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 awesome. He is a very good story teller and funny. Knowledgeable of more than just the paranormal, with lots of history woven in. Content was entertaining and the city is wonderful of course. Enjoyed it very much.

Guide smoked a cigar the entire duration of the tour. He also did not always use his mic & often stood so that those behind him/to the side could not hear (it was slightly windy but he had a habit of only facing part of the group). Stories were somewhat interesting but also vague. Not a very engaging guide. Expected more.

This is funny! Our guides don't smoke cigars while giving a tour.

Frankly didnāt expect much, but some of these stories will stick with me for a long time, particularly the Pink Lady who Tad said inhabits the hotel I was staying at. I later asked some of the staff who all confirmed it -some had stories and one older bellman showed me a photo that was pretty convincing. Chills!
I was also impressed by the depth of Tadās academic background in the lore.
