HAUNTED ASHEVILLE SELF-GUIDED DRIVING TOUR!
Asheville has so many ghost stories. Tales of the haunted, the creepy, the eerie, and the outright macabre mark the landscape here with sites that locals love - or fear. This area, high ground near the confluence of two rivers, has a lengthy history of human occupation. It has seen skirmishes and wars, influxes of tourists and tuberculosis patients, booms and busts, and plenty of tragedy. Asheville, and the surrounding mountains, have also hosted numerous writers, musicians, and folklorists who have promoted (if not possibly created) some of these legends. Perhaps these are some of the reasons lore permeates the streets, hills, and valleys of this mountain city. You can see many of these sites for yourself ... if you dare.
👻👉 The WNC Historical Association at the Smith-McDowell House created this 22.5 mile self guided tour for you to enjoy. Map HERE: https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/d3b455f9dc674f60b3cfa53c7d30cf98
