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.

Too much standing in the heat. It wasn't really spooky. It was a historical murder lesson. The guide was friendly and nice. I wish we stopped for water. It was so hot. Beautiful scenery. History was interesting. This tour is more standing than walking.

We had a great time on our tour. The guide (Brian) was extremely knowledgeable of the history and the paranormal. It was a 2-hr tour but felt like it went very quickly since we were so immersed in the stories and local legends. It was a pretty big crowd, but our guide had a microphone and we had no problem hearing him. He was also very personable and made sure he tried to talk with everyone. I highly recommend it.
Tho I do think with over 70 people (I counted) they should cap this tour at a max number for a more personable experience.
