From haunted caves to ghost tours to an eerie train ride, Halloween haunts offer a variety of ways to scare and entertain you. The Chattanooga area this year is filled with creative new attractions that go beyond houses that feature a man with a hatchet stuck in his head or a scary face that glows under a black light.
You can find those, too, but the list of attractions this year also includes storytellers sharing spooky tales and venues that include a giant fish tank (several actually), a cave, a depot, a lodge, a hilltop, a train, a trail, an island and a village.
