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.

Really enjoyed the tour. Brian was funny and informative. He gave us a lot of history and stories that we wouldn't have known just walking by ourselves.

If youāre in Asheville for more than 1 day, do this trip day 1! I wish we had because after the tour we would have loved going back to some of the places to check them out. Brian was super informative & I could have listened to his stories for days. The 2 hours went by so quickly & the walk wasnāt too bad with places to sit & listen to Brian along the way. I loved every minute of it. Highly recommend & I would do it again if I was ever back in the area.

Tad's presentation was very dramatic. There were some interesting stories, particularly about the Pink Lady and about the men seen jumping from the tall building. We learned some Asheville history and saw some historic sites on the tour.
