The Historic Old Settlers’ Cemetery is Charlotte's first public burial ground and one of the oldest in North Carolina. 🪦🌿
Thomas Polk, linked to the 1775 Mecklenburg Declaration, is buried here alongside his son, Charles “Devil Charlie” Polk.
Feared as a killer and remembered as a prankster, Charlie’s ghost is often blamed for strange happenings in the area.
