Tour Options
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 husband and I love going on ghost tours in every city we visit because it’s a great way to learn about the history behind a place! Our guide Tad was very knowledgeable and knew so much about Asheville! He was super funny and we really enjoyed our walk! Be sure to wear comfy shoes and clothes because there are some inclines on the walk! And don’t forget water!
Loved the walking tour. Christian our guide was great. Very knowledgeable and funny. Enjoyed all his stories. His wife was great too!
We enjoyed the walk, I would highly recommend. Tad was very animated and engaging with our group. .
The tour was superb and Tadd was an awesome guide. We had a fairly small group, including some teens and preteens. There is quite a bit of walking, some uphill, but not so bad that we couldn't handle it. Enough story stops to catch our breath. Tadd did an excellent job sharing the history of Asheville and how it came to be the city that it is today, along with several of the town's hauntings. We will definitely be back for his Supernatural Tour in the near future!
My daughter and I really enjoyed the tour. Tad was great and he knew so much Asheville history. I would recommend doing the tour as early as you can we waited until our last day. Would have liked to explore so our the sites we visited
Tad was an excellent story teller. Walking got to be a little tricky when it started to rain. Shelter was found under large trees and awnings of buildings while they stories weee told.
Fun! Interesting stories about Asheville. The walk takes you around the downtown area and is a good way to see the city.
Tour guide was pretty funny. Very knowledgeable about the history of Asheville. He didn't stumble over his words as if he was making up stories. Bring water just to sip. (No bathroom breaks, lol) You're walking up and down hills. He gave me a new outlook on american history!
This tour was really fun! The guide was very knowledgeable, and answered any questions we had. The walk was not bad, and the duration was about 2 hours. Well worth the money.
The guide and his wife were very knowledgeable about the history of Asheville and made the tour fun with their humor. I highly recommend.
