Hometown Ghost Stories

Hometown Ghost Stories dives into the history of haunted locations and investigates why and how these places earned their terrifying reputation.

You can even join the show - as many do, during the live broadcasts on YouTube, Tuesday nights at 9pm EST, as we talk ghosts, demons, poltergeists, and the horrifying true tales that led to these hauntings.

In Asheville, North Carolina, history doesn’t fade so much as it settles in. A narrow alley remembers a violent night, and some say it still answers back after dark.  Inside one of the city’s oldest homes, the sounds of children drift through empty rooms while something far heavier lingers below.  Not all of Asheville's past stayed buried, and some of it still haunts the streets and homes of the city today.Become a supporter on Pa...
