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.

We met up with Tad our tour guide on a freezing night in Asheville. Iāve been on a variety of ghost tours of varying quality and this one quickly rose to the top of the list. Tad is hilarious and a great story teller. The information is expertly researched and super interesting You learn about the history of Asheville and some spooky stuff-both of the supernatural and human variety. The walk is easy and Tad makes sure no one is left behind. Highly recommend!!!

Aside from it being a cold and windy night, the tour was very informative, with good adult-based (meaning graphic) stories. Our guide wad really fun, and gave us a slightly extended tour (2 hours). We really enjoyed it!

My friend and I went on this tour last weekend. The tour was fantastic. We learned a lot about Asheville and enjoyed the stories Tad shared. Tad, our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable, entertaining, and a great host. We were slightly concerned about not being able to hear, but Tad did a great job tucking the group into corners where the acoustics were really great. I would definitely recommend this tour to others (and would consider going again!).
