The Haunted Magic Mansion in Boyd's Creek is a place that sparks the curiosity and fear in both locals and tourists alike. This historic mansion, located just outside of Sevierville, Tennessee, is said to be haunted by the spirits of its former residents. Built in the 1800s, the mansion has a rich and mysterious past. It was originally owned by a wealthy family who lived there for several generations. However, tragedy struck when a fire engulfed the mansion, claiming the lives of the entire family. Ever since that fateful night, people have reported strange occurrences and eerie sightings within the mansion's walls.
“Also, everything the house is original period style from the 1880′s, 1890′s. Things I’ve been collecting over the years, so all the furniture is unique to this time period,” he said.
There are plenty of haunted places in the Smokies that will send shivers down your spine, but this list of ghost stories and haunted places in the Smoky Mountains are some of the most spine-tingling, spookiest spots in East Tennessee to visit on your fall Pigeon Forge cabin vacation. Early settlers in the Smokies named this barren, craggy rockface The Devil s Courthouse for its sinister appearance which led them to create a tale that the Devil himself held court in the cave underneath the diabolical-looking cliff.
Ever since that fateful night, people have reported strange occurrences and eerie sightings within the mansion's walls. Visitors claim to have heard footsteps, whispers, and even seen apparitions of the family members who perished in the fire. The spirits are said to be restless, perhaps searching for closure or seeking to communicate with the living.

NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART and most definitely an “adult” themed tour! Gettysburg has often been called the most Haunted town in America. There are many ways people and places can become haunted. Your guide will explore this theme with you, with no holds barred, in bone chilling, blood curdling detail, with nothing left to the imagination, as you walk through the village of Gettysburg. Other topics could include the Paranormal experience, Victorian death, Mourning, and burial practices, (or the lack of it), as well as the more “intimate” secrets/lives of the period and its consequences. By the conclusion of the tour, your guide should have you convinced that Gettysburg has definitely earned its moniker. The tour also includes a visit to the often-investigated cellar.

1. Susan - 1 star - This haunted magic mansion in Boyd's Creek was a complete disappointment. The scares were so predictable and amateurish. It felt like a low-budget Halloween event that would be more suitable for children, but even they might find it cheesy and unimpressive. The actors lacked enthusiasm and failed to create any sense of fear or suspense. The props and decorations were outdated and not at all convincing. Overall, I was extremely disappointed with the experience and would not recommend it to anyone seeking a genuine haunted house experience.
2. Mark - 2 stars - The Haunted Magic Mansion in Boyd's Creek didn't live up to its hype. The scares were lackluster and felt more like a cheap carnival ride than a haunted house.
