What To Expect
1
Pack Square
An Asheville mayor killed himself in the Jackson building. How may people have jumped from the top? And why is there a bulls-eye on the sidewalk below? Learn about the ghoul of the old jail, Thomas Wolfe's ghost, Helen's Bridge, and more!
2
Grove Arcade
Hear the controversial story of the murder of Helen Clevenger in the Battery Park Hotel, and why a blood-red haze is said to appear around her murder-room window on the anniversary of the tragedy.
3
Basilica of Saint Lawrence
This building's architect is entombed in the wall of this church, and his apparition is seen roaming in the night, gazing, in awe, at the world-class dome he constructed with a secret method.
4
Thomas Wolfe Memorial
The spirits of the great author (Look Homeward, Angel), and his brother, roam the halls of this storied mansion. Thomas Wolfe even wrote about spirits before he died at age 37. Wait till you hear the full story!
5
Pritchard Park
This is where troops rallied before the "Battle of Asheville" in the Civil War. Southern ghosts still violently shove some people to the ground, and spectral drums are heard beating in the night.

The tour was super fun and the stories were fun to hear! Only detractor was the group size felt too large, but other than that we had a great time!

A group of friends and I were really excited to do this tour on a trip to Asheville on Halloween. There was 13 of us in our group. We were super shocked when we showed up and joined a crowd of what was probably about 65 - 75 people total for the tour. I was pretty disappointed about this before the tour even started. It was hard to hear the instructor, Tad, at times and the group moved at a snailās pace due to the size. We decided to leave half way through the tour to find some food. We were bummed but felt it was a waste of time to continue. The Asheville history was cool but for the time allotted it felt like too much trouble. Please cap your group sizes!!

Tad was AMAZING! We are from out of town and total history nerds, we love the way he mixed the history and ghost stories as well as accounts of locals. 10/10 would definitely take anyone new to the area!
P.s. Itās also a great way to scope out food and shops to try!
