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 amazing! Our guide was amazing! He was a great story teller for sure! Loved just walking and listening to the history of Asheville ā¤ļø Such a beautiful city! One thing I wish they would put in the description that smoking is not allowed. We ended up behind the one smoker in the group everytime.... and it instantly gives me a headache. š¤¢

Even though it was a rainy night, Tadd did his best to keep us dry and he definitely made us think and laugh with his stories about the supernatural. As a transplant to the Asheville area, I appreciated his method of tying his spooky stories to the history of the area. It was also a great way to discover little nooks and crannies of Asheville's downtown that we never noticed before. I definitely plan on doing their other tours in the future!
