About The Owner


Sweet DreamZ Haunted House was founded in 2022, but Gregg has always had a passion for creativity. His journey began with constructing intricate forts as a child and has evolved into crafting his own haunted houses today. What truly excites him about haunted attractions is the diverse range of artistic skills they demand. This includes everything from designing and building sets to crafting special effects, special effects makeup, and performing as an actor. The only limit to what can be achieved is one's imagination, and Gregg has an abundance of it. His greatest satisfaction comes when customers, whom he affectionately calls "guests," are astounded and sometimes even flee in terror (albeit with a hint of humor).

Gregg brings over 20 years of experience to the haunted attraction industry. He started as a seasoned actor and stuntman, having lent his talents to three of Illinois's top ten haunted houses, performing both acting and various stunts.

About The Business


Gregg's extensive training encompasses a blend of formal classroom education and private lessons at some of Chicago's most prestigious acting institutions. These include renowned establishments like Act 1 Studios, Second City, and Players Workshop. His coursework covered a wide spectrum, including acting for both film and theater, Improv Acting, and Improv Comedy.

In addition to his acting training, Gregg devoted six years to the Chicago Stunt Team, where he served as the assistant instructor. As a former amateur boxer, he specialized in teaching stunt fighting techniques and executing a variety of daring stunts, including high falls and fire burns. Notably, he even performed a thrilling reenactment of the famous Flaming Jack Turner, involving a fiery high dive into Lake Michigan for the grand reopening of Navy Pier in Chicago.

With these formidable skills in tow, the goal is to infuse Sweet DreamZ Haunted House with a unique and unforgettable experience that sets it apart from other haunts and entertainment venues in North Alabama. The aim is to captivate and astonish visitors with Hollywood-style special effects, exceeding their expectations for entertainment while delivering spine-tingling scares.

The Making Of

Sweet DreamZ Haunted House

About the Property

  In the heart of Joppa, Alabama, where the humid air clings to the skin like a whispered secret, there lies a property steeped in shadow—a land where the past refuses to die. This place, now a whispering ruin, was once the pride of the Williams family, a dynasty whose history was as rich as the cotton fields that spread across their estate.

  The year was 1822, and the Williams family had just taken over the land, their sights set on expanding their flourishing cotton gin business. The wealth they amassed grew with each harvest, but so too did the dark rumors that swirled around their home. The locals spoke of strange lights flickering in the night and the eerie wails of a woman carried on the wind—tales dismissed as the ravings of superstitious minds.

  But then, the Great Depression hit, and the fortune of the Williams family withered like the cotton in their fields. By the 1940s, the grand estate was a ghost of its former self, the once-bustling cotton gin silent, its gears rusted and still. David Williams, the last of his line, was left with nothing but the memories of a time when the family’s name commanded respect and fear in equal measure.

  In the midst of this despair, the people of Joppa, a community bound by hardship, offered a lifeline—a sharecropping arrangement that would keep the land productive and the town fed. David became a local hero, his generosity a beacon of hope in a world gone cold. But even as the town rallied, a darker tale was unfolding within the walls of the Williams estate.

  David’s daughter, Ida, was the flower of the family, her beauty as renowned as her father’s wealth had once been. But Ida was not content to be a mere decoration in a gilded cage. Betrothed to Patterson, a wealthy but grim-faced dairy farmer, she found herself trapped in a future she did not want. Patterson was a man of means, his land sprawling and his fortune secure, but to Ida, he was a relic of an era that she longed to escape.

  Her heart belonged to another—a young man named Bill Knight, whose pockets were empty but whose soul was rich with the kind of love that poets sing of and that young women dream of. Together, they planned to flee the suffocating grasp of the Williams estate, to carve out a life far from the shadows that clung to Ida’s family.

  But fate, or perhaps something darker, had other plans. On a moonless night, as Ida and Bill met in the old apple orchard, Patterson followed, his heart black with jealousy and rage. In a moment of madness, he ended their dreams with a single gunshot. The bodies of Ida and Bill were found side by side beneath the twisted branches, their blood soaking into the earth that would never again bear fruit.

  From that night on, the land was cursed. Crops withered in the fields, and the very soil seemed to recoil from the memory of the blood that had been spilled. The townsfolk whispered that Ida’s spirit lingered, a vengeful ghost bound to the place where her life had been stolen. Her wails could be heard on stormy nights, and the shadow of a woman was seen wandering the fields, her form flickering like a candle in the wind.

  Over the decades, the land passed from hand to hand, each new owner hoping to break the curse, each one failing. A nursery set up shop on the property, only to find its plants uprooted and rearranged by unseen hands. The spot where Ida fell became a barren patch, no plant daring to grow there, until at last, it was paved over, a parking lot where nothing could take root.

  The final owner, a building contractor, scoffed at the stories of ghosts and curses. But as he worked late into the night, the air around him would grow heavy, and strange sounds would echo through the empty halls. Planks would fall without cause, and tools would vanish, only to reappear in impossible places. Those who stayed after dark spoke of seeing a pale figure in the distance, always just beyond the reach of the light.

  In the end, the contractor decided to turn the curse to his advantage. He opened the property to the public, inviting them to experience the hauntings for themselves. The legend of Ida Williams became the centerpiece of the attraction, a tale of love and vengeance that would never die.

  And so, the restless spirit of Ida Williams continues to haunt the land, her story woven into the very fabric of Joppa. For those brave enough to walk the cursed grounds, the question remains: Will you be the one to finally put her spirit to rest? Or will you, too, fall victim to the curse that has claimed so many before you?
