In 2003, the Pavo Haunted House was created by Sallie Ann Burgess in the front office of where she worked in downtown Pavo. The first one consisted of one room, a strobe and her husband with a mask and chainsaw.

By the second year, a couple of more rooms were added and it began attracting more guests. The haunted house of Pavo grew much larger when Burgess was approached by the city to build a Pavo Fall Festival around the haunted house.

Her partner, Ken Lasseter, asked to lend a helping hand in 2008.

“Without Ken, we would be at a great disadvantage. He is a bonified boogey man and a huge asset,” said Burgess.
