Construction of the Haunted Depot is underway
The Downtown Development Authority announces the city of Ringgold staff and volunteers have started the construction for the 11th year of the Ringgold Haunted Depot.
Parks and Recreation Director Stephen Middlebrooks and volunteer Daniel Wright head up the crew that transforms the Historic Ringgold Depot into one of Ringgold’s most popular events. Every year for the last three weekends in October, Ringgold hosts a haunted house event, which also includes a ghost tour hayride, a hayride and bonfire, live entertainment, and face painting. This year they have also added an inflatable bounce house to give the younger kids another option.
Mr. Middlebrooks said, “This year there will be all new props with the exception of one room that will return from last year.”
Doctor Ronal Graham who heads up the volunteers for the event said, “We still have some volunteer positions available. If you would like to be a ghost tour narrator or driver, contact us.”
Opening night will be Friday, Oct. 13.
The Haunted Depot will be Friday and Saturday, starting at 7 p.m., Oct. 13, 14, 20, 21, 27 and 28. The Depot is at 155 Depot St. in Ringgold.
Ticket prices are $10 for the Haunted Depot, $7 for the ghost tour hayride, and $3 for the hayride and bonfire.
Funds from the Ringgold Haunted Depot assist the DDA in making improvements throughout the community.
