While Tennessee might not be the first place you think to go for a pre-Halloween getaway, the state has plenty of spooks and scares to help you celebrate the season. Here are a few favorites.

 

Attend Dollywood’s Great Pumpkin LumiNights

Explore Cheekwood Harvest

For more fall décor in abundant numbers, head to Cheekwood Harvest. The event takes place at Cheekwood Estate in Nashville, where more than 75,000 pumpkins and 4,000 chrysanthemums cover the landscape. The event runs through Oct. 27.

 

Get in Touch with Some Ghosts at the Mabry-Hazen House

If you’re in Knoxville the week before Halloween, experience a 19th-century séance at Mabry-Hazen House. The event takes place Oct. 24–27 inside the house museum also home to more than 2,500 artifacts.

 

Test Your Mettle at Bell Witch Cave

Every fan of the paranormal knows Bell Witch Cave. See the haunted spot for yourself during the best time of all: spooky season. Take a paranormal tour or haunted hayride, or just visit for a daytime hayride and historic tour.
