Tucked away in the rugged mountains of East Tennessee, Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary was more than just a prison—it was a place where darkness seeped into the very walls. A fortress of stone and steel, it housed some of the most dangerous criminals in the South, men whose stories of violence, escape, and despair still echo through the abandoned halls. But long after the last cell door slammed shut, whispers remain. Today on Southern Shadows, we step inside the legend of Brushy Mountain, where history and hauntings walk hand in hand.
Welcome to the End of the Line.
As always, listener discretion is advised.
