Walk in the cell of Henry Lee Lucas, the ‘Confession Killer,’ at Nightmare on Jail Hill

Enter if you dare...

WILLIAMSON COUNTY, Texas — Halloween is right around the corner and if you're in the mood for some thrills, you might be able to spot a few ghosts in Williamson County.

The doors at the Williamson County Jail will open on Friday for their annual Nightmare on Jail Hill event.

Those who dare to enter will get to walk through the hallways and cells that housed inmates between 1889 and 1990. One of those inmates includes Henry Lee Lucas, who was infamously known as the "Confession Killer."

Lucas was convicted of murdering his mother and several others, but he rose to fame after he confessed to about 600 other murders while in prison. However, an investigation by the Dallas Times-Herald newspaper raised many questions and doubts about his confessions, according to the Associated Press.

Here's a look at ticket information:

  • Fast Pass: $25
