Additional Information

Join us for Charlotte’s one and only outdoor golf ghost and crime tour! This around 90-minute tour, managed by the famed 5-star Southern Charm Rides, is known for their insightful historic tours of Charlotte. We do go off the golf cart in some places, offering you the ghost or crime background of several sites including cemeteries.

Our open-air golf carts make it possible for us to span an extensive area including a 77+ acre cemetery established in the 1800s. This allows you to explore more haunted locations, criminal history, and listen to a greater number of spine-tingling tales related to the Fourth Ward, luxury hotels, theatres, and a slew of other places!

We make halts at multiple locations where some have claimed to catch figures on camera while touring, along with pauses at true crime locations.

Discover places where numerous individuals have reported seeing spirits wandering among us. We look forward to welcoming you soon!

Great date night - My wife and I do a ghost tour every time we travel to a new city. We stayed home this Memorial Day weekend and decided to something touristy at home. This ghost tour was fantastic!! We saw parts of uptown Charlotte I’ve never seen before and I’m from here. Mackie was a great driver but everyone who facilitated the tour was wonderful. With 4 golf carts on the road it was very cool to get stories from multiple guides. We are definitely coming back for the regular history tour. We highly recommend Southern Charm Rides!

A Hauntingly Good Time - My husband and I just moved to the area and our haunted/true crime tour guides were very friendly and hauntingly knowledgeable. We rode on Tracy’s golf cart in which she and the other tour guides ensured their guests were comfortable and felt safe while driving us around. We also found out they do historic tours and are interested in booking with them again down the road as we continue to explore the wonderful city of Charlotte!

Awesome experience and proof to take home! - My husband and I went on this tour tonight 4/7/24. We had a really good time. The staff was great, the information was great and it all together was a perfect experience. We did catch some spooky things on camera. To us we see a face above the Rira, we saw several orbs at the Sumpter Cemetery, and we had a picture of the fireman but somehow it disappeared from my phone before I could share it…but not before I showed it to 2 other people on the tour.

Thank you Devil Peyton! - Mom and I had a blast! We love ghost stories, historical tours and all things haunted! This spooky tour was both informative and interesting. We enjoyed learning about the history of Charlotte and more macabre details of the older buildings, neighborhoods and cemeteries! Special thanks to Devil Peyton for the extra photos and info’s along the way! We felt very safe and spooked at the same time. Perfect mother/daughter travel experience.
