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 enjoyed our tour guide ā the anthropologist! Heās a great story teller and managed to project his voice beautifully to a crowd of people on a windy night in the open air. The stories were very interesting, and we felt we got a great introduction to Ashevilleās colorful history at the same time. Weāll probably go again while weāre here for the next couple of months.

Brian was a great storyteller! We had a great time. Just make sure you wear comfortable shoes and big repellant. When we come back, we want to try the other tours! Thank you!

We had an awesome time walking around Asheville with our guide Christian. Due to a small group size, we voted for the more "in-depth" version of Asheville's haunts and wow-- what an experience! The combination of ghost stories and first-hand experiences of past guides and guests was a real plus for our group. Very informative and fun. Would recommend to anyone interested in the city's storied past...
