The Read House’s Room 311 in Chattanooga, known as Annalisa Netherly’s room – the woman said to haunt the facilities after, as the debated legend goes, she was nearly decapitated in a bathtub by a former lover (though some suggest she committed suicide in her own jealous rage) – has been opened for bookings for every Thursday in October – 3, 10, 17, 24 and Halloween night – for a one-night stay.
The limited dates mark the only times that the restored Room 311 will be avaliable to book this year, a press release obtained by Fox News stated. According to website, however, only Halloween night is still up for grabs.

“After reading all accounts of haunted Room 311, we knew the best thing to do was to restore the room to make Annalisa Netherly comfortable with no modern amenities. And we are excited to welcome new guests to share her room,” said general manager Ken Merkel, in a statement to Forbes. “Room 311 looks and feels like Annalisa’s room in the 1920s. There is an AM radio that does not work, a vintage clawfoot tub, an original pull chain toilet, antique furnishings, and distressed hardwood floors just like it would have been in the early twentieth century and no television.”
