Itinerary
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!
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.
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.
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!
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 boyfriend and I had the best time on this tour. Very spooky and very educational. I believe our tour guides name was Bryan and he was super cool.
Be prepared to be entertained & captivated by the stories of Asheville’s dark past. They are creatively presented & backed by historical evidence, with a sprinkle of paranormal! The fact that the guides are true believers is a bonus!
What makes this tour stand out is its balance of history and storytelling. Rather than relying solely on jump scares or exaggerated tales, the guide tells about Asheville’s fascinating past with accounts of hauntings, local legends, and unexplained events. Along the route, visitors learn about some of Asheville’s most iconic buildings, tragic events, and the characters whose stories continue to linger long after their deaths.
The guide we had was exceptional. He spoke as if he had been on stage many times telling stories with with a flair for drama.
Great tour, would recommend A+
