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.

Tad was AWESOME! He was animated and fun and really brought the stories to life. It was very interesting and historical, which I loved. Great tour

We went on the supernatural tour. It turned out primarily to be a history lesson with only two stories about something āspookyā that happened in the town, which somehow got stretched out into an hour and 45 minute walking tour. I have been on several other ghost tours in other towns, which were just better. Nothing wrong with our friendly tour guide, Tad. He seemed very knowledgeable. But this tour was kind of a snooze fest and needs an overhaul. More supernatural, less science and sociology (which kinda takes the fun out of the stories), and more stories about things that have happened in the town.
