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.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour given by Tad. We learned so much of the history of Asheville. Tad is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the āghostsā of the city. Please remember to bring cash to tip. Many people didnāt tip and that was disappointing. He did a great job and we were very happy we decided to do the tour.

Our tour guide, Tad, was excellent! Iāve done ghost tours in many other cities and he was the best tour guide I have had. He made the tour fun and was able to share a wealth of knowledge. Asheville is also a city with a great history/haunted past. The tour was also a good mix of walking and also having places to sit while Tad told us about the place we were at. Canāt recommend our guide and the tour enough!
