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.

Not only is it fun for ghost stories, but history a well. The stories were short but they were happy to answer questions and provide ways to learn more.
The tour was wonderful. Our guide was knowledgeable and shared his personal experiences with the various locations visited. The tour took about an hour and a half to complete, but we were a small group (about 30 people). Not only were the stories interesting to hear, but this was a great way to see the city as well. I appreciated that we ended where we began because it made parking easy. This can be done without "walking shoes" if you happen to forget them. We walked at a moderate pace....quicker than a stroll but not so much that you felt like it was a workout.
This was a great experience. The tour was filled with lots of local history and great ghost stories and all the fun stuff that you of wanna hear whenever you’re doing a ghost story tour guide was super knowledgeable great guy I would recommend this trip to anyone.
The guide was very nice but I compared to other ghost tours I have taken this one was just "okay".

Be prepared to move at a good walking pace because you will see and hear about a lot of buildings downtown. Asheville history is incredibly interesting! Especially when ghosts and hauntings are involved. Our tour made for a fun evening in the city.
Great adventure for the price! The guide we had was very into it and was a great narrator
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.
