Built in the 1920s, the Prince Charles Hotel survived a rather tumultuous period in U.S. history. Unfortunately, bankruptcy and structure concerns caused it to close in 2010. While there are plans to restore it and create condos and office space, the building apparently is deserted for the time being. Regardless, its ghost story shall continue to live on considering that Charlotte, the building's ghost, can no longer live. The story goes that Charlotte committed suicide after walking into the honeymoon suite and finding her new husband in bed with a bridesmaid. While the event allegedly happened on the seventh floor, reports say that she was known for causing a ruckus and for riding the elevator to the eighth floor.

I grew up in Fayetteville and lived there for 10 years. Prince Charles was a staple for downtown and even during Halloween it was a stop for the haunted downtown tour that was ran by local historians. The story of Charlotte may not being documented but weird things have occurred even on the outside of the hotel. I remember being a teenage going downtown for the zombie walk when a train stopped stopped st the tracks blocking people from the outskirt streets and parking lots. Where you stand at the subway is adjacent to the Prince Charles hotel. Well while several of us in the area were waiting for train to move, there were also about 5-6 of us that noticed what looked like to be a woman standing in the window of the hotel. This was while it was still closed and they were renovating the downstairs, but there shouldn’t have been anyone on the upper levels. We could see a curtain partially blocking the woman and someone took a picture but I’m not sure where it is now. Downtown has a lot of notably history and tragedy that you can’t just discount every odd thing to be something weird and not supernatural.

I lived at the Prince Charles from the re-opening in May of 2019 through 2022. While the place was not fully occupied, there were more hauntings. It's no joke and not made up. The spirits weren't malicious- just made themselves known here and there. The elevator would be stuck at floor 11- although there are only 8 floors, electronics would turn on in the middle of the night, heard a woman startled by me and there was no one there.... I just asked God and my angels for protection at night and slept like a baby!

This is the only site that mentions the Prince Charles as haunted. The hotel is now retail and living space. Never heard any stories of it especially being haunted. Maybe it's time to update your website. I'm a native North Carolinian and have never heard of what you claim.
