5 places, each confirmed for 2026 on its own website. Updated Oct 9.
Haunted housesTrails & hayridesGhost toursNot too scary
Dread Hollow is the one to beat in Chattanooga. It's more than 25,000 square feet of indoor sets, moving from a hotel full of escaped experiments to a cursed forest to the ruins of a high school. Heads up: it's entirely cashless, and tickets are online only, by time slot. Babies aren't allowed, and they advise parental discretion for anyone under 12. If you want rides with your scares, Lake WinnepeSPOOKah in Rossville, Georgia, keeps the midway open and adds three haunted houses. The haunts open an hour after the gates.
This list is on the short side, since I only include places that posted 2026 dates. Want something underground? The Ruby Falls Lantern Tour is an after-hours Friday cave walk by lantern light, ages 10 and up, $42.95. It's not really a ghost tour. It's a cave, in the dark. Ringgold Haunted Depot, also over in Georgia, mixes mild scares with a hayride, a ghost walk and a bonfire starting Oct 16.
A big indoor haunt in town, an amusement park that adds haunted houses after dark and a haunted depot in Ringgold.
