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.

Brian was our guide. His stories were engaging and his level of knowledge of the city was impressive. Though we did not have any encounters on the tour, we did get a heck of a lot of stories and had a great evening. We would recommend this tour to have some fun and learn a lot about Asheville.

Christian was funny and knowledgeable. It was interesting to hear about the influenza outbreak. I wish we heard more stories. Also my party was skeptical about no AC in the Wolfe house. not sure about the window situation.

Brian was a GREAT tour guide - the history behind the city was fascinating. Not to much the entertainment from the various locals during the tour. Whether you believe in the paranormal or not, you will take something away from this tour. The scenery, architecture and the history behind Asheville was well worth the tour.
