Meet the Guides
Beth – Hello, my name is Beth. I am known as a “Half-Back”. Born in Ohio, then moved and lived in Florida for 40 years, residing in North Carolina for the past 5 years now, half-way back and at home for good. My mother is from Black Mountain and these mountains are in my blood. I love Asheville with its rich history, architecture, and great ghost legends. I have always been intrigued with the paranormal, it is one of my passions. You could say it is a family affair, my 2 daughters and my husband of 30 years are all ghost tour guides. My son and his family live in Asheville as well. I have been employed with the ghost tours for 5 years and I am grateful to be doing a job that I love and guiding the tours is a great pleasure for me. I look forward to meeting you and entertaining you and your family.
Jan – Hi, my name is Jan and I look forward to taking you on the Ghost & Haunt Tour of Asheville. I absolutely love Asheville and everything about it–from its history to the beautiful mountains. I moved here from West Palm Beach, Florida. Everyone asks me if I miss the beach, but I don’t because the mountains are where I belong. While in Florida I owned and operated a horse farm. Now, in my “other life” I am a writer who writes about horses during the day, and horses around at night by mkaing sure everyone has a great time visiting Asheville and the Ghost & Legends Tour. Please let me know you saw me on this website if I am priviliged enough to have you on my tour.

I work for a Chevrolet dealership as a technician and have for over 30 years. Currently employed at Asheville Chevrolet during the day, I am your ghost tour guide at night and on the weekends. I love being a ghost tour guide and I have always been interested in the paranormal. I love the rich history and sites of the mountains and I plan to retire here in Asheville. I hope you will come and explore Asheville on my tour and have a great time seeing the sites of Asheville’s great ghost and legends.
