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.

Enjoyed the paranormal narrative, along with the historical perspective. The guide spoke very clearly and his voice was well amplified, so he could be heard very well no matter where you were positioned in the group. Also, we appreciated his consideration to storytell in many areas where the group could also sit down. Enjoyed his offer to review his paranormal photos and video on his phone at the end of the tour. Our 8-year-old granddaughter and another 8-year-old girl in the group enjoyed the tour as well.

You should take this tour. Not too much walking and frequent breaks. Our guide, Tadd, was the best. He was very knowledgable about the history of Asheville and the background for each of the ghost stories. He was a wonderful story teller.
