The (Very Scary) Mysterious Mansion In Gatlinburg
It’s October with Halloween approaching scary fast, but any time is good to visit the Mysterious Mansion in Gatlinburg. This three-level haunted attraction is open throughout the year and has been scaring the young and old since 1980. How young? Experience suggests older than about 7-8 years – experience it yourself before you take very young ones, or friends who don’t like too much fright. This is a very scary place.
