What you can expect

  • Meet your guide and begin your ghost tour of Asheville. Head to Riverside Cemetery, one of the most historic and scenic cemeteries in North Carolina. Visit notable gravesites, quiet pathways, and hear the stories of figures like Zelda Fitzgerald, along with Asheville’s most chilling legends.

    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 view the receiving vault and maybe even be photographed with the spirits of German POWs if you dare.

    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, 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. The tour lasts around 2 hours.
