Legend has it that Ashburn got its name when lightning struck an ash tree that burned and smoldered for a week. But was lightning really the cause? When we reveal the other horrors from that sinister night, you’ll have to wonder.
The haunt is not recommended for the faint of heart, or children under 13 years of age.
