Valhalla — orValhaunted? That's what I found myself wondering after employees told me the Uptown pub is haunted when I stopped by this week to check out the newly renovated space.
Naturally, I had questions. So I reached out to Jason Tapp of Spooky CLT, an expert in Charlotte's supernatural history who once took me on a haunted bar crawl through Uptown.
What they're saying: "I have no doubt the area is haunted — especially the arcade," Tapp told me.
He added that there's a long-standing urban legend connecting Latta Arcade and Brevard Court (where Valhalla sits) to bootlegging. "I've been in the tunnels under the arcade," he said.
"It's clear they connect to a larger network, but not much deeper than one story down."
