Haunted Brushy Mountain Prison - The End of the Line

Deep in the East Tennessee mountains, Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary was built from the Coal Creek War and the end of convict leasing. For 113 years, men were sent to the end of the line to dig coal inside a mountain that kept most of its secrets. Today the prison is a historic site, and visitors and paranormal investigators report shadow figures, whispering voices, and freezing cold spots in the halls.

In this episode of Destination Terror, a father searching for his missing four-year-old daughter follows her tiny footprints to the prison gate and finds it open. We also dig into the real history of Brushy Mountain, from the mines and the overcrowded cell blocks to James Earl Ray's famous 1977 escape and the hauntings people still talk about.

The story is original fiction inspired by the location. The history and reported hauntings are real.

Until next time, stay safe out there, until we meet at our next destination.
