Kentucky Wildlands features twelve haunted trail stops

The Kentucky Wildlands Haunted Trail features twelve locations documented for unexplained spirits, tragic legends, and paranormal activity.

One notable stop is the Paramount Theatre in Ashland, Kentucky. Built in the early 1930s, the venue is said to be haunted by a worker known as ‘Paramount Joe,’ who died by suicide involving the theatre's curtain ropes. Local lore suggests that Billy Ray Cyrus once encountered the spirit while filming a music video at the location. Staff and performers have reported various phenomena, including sudden temperature drops, unexplained noises, and automated equipment malfunctions.
