Why You Should Book Your Asheville Terrors Ghost Tour Tonight!

Only we show you the true history of Asheville

Asheville is a pretty town, even more so if you take into account the views from the rolling peaks that surround the town. But the city hides an unsavory past that only comes out at night. These stories reveal what lies beneath the surface more than any museum ever could. We take you to the actual locations of the stories and the ghosts that haunt the town today.

Only Asheville Terrors will relate in such a poignant way, the tragic story of Zelda Fitzgerald and her untimely demise at the nearby Highland Hospital for the mentally ill. She stayed there for nine years and her tragic death, and the nine others who died with her was a black mark on the whole town.

What if you only have a day or two in the mountains?

The days are full and active in Asheville, but the nights get cold and empty here in the hills. Warm yourselves with a brisk one mile walk, 1.4 miles for the extended tour, and reveal another layer to this fun city in the cradle of the Blue Ridge Mountains. All tours leave from the historic Jackson Building on South Pack Square, each evening and take advantage of the descending darkness to bring out another side to Asheville.

You and your party will see that the supernatural side of Ashville is just as interesting as the city in the daylight. These carefully selected ghost stories bring the history and character of Asheville to life and will live on in your mind for years. A good memory really is the best souvenir.

You want an Asheville activity the whole family can enjoy

We don’t want anyone to lose a night’s sleep, so we keep the tour family-friendly, that’s not to say these ghost stories are not scary, or gory, or incredibly memorable. They involve the people who made Asheville the fascinating town it is today. Their human stories of striving, loss, adventure, and ruin will live on in your memory for years to come.

So bring everyone, we welcome younger guests and older ones too!

You want to see more architecture by Rafael Guastavino

This Spanish immigrant brought his talent and drive to bear on more than 1000 buildings in the United States and the chances are you have already been in under one of his patented Structural tiled vaults. The magnificent arched vaults under Grand Central Station – that’s Guastavino too. the vaults in Carnegie Hall, the Capitol in Washington, and the Boston Public Library – all Guastavino. He was involved in the construction of the Biltmore Estate and liked it so much here in Asheville he retired here.

His retirement didn’t last long though, unsatisfied with the meager church here at the time, he convinced the city to build the Basilica of St. Lawrence, a magnificent finale and final resting place of Rafael Guastavino, it was however over 3 months after he died that the frozen ground in Ashville was soft enough to bury poor Rafael, his unhappy ghost still roams the Basilica today, some say grumbling about his delayed interment.

Haunted History & Murder Mystery Ghost Trolly Tour

Just got home from doing this tour hosted by Brian. Tour was wonderful. Brian is extremely knowledgeable & easy to understand. I have lived in the Asheville area almost 20 years & did not know a lot of the history he talked about. Highly recommend. Carol O.

The price was less than I expected.Our guides were Brian and Dean. Both knew so much and made it a lot of fun. I was amazed the tight spots they could drive that trolley through. And all while they told history and made jokes!!

This is a get on and off (if you want to) Trolley and worth every penny!! It's a history lesson with great views and very knowledgeable drivers!

Read many reviews before our tour,but if any guide is better than Brian I would like to meet them.Clever,articulate,knowledgeable,you name an adjective.This was by far the best trolley tour we have ever taken.Great overview of Asheville and American history Don Miller

There are many tours of Asheville, NC, for such a small city. Several are walking tours. This one is easy, gives you a good basic idea of the local history, it's easy to hear to tour guide, you are sheltered from the sun on hot days or rain on others. The best thing is, you can go around once, hear everything and decide where you want to get off and see more of, then go around again and get off and back on wherever they stop. Or do it over 2 consecutive days. It is not as in depth as a walking tour perhaps, but it is reasonable and handy, and a versatile manner to get info on Asheville.

June 30, 2015 upon recommendation from friends, we purchased the Grey Line Trolley Tour tickets. Best bang for your buck in Asheville! Our trolley driver and tour guide was Dean. Hope you get to go with him, he is very knowledgable of Asheville and the history plus he is funny and makes the tour fun!! Did not have time to do any hopping on and hopping off, but hope to do that next time. If you are in Asheville for the first time, I agree, you should do this first!

Asheville, North Carolina has architecture heavily influenced by New York City. You’ll find Wall Street, Battery Park, and a Flatiron Building. The Flatiron building is one of the most popular attractions in Asheville, with a beautiful inn, breathtaking designs, and a super cozy sky bar.

Some patrons claim to have had some spooky experiences while visiting it, though, like ghosts jumping off the building to plummet into Battery Park. It’s one of the favorite spots on our tour.

GROVE ARCADE

Construction of the Grove Arcade began in 1915. The idea was to make downtown Asheville more vibrant to attract more visitors to the city. At the time, it had a reputation as one of the most lively retail locations in the eastern United States.

However, the Grove Arcade has an eerie history, making it an excellent stop on our Asheville ghost tour. You can experience the spooky sensation firsthand.

BASILICA OF ST. LAWRENCE

The Basilica of St. Lawrence is perhaps one of the most famous landmarks in Asheville. It’s a structure in the city’s skyline instantly recognizable by locals and tourists passing through. The Basilica of St. Lawrence is also known to have a few ghosts roaming around potentially.

Some visitors believe that they’ve seen the building’s architect, Rafael Guastavino, roaming the cathedral’s corridors.

Welcome to Asheville Ghosts

Fear in the blue ridge mountains.

Nestled among the two beautiful mountain ranges, Asheville is an outdoor lover’s dream with a vibrant culinary scene and an abundance of microbreweries. But as you walk through the seemingly fresh and artsy mountain town, the hairs on your neck will stand as you realize there’s something more sinister than beer, dogs, or great views hiding in the haunted foothills of the Blue Ridge and Smoky Mountains.

Discover the city’s deadly secrets with Asheville Terrors and find out why the horrors of its past still lurk in the shadows. From the tragedy at Biltmore Estate to murder at cloak-and-dagger distilleries, victims of tragedy, abuse and the Battle of Asheville still haunt the streets of Beer City, USA.

What will I see on this tour?

Asheville’s charm is palatable with historic buildings lining wide squares, but dig deeper into the Paris of the South and you’ll find skeletons in the walls. Explore the streets of Asheville in the dead of night and feel the pulse-raising presence of long-dead settlers who whisper their stories from the grave.  

Hear screams of Colonel Samuel Davidson, who died as a victim of Cherokee hunters. A waft of smoke that is detailed in my eyewitness reports is said to be from homes burned long ago by Confederate soldiers. Feel the cold grip of a long-dead slave on your arm or see the ghost of an Asheville mayor leap from the top of the 15-story Jackson Building.

Uncover the secrets beneath Asheville’s proper veneer and learn about the horror that lives in the hills surrounding the Land of the Sky. Join us on a ghost adventure tour and discover the secrets hidden in the walls of historic buildings. Hear spine-tingling stories of tragic deaths and of victims whose spirits still stalk the seemingly pleasant streets of Asheville.  

Awaken Ancient Bootleggers and Outlawed Souls

Though residents voted for prohibition, Asheville only abstained from alcohol on paper in the 1920s. In truth, the city was overrun by underground distilleries and breweries and was a regional hub for making and distributing alcohol. Tunnels were built between buildings and the ghosts of those who died during illegal trade still roam the streets. Domestic abuse and violence also sprang up alongside distilleries during prohibition in Beer City, oftentimes ending in death.

Don’t be alarmed if you hear whispers from the shadows as you walk through Asheville’s downtown, it’s just a bootlegger beckoning you to try his spirits. Cool breath on the back of your neck could be a beaten wife, begging for help. A wave of hot air passing by could be the echo of a distillery explosion that killed dozens of men.  

Uncover the bone-chilling secrets of Asheville’s past as you explore buildings once home to cutthroat bootleggers bent on violence and lawbreaking. Tour the darker side of Asheville with us on our ghost adventure tour and hear stories that will raise the hair on the back of your neck and give you nightmares as a souvenir.

WHY IS ASHEVILLE SO HAUNTED?

The ghosts of soldiers and victims continue to haunt asheville.

Many of the Cherokee who lived in the mountains around Asheville met untimely ends when European settlers brought new diseases to the area. Their spirits are said to still haunt the mountains where they prayed, hunted, and lived.  

A century later, Asheville became a burial ground for slaves whose ghosts still call out from their unfamiliar resting places. During the Civil War, Asheville was burned and plundered by Union soldiers. Ghosts of the terrorized and traumatized residents still call from where their homes burned to the ground.  

The ghosts of desperate businessmen still stalk the upper floors of the Jackson Building on Pack Square, repeating the day the stock market crashed in 1929. Some think a bullseye pattern in the brick at the foot of the building marks where he met his end. Some say they can still see him pacing the top of the building, muttering his last regrets before he leaped to his death.

Journey through streets charred with tragedy and hear nightmarish stories of Asheville’s violent past on our ghost adventure tour. Walk in the footsteps of lives cut short and feel the lingering aura of spirits who just can’t leave their tragic endings behind. Instead of just reading about the ghosts of Asheville, join us on a tour you won’t forget.  

What’s so special about the Asheville Ghost Tour? 

A ghostly tour to meet the spirits of beer city usa.

Blood built the booze industry in Asheville, where bootlegging was rampant during 1920s prohibition and beyond. The deadly consequences of feuds between rival outlaws are rarely highlighted in the normal history lessons of Asheville. After you’ve spent the day touring Asheville’s distilleries and sampled flights from the many microbreweries in Beer City, take a moment to drink in the darkest details of the local alcohol industry.  

Embark on a tour revealing stories of blood money and outlawed beer on a ghost tour of Asheville and hear tales of the violence that helped build Beer City and helped it thrive. Where there is violence, there are victims, and the victims of Asheville’s past cry out to be heard and possibly to find justice.

See a Different Side of Beautiful the Beautiful Blue Ridge

Darkness lurks in the waters of the Swannanoa River, which flows through Asheville and meets with the French Broad River near Baltimore Village. Ominous ghosts wait for the sun to abandon the brilliant scenery that has given Asheville its nickname of Land of the Sky.  

Once you’ve explored the incredible biodiversity and outdoor opportunities that Asheville offers, take a more disturbing walk through the sordid streets and dark underbelly of the mountain town that still hosts the ghosts of this city’s past. Embark on a ghost adventure tour with Asheville Terrors and hear shocking stories that will make your blood run cold.  

Become Part of a Like-Minded Ghostly Community

Begin an exploration of a city that still holds cadavers in the walls of historic buildings, a place where tragedy has painted the town square and the forsaken spirits of founders refuse to leave. If you love the breathtaking feeling of chills running up your spine, join us on a haunted adventure on a bone-chilling ghost tour of Asheville.  

Hear heart-stopping tales of murder and suicide, and listen for the ghosts of the past to send whispers on the wind from their ice-cold graves.

Experience the adrenaline rush of exploring haunted locations

Skip the rollercoasters and put yourself in the path of a poltergeist instead. If you’re looking for an adrenaline rush, you’ll jump at the chance to uncover the blood-chilling mysteries of Asheville with us on our ghost tour of downtown Asheville.

The Asheville Trolley Tour: Everything to know (2024)

A complete guide to the gray line trolley tour.

Welcome to our guide on the Asheville Trolley Tour ! While it’s officially the ‘Gray Line’ trolley, everyone here knows and loves it as THE trolley. I love spotting trolley tours when I am around town– and this happens a lot because the trolley stops all over the place.

This guide to the Asheville Trolley details stops, the schedule, pricing and more.

From experience, we highly recommend the trolley for both visitors and locals . It’s such a great way to explore Asheville and get the lay of the land. You’ll enjoy the sights, hop around as needed and also learn a little while doing so.

Asheville Visitor Center with a Gray Line Trolley in front

Not only is it a novel experience for kids (and people who used to be kids!), but it also takes away any worry about getting around the city or parking. You can just sit back and relax while seeing what the city has to offer. We love it so much that it’s on our list of favorite things to do in Asheville!

  • Stops on the Asheville Trolley

Asheville Trolley Schedule

Asheville trolley pricing, frequently asked questions about the asheville trolley, stops on the asheville trolley.

There are ten trolley stops total, taking you as far north as the Omni Grove Park Inn and as far south as Biltmore Village. The trolley tour officially starts in Montford at the Asheville Visitor Center , though, as the name implies, you can hop on anywhere!

Below you will details on the stops along with information about each area.

Trolley Stop 1: Asheville Visitor Center (Montford)

The Asheville Visitor Center is a great place to begin the tour if driving in because you’ll find free parking at the visitor center . You can also pick up local brochures and coupons, as well as get ideas for things to do from the volunteers there.

If you want to stroll a bit, head down Montford Ave to check out the magnificent historical homes on the tree-lined street. You can grab a coffee or bite to eat any time of the day at All Day Darling before heading back to the visitor center for your next trolley stop: The Omni Grove Park Inn .

Trolley Stop 2: Omni Grove Park Inn

What a stop! Whether you are checking in for the night or just want to soak up the view, you are sure to enjoy your time at the Omni Grove Park Inn.

There are restaurants on the premises (make sure to make a reservation), nearby galleries and even an antique car museum. Trolleying in is great because parking can be a bit tricky at times. Don’t miss the mega fireplaces and beautiful views.

Trolley Stop 3: Renaissance & Four Points Hotels in downtown Asheville

Downtown Asheville nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains

After your visit to the Omni Grove Park Inn, you’ll head south on the trolley to the downtown Asheville area. There are actually four stops downtown, so no need to hop off at the hotels unless you are staying at one.

You will get closer to downtown’s shops and restaurants on the next few stops. But bonus points for these hotels being on the tour! It definitely makes getting around the city easier when visiting.

Trolley Stop 4: Pack Square

Welcome to downtown Asheville! There are so many great local shops and eateries here. When the weather is nice you’ll also enjoy the sound of buskers.

The first stop downtown is at Pack Square. You’ll love this stop if French Broad Chocolate is on your must-visit list. And if it’s not, well, add it!

Exterior of French Broad Chocolate Lounge in downtown Asheville

The Pack Square stop is a great place to begin your downtown exploration. There is plenty within walking distance, including Stay Glazed Donuts (they are on our best donut shops in Asheville list !), The Rhu for a breakfast pastry or sandwich and Mast General Store for shopping.

Double D's Double Decker Coffee Bus

Stop by Double D’s Coffee if having coffee at the top of a parked double-decker bus is on your Asheville bucket list! And if it’s lunchtime and nice out, Salsa’s offers an exceptional meal with great patio seating in the alleyway.

Just across the street from Salsa’s you’ll find Kress Emporium , featuring the work of over 80 local artists. It’s a great spot for fun jewelry finds, art, candles and things you didn’t know you needed but can’t live without.

The Asheville Museum of Science (AMOS) is just a few shops down from Kress. It’s a great stop if you are traveling with kids and need to give them time to burn off energy. You can read about our trip to AMOS with our two kids here !

There are two more stops downtown before the trolley heads to the River Arts District. You can either hop back on the trolley at the Pack Square stop or do a walking tour and meet it again at a stop further down the line.

Downtown is very walkable and you’ll pass by tons of great shops and restaurants if you walk to the next stop, including S&W Market .

The S&W Market

Exterior of the S&W Cafeteria Building

S&W is a food hall and taproom with several great restaurants to choose from. It’s a great stop for groups because everyone can grab their favorite type of food! We absolutely love getting chicken sandwiches from Buxton Chicken Palace and steamed buns from Bun Intended . Read more about the S&W Market here !

Trolley Stop 5: Haywood Park Hotel

If you decided to take the trolley from Pack Square instead of walking, you won’t go too far! The trolley stays downtown, stopping again at the Haywood Park Hotel . This is another area of town filled with shops, restaurants, coffee shops, dessert shops, galleries… ok, you get the picture. It’s also another great base for adventuring out.

Woolworth Building in Downtown Asheville

Don’t miss the Woolworth Walk just across from where the trolley stops. It’s a two-story art gallery and emporium, complete with a nostalgic vintage soda fountain and diner inside.

You’ll find Malaprop’s Book Store just down the way, which is locally owned and filled with great finds. We love their selection of kids’ books! There are also a ton of other local shops around here as well as the iconic flat iron sculpture.

If you haven’t stopped in Moonlight Makers yet, take a quick trip down the hill behind Malaprop’s to do so! We love this gift shop because there are so many great local Asheville finds, as well as punny screen printed shirts, dishtowels and bags, clever mugs, stickers and unique gifts.

Across from the Haywood Park Hotel stop is James Beard Award-winning restaurant Chai Pani . Expect excellent Indian street food and a cool vibe. It’s next to Kilwin’s if you are in need of fudge, ice cream or other sweet treats.

Trolley Stop 6: Grove Arcade

There’s one more stop downtown before the trolley heads to the River Arts District- and it’s a good one: The Grove Arcade.

The building itself is a work of architecture and the shops and restaurants are just as charming. Inside you’ll find tons of local stores, like Asheville NC Home Crafts and the Mission at the Grove . It’s a great place to find a souvenir or two.

Grove Arcade façade in downtown Asheville

There are several restaurants located at the Grove Arcade that have outdoor seating along Page Ave ( Modesto , Burgerworx and Carmel’s Kitchen .) You’ll find great food and excellent people-watching! One of our favorite spots to grab lunch at the Grove Arcade is the Middle Eastern grab-and-go Baba Nahm . You can order online and it’s always fresh and delicious.

Summit Coffee is also located in the Grove Arcade. They are a roaster out of Davidson, NC and have great blends that are always a part of our mornings at home! Oh, and don’t miss Battery Park Book Exchange ! It’s a great spot to grab a book, a latte or a glass of champagne if you’re feeling fancy.

This stop is just down from Haywood Park Hotel and you can easily walk between the two. No need to wait for the trolley to make your way to the Grove Arcade,

Ok, that’s it for downtown stops on the trolley! Next up is the River Arts District !

Trolley Stop 7: River Arts District (North)

The Asheville Trolley stops twice in the River Arts District (RAD), which is great because there are two distinct parts of it. It’s walkable, though, but just…. bring your walking shoes if you decide to do that instead of taking the trolley! We’ll highlight a few things about the RAD here, but if you want all the details then hop over to our full guide to the River Arts District !

The Hatchery building in the River Arts District with picnic tables in front of it for Baby Bull customers

The first stop in the RAD takes you to the northern part of the district. Here you’ll find one of my favorites to peek in and watch in awe: the North Carolina Glass Center . Not only can you catch a glimpse of what they have going on, but they also offer classes , like the 30-minute make-your-own ornament or paperweight class. And, of course, you can shop there too!

In addition to the glass center, there are a ton of other studios and galleries around. We love checking out the working Mark Bettis Studio Gallery . There you’ll find paintings, sculptures, glassworking and more. Close by is the Hofman Studios , an artist-owned pottery studio featuring handbuilt porcelain that use antique lace to create patterns. All of the pieces are just so beautiful and unique there. It’s a great place to grab a special souvenir.

Exterior of The Bull and Beggar at Wedge Studios

As far as eats and drinks go, Ultra Coffee has awesome coffee and breakfast sandwiches! The Bull and Beggar is also in this area, though it’s only open for dinner. Wedge Brewing Company has two locations in the RAD, one of which is in this area. They are open in the afternoons and feature a rotating list of food trucks. If you are looking for a grab-and-go lunch option, check in to the newly opened MOTHER Bread to see if they have a jambon beurre sandwich (ham and butter!) ready to go. They also make great pour-overs.

Explore a new area of the RAD

Now, here’s where you decide if you want to backtrack to take the trolley from where you were initially dropped off in the RAD or if you will continue your walking tour to another mini-part of the area. If you opt to walk, you’ll pass by several more studios and restaurants that you would otherwise miss. We recommend it if you have time!

Curve studios in the River Arts District

If you decide to explore, take a stroll down toward the Lyman St traffic circle. Take a right there to check out CURVE studios or continue straight to get to another set of studios and eats. Fresh Wood Fired Pizza , Grind AVL coffee shop and PennyCup Coffee are all located on the way. Psst: both coffee shops are on our best coffee shops in Asheville list ! The restaurant Vivian is also located here and is a great spot for dinner or brunch!

You’ll have to turn around to get to the next area of the RAD, and then you can either hop on the trolley to get to the next stop or walk. If you walk, take the traffic circle from Lyman Street toward Riverside Ave. There’s a river walk there that will take you down to the next area of the RAD. It would be fun on a really nice weather day to stretch your legs, but you may want to skip the walk and take the trolley back. Either way, next stop: River Arts District part 2!! 🙂

Trolley Stop 8: River Arts District (South)

This is such a fun stop on the Asheville Trolley! Here you’ll find art studios, eateries and a ton of large graffiti murals. Woodworking, glassworking, galleries, antique stores and even an indoor skatepark are all within walking distance.

cropped-Sign-Map-River-Arts-District-Asheville.jpg

Riverview Station is a large, two-story building that features the work of over 60 local artists, craftspeople and entrepreneurs. There you’ll find jewelry, paintings, photography, textiles, ceramics, sculptures and glass. Marquee is also a great stop for art, antiques, decor and jewelry. Marquee has grab-and-go food and a taproom!

The Summit Coffee Co building in the RAD

Speaking of eating, 12 Bones Smokehouse (ribs!!), Summit Coffee and Wedge Brewery ‘s second location are all located pretty close to one another in this area of the RAD. We love grabbing a beer at Wedge Brewery at Foundation and a burger from the Chop Shop food truck there. A+ beer, burgers and outdoor seating! Unlike the rotating food truck vendor list at Wedge Brewery at Wedge Studios (north RAD), their Foundation location features the Chop Shop’s truck daily. Further south, you’ll find Rosabees and Plēb Urban Winery .

Whew, what a day so far! Next up: Biltmore Village! Well, kind of….

Trolley Stop 9: DoubleTree Biltmore Village

No need to hop off at the DoubleTree stop unless you are staying at the property! I really do love that the trolley stops at several hotels along the way- it makes it so easy for visitors.

Trolley Stop 10: Biltmore Village

Alright so here’s the real stop for Biltmore Village. You’ll be dropped off right in front of the Olde World Christmas Shop , so be prepared to feel festive.

Outdoor seating at Well-Bred bakery in Biltmore Village

Biltmore Village is a historic area and just as charming as can be! It’s across from the Biltmore Estate entrance and was originally built to house the employees. Today it is full of shopping and dining opportunities. You’ll find everything from local shops like Dogwood Darlings Children’s Boutique and Provisions Mercantile to bigger stores like Williams-Sonoma and Lululemon . Finch and Well-Bred are both great places to pop in for an afternoon treat, and Cantina has excellent Mexican food!

That’s a wrap!

What a day! This is the last stop of the tour before the trolley heads back to the Asheville Visitor Center in Montford. And then you can do it all again!

Speaking of, did you know your ticket is good for TWO days on the trolley ? This is awesome if you missed something and want to circle back or maybe you just want to try different restaurants this time around. Having two days definitely takes the pressure off of needing to see it all the first time.

We hope you enjoy your trip on the trolley! See below for details on the trolley’s schedule, pricing and answers to a few things you may be wondering about the Asheville Trolley. Happy riding! 🙂
