Itinerary

  1. Sit back as we roll you through Downtown Asheville in the evening where it transforms from a bustling mountain haven into a playground for the paranormal. We’ll guide you through the city's historic core, sharing some of our bizarre legends, eccentric characters, and spooky history that the guidebooks leave out.

    Passes by

  2. Be sure to gaze up at the stunning neo-Gothic Jackson Building, built on a tiny, bizarrely narrow lot. While it’s beautiful by day, late-night workers in the building have long reported the chilling sound of heavy, frantic footsteps pacing the top floors when the offices are completely empty.

    Passes by

  3. Get a glimpse of the Basilica of Saint Lawrence, where the famous architect, Rafael Guastavino, who built it was actually entombed right inside the building.

    Passes by

  4. We’ll guide you past the entrance to Chicken Alley, a narrow historic passage haunted by the ghost of a 1902 bar-fight victim, Dr. Jamie Smith. He’s been seen roaming the alley in a long black coat—presumably looking for his lost medical bag or a decent craft beer.

    Passes by

  5. We’ll roll past the former Battery Park Hotel, where rich Gilded Age vacationers checked in, but some never checked out.

    Passes by

  6. we will cruise past the grand Victorian homes in Montford, a neighborhood that hid a massive network of tuberculosis and psychiatric sanitariums in the early 1900s. You will hear the eerie legends of the doctors, patients, and restless souls who came to the mountains seeking healing, but ended up staying forever.

    Passes by

  7. Pritchard Park, famous today for its lively Friday night drum circle. But long before the tourists arrived, this spot served as a tense rallying point for troops during the Civil War. Locals swear that on quiet nights, you can still hear the faint, chilling beat of spectral war drums echoing from the empty trees—or maybe it's just a local condo owner who didn't want the Friday jam session to end. LOL (inside joke)
