Experience Asheville like never before with the only ghost tour in the city that includes a stop at a historic cemetery. Walk through Riverside Cemetery and hear stories about famous authors buried there, as well as spirits who haven't yet found peace. This tour offers a mix of history and haunting tales that will send shivers down your spine.
Discover the chilling stories of Will Harris, a mass murderer known for his drunken rampages, and explore the receiving vault—perhaps even capturing photos with the spirits of German POWs if you're brave enough! We’ll also pay respects to Zelda Fitzgerald at Highland Hospital, the Pink Lady at Grove Park Inn, and the spirits resting in Riverside and Erwin’s pauper graves.
As the night unfolds, uncover what transpired at the infamous murder hotel, learn about family reunions at the Basilica of St. Lawrence, and explore the mysterious Brown Lights that have puzzled locals for centuries.
