LAFOLLETTE, TN (WLAF) – If you’re looking for something fun and a little spooky this October, then take a tour on the downtown LaFollette Ghost Walk.
Local story teller Allan Miller brings both ghosts and history alive as you stroll along the downtown streets of LaFollette listening to accounts of murder, mayhem, gunfights, mysteries and more.
Miller is offering a walking tour of downtown LaFollette every weekend this month.  Beginning at Sergeant’s Park at 8 and 10 pm on weekends,
Miller has been conducting these tours for over a decade now and has continued to gather stories and legends about the “mysterious” haunts of LaFollette.
He started the tours in 2009 after going on a field trip with his daughter to Alexandria, Virginia, and taking a haunted history tour.
“It was awful,” according to Miller, whose wife then suggested he should start a tour himself.
Through research of the area, Miller has stories dating back to when LaFollette resembled a wild west town to more recent history such as a shooting on Tennessee Ave. and the fallout from it.
Stories on the tour include the old post office, the LaFollette House, Big Creek and much more.
“There is so much about LaFollette that people don’t know,” Miller said.
While the tour begins at Seargeant Park and ends there, Miller takes his guests on a winding walk through the streets and alleys of the town.
Tours are $10 per person and are usually at 8 pm and 10 pm on weekends.
