Haunted Cavern At Ruby Falls Prepares To Scare

The Ruby Falls Haunted Cavern reveals new terrors after dark at 8 p.m., beginning Sept. 26, back for its sixth year as one of the area’s most intense haunted attractions. This extreme haunt takes place both above and below ground every Friday and Saturday night, Sept. 26–Oct. 10, then every Thursday through Sunday, Oct. 15–Nov. 1.

“Wyrmwood Asylum at the Haunted Cavern will go down in history as one of the best haunted attractions in the southeast if not one of the best in the country,” said Todd Patton with Fear Connection. “Our team has outdone themselves as we have passionately woven a web of insanity and fear for everyone. From the moment you drop 260 degrees below the surface, your life at Wyrmwood Asylum will be unforgettable.”

In 1975, Ruby Falls hired Cowin Engineering Company of Birmingham to blast an alternate exit into the Ruby Falls Tourist Attraction. This exit also unsealed the Wyrmwood Asylum ‘Vault,’ a term used by patients who knew once you entered, you never returned. The worst criminals across the country were transferred here. The souls of these ghostly images still linger in the depths of the cave. Dare you enter?

Back by popular demand is the Hellevator. Go to www.hauntedcavern.com for classified information on characters to watch out for and other critical info.

Todd Patton and Tim Green with Fear Connection began working as a team for Ruby Falls Haunted Cavern in 2006 and this is their fourth year developing, designing and managing the event. They have also helped with a few small independent films and assisting with other haunts in the U.S.
