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 guide said he deviated from the tour so he had to skip 2 of the locations that would normally be included (there were only about 6 locations for the whole tour so this was a significant loss). The tour guide was extremely nice and friendly and offered advice on things to see and do in Asheville. He had a mini speaker system so it was easy to hear to him. That said, the tour itself was really just a retelling of previous tours he had given and paranormal things that may or may not have happened during those tours. The guide was accepting of all beliefs/lack of belief in the paranormal and kept the tour engaged with some jokes along the way. All in all a nice tour guide but a terrible tour. Expect to walk up and down hills at a slow leisurely pace.
