A good scare is a must-have in October. I mean, can you really call it the month of terror if you don’t experience some fear?
Haunted houses and trails are back. If you have the courage to enter, there are a bunch of frightening places you can enjoy. Here are 13 haunted houses and trails you can visit in North Carolina.

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.
