I will need your phone # to contact. The tour will not be given for less than 5 people. Limited slots available. If it rains, the tour may be moved to the next Saturday, or be cancelled.

You will hear local ghost stories of Ashe County as well as learn about some haunted History of the area. Theories on ghosts will be discussed as well as open opportunity to share your own ghost stories with the group as well. This is a story-telling adventure, not Ghost hunting, though I would like to explore that in the future.

The tour will last about 2 hours. Be sure to bring your walking shoes!

Zeea Darling will be your guide. She is local shop keeper of Great Southern Gothic: Curiosity Shoppe and Escape Room, Folk Story Teller, self-proclaimed "Wicked Witch of West Jefferson", Spiritualist and Paranormal Scholar.

Be sure to wear your walking shoes! We are going to walk around Downtown West Jefferson. I will not be dressed up like in the pictures below, but I do try to dress for the occasion. It makes it more fun.

This is recommended for adults & young adults. Please don’t drop a group of youngins off with me unattended, thanks!

Everyone will be responsible for their own safety while we walk on the streets and sidewalks.

What’s so scary about Ashe County?

Well you are about to find out, and it may just keep you up at night. Let the Wicked Witch of West Jefferson be your guide!

I will cover many paranormal subjects that connect with each other to provide a thoughtful discussion on the supernatural including magic, spirits in general, and the afterlife. I will tell my family and personal ghost stories as well as talk about spooky happenings all over Ashe through the years. I will tell you what makes this area so special, magical and dark. I will tell you about all the “haints” and “boogers” and how to protect yourself from them. We will be walking around Downtown West Jefferson and each location will prompt stories of different areas of Ashe. Please note, we will not actually be going inside of any buildings. This will all be outside at murals and other locations. Normally we would go into the Old Hotel, but it is currently under construction.

It is likely, that if you are reading this, you have had your own paranormal experiences and I allow guests to tell their own stories. I welcome questions, pictures and intellectual, taboo discussions among the group. My Ghost Tours are thought-provoking social events. I would say, don’t bring anyone younger than around the age of 12, but decide at your own discretion what you think your kids can maturely handle. We will be talking about tragic and violent deaths, murder, Folk Magic/Metaphysical studies, History and Philosophy all wrapped up with some humor. I have been studying these things all my life. Having grown up in this area of Appalachia, Folktales are an important part of my heritage. If any of the things mentioned personally offends you, then please don’t come to this event. If you choose to attend, just approach it with an open mind and ,hopefully, be entertained. There are actually plenty of dark history stories that I could tell, but have decided to avoid. But never fear! There are many other things I have been “dying” to tell you!
