Ghost pretenders instill fear at most Halloween houses, but inside a few area buildings no pretense is needed.
Real spirits haunt the old South Pittsburg Hospital, Hales Bar Dam and Engel Stadium in Chattanooga, according to Stones River Paranormal Investigation.
Co-founder John McKinney names the buildings as the top three in a list of 10 most haunted places around Chattanooga.
“This is the real deal,” he said. “We don’t have anything set up. We just have our equipment, and we talk to ghosts.”
McKinney spoke before leading a tour this month of a building at Hales Bar Marina & Resort, the second most haunted place in the Chattanooga area.
