Description
The Boojum, Mothman, the Brown Mountain Lights - the stuff of Appalachian legend… or is it? Join Angus, your kilted Highland storyteller, as he leads you through four unique Asheville pubs, sharing strange encounters, sinister lore, and tales of creatures said to still haunt the region. This evening pub crawl weaves history, myth, and the eerie unknown - from hidden alleys to quiet taverns, some legends may be closer than you think. Your guide through Appalachian folklore has spent decades on stage as a professional actor, director, and fight choreographer, so expect a fully immersive night, not just a walking tour. *Brewery stops are subject to change due to events or availability at individual venues.

Angus is a delight and I...
Angus is a delight and I can't recommend his tour enough! He may have ruined me sleeping with my windows open because of his vivid story telling, but I guess that just means he's great at what he does!
C
Fantastic evening!
This crawl was so much fun and very informative. Cryptid tales can differ between storytellers and it's always cool to hear unique takes on them. Our guide, Angus, was the best!

Really lovely evening....
Really lovely evening. Angus is a great storyteller! I could listen to him tell spooky stories all night! He peppered in great (cheesy) jokes along the way and was just a great dude to hang out with for the evening.
