2 Haunted Hotels Found in Charlotte
The Duke Mansion
400 Hermitage Road, Charlotte, NC 28207
The Duke Mansion is considered haunted largely due to the tragic love story surrounding a man named Jon Avery, who is said to have lived there in the 1920s with his ailing wife, Anastasia. Lonely and distressed over his wife's illness, Jon rented a room to a young writer, Maggie, with whom he developed a deep bond that became romantic. Realizing Jon would never abandon his sick wife, Maggie left, and they agreed to meet exactly one year later at midnight in the mansion gardens, 'dead or alive.' When Maggie returned, Jon appeared in spectral form, repeated their phrase, and walked through her—a chilling encounter confirmed only when Maggie learned he had died just days earlier from complications related to polio. This story has become the mansion's most persistent legend, featuring regularly in local lore and ghost sightings at the property. Guests and paranormal enthusiasts claim the Duke Mansion retains the restless spirit of Jon Avery, especially around the anniversary of the midnight rendezvous, drawing those curious about the supernatural to this elegant Charlotte landmark.
