This Is North Carolina’s Best Haunted House To Visit

Nothing says Halloween like a visit to a haunted house. We’re not talking about the annual roadside attractions with actors, fake blood and paid zombies popping out of dark corners, but the kinds of places steeped in lore of inexplicable sightings and ghostly apparitions.

If you’re in for a real scare and not just an attraction, a list from The Daily Meal has the best haunted house in North Carolina to visit.

“Current or former homes with a ghostly presence take on an especially eerie vibe, given they often come with tragic and personal tales of suicide, murder, or heartbreak,” The Daily Meal writes. “So we sought out real houses that are actually haunted for the ultimate scare.”

The Daily Meal consulted its past coverage and looked up reviews on Yelp and TripAdvisor to come up with its list.

In North Carolina, The Daily Meal deemed the Biltmore Estate in Asheville as the best haunted house to visit. Per The Daily Meal, visitors have reported hearing a woman’s voice in the library stairs. (See more via The Daily Meal here.)

Here’s what they had to say:

“America’s biggest house is a bucket list destination that’s both beautiful as well as quite a bit haunted. George Washington Vanderbilt II, the original owner of the estate, is said to still haunt his old home, and many say they can hear his wife’s voice speaking to him in the library, as she often did after his death. Also allegedly heard are mysterious voices, splashes, and laughter, at the swimming pool when there’s no one there, and a ghostly, headless cat has been seen roaming around at night as well.”
