Overview

The Boojum, Mothman, the Brown Mountain Lights - the stuff of Appalachian legend… or is it? Join Angus, your kilted Highland storyteller, as he leads you through four unique Asheville pubs, sharing strange encounters, sinister lore, and tales of creatures said to still haunt the region.
This evening pub crawl weaves history, myth, and the eerie unknown - from hidden alleys to quiet taverns, some legends may be closer than you think.

Your guide through Appalachian folklore has spent decades on stage as a professional actor, director, and fight choreographer, so expect a fully immersive night, not just a walking tour.

*Brewery stops are subject to change due to events or availability at individual venues.

What's Included

  • A progressive storytelling tour of Asheville’s local legends
  • Theatrical kilted guide
  • Four-pub guided crawl through Asheville's famous South Slope
  • Drinks (available for purchase)
  • Food (recommended to eat beforehand)
