About Gatlinburg Haunts

Beneath the bubbly mountain charm of Gatlinburg lays the stuff of nightmares. There are strange things in the foggy woods and steep hills of Tennessee, and Gatlinburg has more than its fair share of strangeness.

Today, Gatlinburg is a tourist hotspot and one of the premier destinations in the south, but at one point, Gatlinburg was a rough frontier town, and a scratch of the surface of its history shows it.

Why is Gatlinburg so haunted?

Guidelines

Remain calm.

It probably isn’t the river bank monster you hear…

Be polite.

Even if it is the River Bank monster, be polite, we hear it responds to reason.

Do not provoke the spirits.

Whatever you do, don’t poke the River Bank monster.

Stay together.

If a fog rolls in, please stay extra together, maybe even buddy up.

Watch your step.

Icy paths do ghosts a’ make – should probably be a Gatlinburg motto. Stay safe!
