Beneath Patton Hall

They say the walls remember... Long-forgotten footsteps echo faintly through the cracked tile and dust-choked corridors of Patton Hall’s basement. The air is thick—not just with age, but with something else. Something watching. The old kitchen still bears the scent of extinguished fires, and the bar, once a place of revelry, now hosts shadows that move when no one’s there. As you wander through each haunted room, you’ll feel it—the chill that creeps up your spine, the sense that you’re not alone. This is no ordinary haunted house. This is a descent into the past’s darkest corners, where history refuses to stay buried. Visit JBMHH MWR Halloween Week for some screams, candy, bloody axe-throwing, photos, and more screams. $10 admission. October 29th & 30th - 3:30pm to 7:30pm. Halloween Night - 3:30pm to 8:30pm.

Oct 29 3:30 pm - 8:30 pm
