Tucked away on the edge of Athens, TN, lies a place so terrifying, even the locals keep their distance.
After over 200 years of death, madness, and murder, the building is now consumed by something darker—something that refuses to rest.
If you dare to enter, be prepared to face your worst nightmares—because they’re already waiting for you.

Chattanooga's top rated Haunted Attraction.
Hidden in the shadows of the valley lies Dread Hollow — a town poisoned by its own wicked history and haunted by the spirits of the forsaken. What began as a peaceful settlement turned into a breeding ground for terror, forever marked by the cruelty of one woman: Mercy Harker.
People simply vanish from Dread Hollow, fate unknown… their names and lives swallowed by the curse Mercy left behind.
Those who dare to enter feel it instantly — the heavy stillness, whispered voices carried on the wind, and the unsettling certainty that something is watching. Waiting. Hungry.

Screamville Haunted Attraction to celebrate their 11th season of fear! Screamville is a mostly outdoor haunted attraction located in an enormous cornfield.
This attraction is easy to locate when using GPS. There is a lit sign right off the main road to indicate where you’ll need to turn. Parking attendants will help you get parked in the grass lot. You’ll have to go through security before entering and immediately come upon the ticket booth. Once you purchase your tickets, everything else is easy to locate with all the signage.
Screamville has a sinister backstory. Virgil Branson bought the land expecting to raise his family there, but the land ended up being cursed, and corn was the only thing that would grow. His wife became lost to the corn and the creatures within. Will you become lost to the corn just like Sarah, or will you make it out alive?

Our massive custom-designed wagons — pulled by new John Deere tractors — carry you across the farm between worlds. The ride itself is part of the experience. Out in the open. In the dark. Across 85+ acres of working farmland. Something may be watching from the tree line. Something may already be on the wagon with you.
In 1941 during the Great Depression, many people perished from the tolls of hard times. Poverty, hunger, and anger at the world fueled emotions. Those who perished during these times were often not given a proper burial due to the lack of money. As were their bodies not laid to rest, neither were their spirits. These spirits haunted their old homes, places of employment, and city streets with an endless amount of anger. Many cities dealt with this in different ways, some just suffering through the day to day agony of things stolen by spirits, not sleeping during the night because of the insistent pacing of hallways and stairs, and the fear of how far the spirits would go to remove the living from the homes they used to own. The city of Greensboro would have had to suffer through these day to day agonies if it weren’t for a local priest. This local priest exercised and bound these spirits to a plot of land twelve miles from the city limits. This local priest, not knowing where to keep these spirits to where they could not harm anyone, bound them to a plot of land that he himself owned, on the outskirts of town. This priest was Eddie Howie McMillan , the great grandfather to Eddie Howie McLaurin.
In 1970, Father McMillan passed away and deeded this land to his great great grandson Eddie H. McLaurin, who was only four months in his mother’s womb. As you would guess for twenty years, these spirits stayed bound to this patch of land. Over his childhood and early adult years, Eddie learned what his grandfather had done, and what exactly inhabited the woods. As time passed, Eddie learned the true power of the spirits and how important it was to keep them imprisoned here. Eddie also learned how to handle and control these spirits through the Holy Spirit, which came upon him after accepting Christ as his Savior at the age of thirteen. He could not control these spirits alone, only through Jesus who controls all things. Not only did he learn to handle and control the existing spirits, he also learned how to capture other spirits that are not among the living and not among the dead, and release them into the same plot of land that his grandfather before him did. This plot of land is known as Purgatory to the spirits, and to humans, it is Woods of Terror.
Nestled right off the main road in the small historic town of Dayton, TN, is a restaurant that takes comfort food seriously. This is a place where everything is handcrafted from tap to table, and the service starts with care. This hidden gem is for those who live off the beaten path and look back saying, "I can't wait to go back there." However, despite the lively and welcoming nature of Carrabelle's during service. Something lurks in the shadows when the last guest finally leaves, and the grill begins to cool. A woman with an animosity towards men wanders the dining room and paces the bathrooms, unseen...Yet not unheard. Especially to those stuck closing late into the night. When the lights finally go off and the doors are locked, Carrabelle's shifts from a warm, friendly atmosphere to something far less welcoming....
The Bludgeon family is a murderous, twisted, inbred, backwoods family that has been plaguing the locals for decades. They may be responsible for hundreds of missing, tortured, and murdered victims. Several of the Bludgeon family members have been arrested over the years, but none were ever convicted. Unfortunately, no witnesses survived to testify against any of the family members. Some witnesses simply disappeared, others died around mysterious circumstances.
The few people that still remember, say the family was very secluded; doing everything for themselves at the farm. Raising their own crops, slaughtering their own meat, and even performing medical and dental procedures on each other. That is until they fell onto hard times. Witnesses reported that they were using black magic to experiment on the crops, the poor farmhands, and the surrounding neighbors.
They created unnatural abominations in their attempt to make the farm more profitable. Being unsuccessful in the end, the farm was foreclosed on by authorities. What the police found was a gruesome scene of human corpses and some disturbing, unspeakable creatures.
Deep down County Road 45, past the main stretches of town where the Tennessee River valley mists roll thick over the asphalt, lies a forgotten stretch of land. Locals whisper about travelers who took wrong turns down unpaved cut-offs late at night and ran into things left behind by time—derelict farmsteads, figures moving silently through the timber, and a legacy of roadside phantoms. The attraction transforms these dark, wooded back roads into an interactive nightmare where the line between local rural myth and live-actor terror completely disappears.
