There will also be musical guests nightly with DJ Queen Dea on the 13th, the Ringgold Depot Opry on the 14th, Courtney Daly and the Grind from the 20th-21st, and Moon Juice playing out the final two nights on the 27th and 28th.The DDA will hold a costume contest on Saturday, the 28th, as the event's grand finale this year.
Admission to the Haunted Depot is $15, Ghost Tours are $7, and Hay Rides are $5. A combo package can be purchased for $23, granting admission to all attractions. You can buy tickets in person only at the event.
A previous attendee of the Haunted Depot says of the event, "Exhilarating!! Liked the scenes and the horror. It was done so well. The actors knew their craft really well and executed to perfection. The ghost tour was quite interesting. Great learning about the history and the past. It was a bus full of people and we went about all the creepy places. Stories about the doctor were interesting. It was an amazing night!!”
