Paranormal Investigation at Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary
Nestled deep in the remote hills of Morgan County, Tennessee, stands the infamous Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary, a prison with a long and violent history. Originally built in 1896 as a wooden structure, this complex housed inmates leased by the State for mining labor. The conditions were brutal—violence, disease, and mining accidents claimed many lives, while harsh punishments, inadequate healthcare, and beatings for underperformance added to the suffering.
On October 5th, Night Shift Paranormal will host a public paranormal investigation inside the walls of this notorious penitentiary. Over the years, reports of unexplained noises, shadowy figures, growls, mysterious lights, and even apparitions have circulated. Do these eerie encounters come from the spirits of former inmates and guards? Could the land's former Native American history be involved? Or is there something else at play?
Join the investigation as we search the depths of this historic prison for answers and evidence of what truly lingers within the walls of Brushy Mountain. More Info
