This week we are bringing you one of the most infamous stories that come from our favorite city, Asheville NC.

You can take a ghost tour, or 5, in Asheville and one story that is a must tell is the massacre that left 5 people dead, but seemed to have opened a portal for souls in one of our favorite spots in the city.

On November 13th 1906 29 year old Will Harris arrived in Asheville to surprise an old flame. But when he couldn't find her he went on a rampage, firing at anyone who dared to even look in his direction.

While his rampage covered a few city blocks, the building where Bailey's is currently located on Biltmore Ave. has seen spirits from that tragedy, and more. Having also been the site of the city gallows, it really is no surprise that many reports of paranormal activity have been given, right along side 5 star ratings for their amazing food and drinks.
