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.

I go to a ghost walk whenever I travel if one is available. This is by far one of the two best I have ever been on. The other gem was a ghost walk in Gettysburg; so that is a great recommendation for Ashville. Our tour guide was Brian who was funny, knowledgeable and easy to hear and follow. Brian is a believer and told us about some of his experiences but was open to other beliefs. He separated stories that were just "legend" and those that seemed more true. My friend and I also got a GREAT feel for the history of Ashville. It was probably the favorite thing we did during an already great vacation. My advice is GO!

Enjoyed the rich story telling, history and architecture. Our guide Brian was a wealth of knowledge and brought the city to life. Loved it.
