Nightmares return to Lookout Mountain for the sixth year as Ruby Falls hosts its annual Haunted Cavern.

“We are thrilled to continue to offer a premium haunted attraction experience like no other in the Chattanooga area, said Kara Van Brunt, director of operations and strategic development for Ruby Falls. “The story, set, characters, and theme are all new so that our loyal followers will always get something unique and unexpected around every corner.”

Back by popular demand is a jarring, screeching ride in the “hellevator,” among many other shocks along the way. This intense event takes place both above and below ground and is considered one of the area’s most extreme haunted attractions.
