As the only ghost tour in the city that stops at a cemetery, we are ready to give you an experience you won't forget! We will stroll through the Riverside Cemetery, learning about the famous authors buried here and some wandering spirits who haven't found their final resting place. Hear stories about mass murderer Will Harris and his drunken rampage and have a chance to the view the receiving vault and maybe even be photographed with the spirits of German POWs if you dare! We will commiserate with Zelda Fitzgerald at the highland hospital, the Pink Lady at the Grove Park Inn and the spirits of Riverside and Erwin's pauper graves. Finally we will discover what happened at the murder hotel, family reunions at the Basilica of St Lawrence, and the Brown Lights that have baffled us for centuries. You will also receive recommendations for where to eat and drink, keeping with the theme of our ghostly adventure!

Q&A

Q: Is there a minimum age requirement for the ghost tour?

A: Yes, the Asheville Ghost Tour recommends participants be at least 12 years old. Younger kids can join, but it might be a bit spooky for them! It’s perfect for teens and adults who love a good ghost story.

Q: What should we wear for the tour? Is it mostly outdoors?

A: Great question! The tour goes through Riverside Cemetery and the Montford Neighborhood, so you'll be outdoors for most of it. Wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather. Layers are a good idea since it can get chilly in the evening!

Q: What do I do if it rains on the day of the tour?

A: The tours go rain or shine! They recommend bringing an umbrella just in case, but it can actually make the tour more atmospheric. If the weather is really bad, they may reschedule, and you can easily contact them for options.

Just got back from the Asheville Ghost Tour! Here’s my take.

I went on the Asheville Ghost Tour last weekend and it was SO much fun! We explored Riverside Cemetery and learned all about Zelda Fitzgerald and the spooky history of the area. The stories were super engaging, and I even got a pic near the receiving vault! It’s a perfect gift for anyone who loves history or a good scare. Just a heads up: wear comfy shoes and maybe bring a light jacket since it gets chilly!

Considering the Ghost Tour as a gift - thoughts?

I’m thinking about gifting the Asheville Ghost Tour to my sister for her birthday. She loves ghost stories and the whole spooky vibe! I heard there's a lot of cool history tied to it, especially about the famous authors. Has anyone done this tour? What do you think?
