Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary — one of America’smost feared prisons — sits deep in the mountains of East Tennessee. Known as The End of the Line, Brushy housed murderers, gang leaders, escape artists, and James Earl Ray, the man convicted of assassinating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. In this episode of The Haunting Truth, we explore theprison’s violent past, the Coal Creek War, the infamous 1977 escape, the Barkley Marathons, and the ghosts that visitors still claim to encounter today.
