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 are ghost tour enthusiasts. This tour was definitely very informative and fun. The guide was great with giving us extras details of the town history and even geological makeup. (Quartz deposits right under the town!! So cool!). Definitely would recommend!!

Tad was awesome! We had a great time, found the tour to be extremely fun and informative. I actually didn't know anything of Asheville until a few weeks ago so it was awesome to get an in depth look at the history. Tad was an engaging guide and great storyteller. We hope to come back for the supernatural tour!

It was inconsiderate to have the tour on. Torrential rain. Sone people did not have umbrellas. We were lucky, we had one.. the policy of no cancellation, rain or shine is ridiculous. We listened to rhe stories under awnings, then quickly glanced at the stops.We could not hear the stories the tour guide said, nor see clearly where it occurred. It was an unfortunate night. A waste of money.It should have been rescheduled

We are so sorry God made it rain that night. We prayed and asked God to stop it, but God wasn't listening. Fortunately, everyone else enjoyed a dark and stormy night of ghostly tales. We always run regardles of weather! ALWAYS.
