It seems as if everyone loves October. With Halloween just around the corner, here are some fun places to go near Milligan if you want to get a good scare.
In Elizabethton, there is a place called the Haunted Forest, known during the day as Becky Mountain Corn Maze. It is located at 110 Corn Maze Lane, Elizabethton, 37643 and offers several options: haunted hayrides, a haunted maze and the murder manor. To do all three attractions costs $20.
Another popular destination is Frightmare Manor. It is about an hour and 30 minutes from Milligan, located at 7588 W Andrew Johnson Hwy, Talbott, Tenn., 37877. Frightmare Manor is a haunted attraction that is based off of a serial killer that used to live there. The tickets are more expensive, however, if you buy the VIP pass for $45 you can get into all five attractions with minimum wait time in lines. The five attractions are Frightmare Manor, Rage, Backwoods, Carnevil and Lexer Jump. And if you are feeling particularly brave there is also Nightmare at Frightmare, which costs $15, but if you successfully eat something, drink something and do something, then you can get your money back.
For a haunted attraction closer to Milligan there is a ghost walk that takes you on a tour through downtown Jonesborough, giving historical background on the ghosts that haunt Tennessee’s oldest town. It is $30 a person for two people to do the ghost walk, but the bigger the group the smaller the price tag.
If you want to go to something that is not completely scary but still want a typical “fall corn maze” picture then Cleek Farms is the most affordable attraction on this list. For $10 you gain admission into the corn maze, a hayride around the property and access to the other seasonal attractions on the property. This is located in Kingsport at 2233 Cleek Rd, 37660.
