LAFOLLETTE, TN (WLAF) – This week’s business article features a local October favorite. The haunting season is here and what better time to learn about “murder and mayhem” on a downtown LaFollette ghost tour led by local historian Allan Miller. 

Miller brings both ghosts and history alive as you stroll along the downtown streets of LaFollette listening to historical accounts of murder, mayhem, gunfights, mysteries and more.

Miller is offering a walking tour every weekend this month. Miller has been conducting these tours for more than a decade now and has continued to gather stories and legends about the “mysterious” haunts of LaFollette.

He even has a new story he added to the tour last year called “the Stomp Sisters.”

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.

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. Come hear all about it, and the shootouts in the streets … Oh and the ghosts,” 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 Friday and Saturday nights at 8 pm.

He is also available for private tours of 10 or more.  For more information or to contact him, visit his Facebook page at Allan Miller’s Ghostwalk LaFollette. (WLAF NEWS PUBLISHED – 10/08/2021-6AM)
