Description

Good to Know

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.

Definitely worth it

Super funny and great guide! He is an amazing story teller and weaved in funny tid bits with historical folklore from the surrounding mountains and even some of his own folklore from Scotland. Had a great time and got to check out some cool bars along the way!

Angus is a gifted storyteller and host, and the pubs were amazing local businesses with delicious beverages! You'll get a really fun and interesting experience of Asheville through this pub crawl, and I'm so glad I went!

Angus is a delight and I...

Angus is a delight and I can't recommend his tour enough! He may have ruined me sleeping with my windows open because of his vivid story telling, but I guess that just means he's great at what he does!

Fantastic evening!

This crawl was so much fun and very informative. Cryptid tales can differ between storytellers and it's always cool to hear unique takes on them. Our guide, Angus, was the best!
