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.

Awesome ghost tour! Tad was our very knowledgeable tour guide and we covered 2 hours of Ashevilleās downtown walking around. He told of all Ashevilles grusome murders and ghost stories. He was funny and engaging the entire time. We also covered some of Ashevilles history and most famous buildings. Totally worth it!!!!

Great history of the city. Would have liked to actually go inside the buildings. I thought it was going to be more intense.

This was the best activity I did in Asheville! The guide was extremely personable, gave us a lot of history as well as personal experiences and always encouraged us to ask questions and be interactive. At the end, he gave us each a piece of Feldspar Quartz as a gift and it was such a nice surprise! My only complaint is that I had a little trouble sleeping that night since my hotel was very close to one of the sights! But honestly, a terrific and informative evening! I highly recommend this.
