I love that the story is based on real places and whilst the events in this book did not happen, establishments like Lichen Hall did exist and it’s scary to think of the trauma’s many young women and children faced in such recent times.

A group of college students set out for a weekend getaway at an isolated cabin, each one representing a classic horror movie character stereotype—the jock dude, his alluring girlfriend, the bookish virgin, the stoner buddy. The first 2 floors where the family lived were decorated lavishly but the upper floor has witnessed many horror stories. The best haunted houses in Middle Tennessee are usually open from Friday to the weekend for the entire month of October.

In 1965, 22-year old nurse Pearl lost everything after the “shame” of her pre-marital pregnancy got around town.

Haunted houses in Middle Tennessee are open throughout October, with special events on Halloween night. This no budget supernatural horror flick terrified moviegoers in the late 1990s and left more than a few with a queasy stomach thanks to its disorienting handheld camera approach.But perhaps the most well-known site is the Witch's Castle—a name given to crumbling ruins found deep in the park. One such story involves a farmer who killed his family and buried them at the center of the circle of trees near the barn.
