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.

Not only was the tour really informative, it helped us get to dip our toes into whatās around Asheville! Perfect for those who need to be forced out of the hotel haha. Plus, Tad is a GREAT storyteller! Itās like hanging out with a friend!

Visiting Asheville for the first time. My cousin and I wanted to do something different on our visit, this ghost tour was just that. Our guide Brian was very informative and very entertaining even beyond just the paranormal activity in the city but overall anything regarding Asheville in general. We both agreed it was fun to learn about the Asheville history and who/whom spirits still reside in the city. You have to check the actual photos he has of sightings in real-time. Hands down amazingly spooky!

Great time and guide. We were lucky to have a small group of about 12 - he mentioned usually its much more- so it was easy to hear and ask questions. He was very knowledgeable and a great storyteller.
