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.

PRO: Good content that mixed history/culture of Asheville with paranormal incidents. Tour guide managed the group well and spoke clearly during the times he assembled us for periodic talks.
CON: Group size was WAY too large for one tour and one tour guide. We numbered between 55 & 65 (counted twice). Consequently, there was a lot of group walking without any guiding or stories (the majority of the walk was just that -- walking around and talking with others in the group.
I would rate this excellent for a 20-person (or fewer) tour.

Tad was an excellent tour guide! He was super funny and passionate about each story. He did a great job speaking loudly and moving everyone so they would be able to hear him clearly. The tour was also a great way to walk around downtown and get to know a little info. Highly recommend! Definitely ask for Tad
