A Tennessee family is reeling from unimaginable loss after their 12-year-old son died in a tragic accident during a Halloween hayride at Haunted Hilltop in Harrison. What began as a night of thrills quickly turned into a nightmare for everyone involved.
On October 11, Samuel Jessen and other juveniles reportedly jumped out from the bushes, hoping to scare passengers on the haunted hayride.
In a tragic twist, Samuel became caught under the wheels of the trailer, leading to his untimely death. Witnesses screamed for the tractor driver to stop, but it seems their cries went unheard. The chilling scene unfolded just before 11 p.m., as deputies from the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office rushed to the scene following a distress call.
According to eyewitness accounts, the atmosphere shifted from playful excitement to sheer panic within moments.

Despite their frantic attempts to alert the driver, the hayride continued, leaving them trapped in a harrowing situation.
