In her captivating book, "Wicked Asheville: History and Haunts," Susan Cobb delves into the city's shadowy past, unearthing a trove of spine-tingling stories that will leave you questioning the boundaries of reality.
The Ghost of Battery Park Hotel
The Battery Park Hotel, a beloved Asheville landmark, has long been whispered to be haunted by the spirit of a young woman named Sarah. Legend has it that in the early 1900s, Sarah was tragically killed in a fire that ravaged the hotel. Since then, guests and staff have reported numerous encounters with her restless apparition.
Some claim to have seen Sarah's misty figure gliding through the hallways, while others have heard her faint sobs echoing through the vacant rooms. Even the hotel's resident ghost hunter, Marc DeMarco, has witnessed inexplicable phenomena that he attributes to Sarah's lingering presence.
The Curse of the Biltmore Estate
Perched on a hilltop overlooking Asheville, the opulent Biltmore Estate is a testament to the grandeur of the Gilded Age. However, beneath its gilded exterior lies a tale of tragedy and betrayal that has allegedly haunted the estate for generations.
Cobb reveals the tragic story of Edith Vanderbilt, the wife of George Vanderbilt, who is said to have been deeply unhappy in her marriage. According to legend, Edith's spirit roams the halls of Biltmore, seeking vengeance against those who wronged her.
Visitors to the estate have reported strange occurrences, including disembodied footsteps, flickering lights, and cold spots. Some believe that Edith's restless spirit continues to search for the love and happiness that eluded her in life.
The Mysterious Grave of Rachel Jackson
Tucked away in Riverside Cemetery lies the unmarked grave of Rachel Jackson, the beloved wife of President Andrew Jackson. Her untimely death at the age of 37 has been shrouded in mystery, with some speculating that she was poisoned by her husband.
Cobb explores the haunting legend surrounding Rachel's grave. It is said that on moonlit nights, her spirit can be seen hovering over her resting place, crying out for justice. Visitors who approach the grave are often overcome with feelings of sadness and unease.
The Haunted History of Vance Monument
Rising above Grove Arcade, Vance Monument is a towering tribute to North Carolina Governor Zebulon Baird Vance. However, beneath its patriotic exterior lies a less savory tale of violence and death.
Cobb uncovers the dark history of the monument, which was built on the site of a former slave market. Legend has it that the spirits of enslaved people still linger in the area, seeking revenge for the atrocities committed against them.
Visitors to Vance Monument have reported encounters with spectral figures and unexplained noises. Some claim to have heard the sound of chains rattling and the cries of tormented souls.
Susan Cobb's "Wicked Asheville: History and Haunts" is a captivating journey into the macabre heart of Asheville. Through painstaking research and firsthand accounts, Cobb paints a vivid portrait of the city's chilling past.
Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, Cobb's book will transport you to a world where the boundaries between reality and the supernatural blur. Prepare to be captivated by the haunting stories of Wicked Asheville and discover the dark secrets that lie beneath the surface of this charming mountain town.
