who has been to some? which are the best? are any of them worth ten bucks?

i usually go to one every year.


when i was ten, they had one in nashville called the haunted woods (not the same one they have now, it was actually in the woods) and it was the best. now they are all in the middle of town.

so what is the verdict?

CC Ive been to Andrew Jackson's home the Hermitage and the tour guides there say that things go on there that imply its haunted. Might look into that...

My parents married in '59 and set up housekeeping in a house in Cherry Creek area in White county. I believe the house is torn down now but mom told me some stories about what happened to them there. A woman who lived there prior to them was killed on the 2nd floor balcony by lightning, mom swore she haunted the place. PM me if you would like to hear the specific stories she told me that happened.

1st time I met Dale was when I was playing bball at bondecroft elementary...he came and talked to us, giving us pointers. Man that was 1974...he seemed so rough n tough....another sparta native that played for the phins was stan mitchell...I think Im right on this.

The Haunted Woods in Nashville isn't there anymore. Or atleast the one where you actually walked through the woods and through that school bus with Freddy Krueger on it. We went to the "Haunted Woods" last year, and it wasn't the same. It was basically a pitch black maze and wasn't nearly as large. Their might be one still at the old Prison near the Airport and Harding Road.

the original haunted woods was off the hook. the freddy bus was the best. i really miss that thing.

it was like 100 acres of real woods back in a field.

oh well everything is in the city now. bs

I was born and grew up in Nashville. We used to go to the Haunted Woods every Halloween. You always had to stand in line for awhile to get in, it was so crowded all the time. They must have kept it open real late on the weekend because I remember being there at 2 in the morning one time. They have another one near my parents' house in Franklin. I'll have to call them and ask them exactly where it is and I'll let you know.

hey dont get me wrong. real hauntings are the sh*t. i just fininshed a really good bell witch book. a little far fetched and hard to believe, but still good. it was wrote by the guy who married john bell's daughter elizabeth.

here is the amazon site for it.....really good read. hard to put it down.

bell witch


where are some good haunting spots around my area dan? we should get together and check them out. that stuff is very interesting. i will find out some info on the "ghost" that is around my family's farm here. and get back to ya.

No, I went to Overton. It was a lot nicer back then. I saw it recently and almost cried because it looked so run down. :cry:
