunday until Halloween you can drive your car through and get some boos too. Tunnel of Terror is open from 6:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. It costs $22 per car.

    Charlotte is home to the Historic Rosedale. My friend Jess and I did this once. It was pretty cool. From 8-10 pm for only $25 you can go ghost hunting with some professionals. You will team up with the Charlotte Area Paranormal Society for a good old ghost hunt. You will explore the Historic Rosedale home and the property. I brought my own spirit box years ago when we went.
