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.

My husband and I booked this tour a day in advance. We had tried to call back closer to the tour time, but were not able to get an answer. We decided to go anyway to the tour despite being tired. We were impressed with the tour guides story telling ability. You can tell he has experience speaking to large groups. I was concerned about the walking distance, but the frequent stops and interesting stories make this tour worthwhile. I did not care for the haunted museum. Just seemed like random props. I highly recommend this tour while in Asheville.

Chris was our tour guide and very knowledgeable. You can tell he really likes his job and because of that, he knows his stuff. He was able to answer any questions that we had and told us both history and ghost stories. It was laid back, clean, and we had a great time! Highly recommend.
