About This Location

The Ghost Story
The original Latta family has no intention of leaving, despite being dead for over a century. Most activity occurs in the attic where children slam doors, play with toys, and run back and forth - eerily, the third floor lacks actual flooring, making it impossible to attribute these noises to living children. A mirror was found face-down in the center of a room without a single crack despite the loud crash. The tenant houses are haunted by former enslaved people and soldiers. Local paranormal teams confirm Latta is one of the most haunted locations in NC.
