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.

This is a fun way to experience the city! Tad (our guide) tells the stories very well. He held our attention the whole time and does a great job projecting his voice and energy to the whole crowd in spite of all the city noise. I definitely recommend this experience if you like walking tours, history, or good ghost stories!

I enjoyed this walking ghost tour. The guide was articulate and made sure everyone could hear him clearly. I have been on tours where the guide talked to a small group and left the rest high and dry.
Walking around downtown in the evening along with good storytelling was a pure pleasure.

We had a great experience on a busy Friday night with Brian as our guide. We were in a large group of over 70 people, and we were unsure if we would be able to sty together and hear everything, but Brian made sure everyone could see and hear him and all of his stories. He was very knowledgeable and obviously loves the city. Highly recommend if you are a fan of this type of thing!
