“THE BEST SHOWMANSHIP” -USA TODAY
SEE GHOSTS
Asheville wasn’t always pleasant – in fact, this quaint mountain town was once the hub for all hangings in Western North Carolina. Mental institution fires, skyscraper suicides, and the legend of a swine infused man await you around every corner.
HAVE A BEER
Don’t forget the brews! We depart from The LaZoom Room where you can grab a beer for the road and enjoy one on a plush velveteen chair while you wait to board. The LaZoom Room has a great selection of beer, wine, snacks and non-alcoholic beverages for purchase to enjoy there or take on the bus.
SCREAM YOUR ASHE OFF
Most ghost tours will show you ‘orbs’ or phantom apparitions, but on Ghosted, you’ll see real (real actors, that is) murders upclose and personal. While this tour does have a few screams, it’s got waaay more laugh out loud moments.
SOUND LIKE FUN?
What You’ll experience
Explore the dark side of Beer City on LaZoom’s Ghosted Tour! Learn about Asheville’s strange, sometimes sordid past from our ghoulish guides. You’ll laugh! You’ll scream! You’ll discover mysteries and chilling tales of scandal and murder on the blood-stained streets of this picturesque town!
