The scariest stories in Chattanooga, TN

With only a few weeks left until Halloween, we’re sharing some of the most terrifying tales around Chattanooga.
In past years, the Chattanooga Chamber put out a call for scary stories and found that the INCubator in the Hamilton County Business Development Center has had its own apparition — a woman wearing a white flowing dress. After renovations of the building, the spirit seemed to move on.
The Chamber of Commerce also directed us to this eerie spot. Employees of the downtown building on Market Street have reported unusual activity — from strange, unexplained noises to sightings of a “blurry cloud” at the end of the hallway.
Boo! I bet you weren’t expecting to see me here. I’m a national editor who pops into different cities from time to time. I have loved being in Chattanooga, especially seeing all of the fall fun that is coming up.
