Go ghost hunting at Falcon Rest
falcon-rest-2
Falcon Rest is offering a Tag-Along Ghost Hunt on Oct. 30 and 31.

Spend Halloween with the spirits of Falcon Rest on Oct. 30 and 31 on a Tag-Along Ghost Hunt.
For the sixth Halloween season, would-be ghost hunters can follow actual paranormal investigators for a tag-along ghost hunt at the historic, and historically haunted, Falcon Rest Mansion.
Debbie Shapiro, James Jones and the Ghost Hunters of Southern Tennessee team will again lead the groups, expecting to add more evidence of otherworldly inhabitants to that obtained during previous years.
The more Shapiro investigates Falcon Rest, the more convinced she is the mansion is really haunted. Ghost-hunt participants from years past who have already signed up for the 2015 event heartily agree.
The evening will begin at 6:30 p.m. with a presentation of evidence gathered thus far, and an introduction to paranormal investigation techniques. A walk-through tour of the mansion recounting its history and ghostly experiences of previous visitors will follow. 
Groups will then venture outside and inside the mansion using a combination of audio and video equipment, along with specialized “ghost hunting” computer software, infrared temperature gauges and probes to seek out its spectral residents.
Tickets are $30 each plus tax, and advance reservations are required. Call 931-668-4444 or email falconrest@falconrest.com.
