2008 Ruby Falls Haunted Cavern
"MEAT" THE GRIMSBYS

For generations the Grimsby Slaughter House has been the Chattanooga area’s largest providers of bulk meat and meat products.

The secret to Grimsby Meat’s success is claimed to be held deep within the recesses of a secluded cave on their family property. Since the early 1980’s all the “New Cattle” is brought to this underground facility for slaughtering and then is processed and packaged in their above ground slaughterhouse.

It was a series of tragedies that lead to the discovery of this
new process that produces what the family simply calls “New Meat”.

The year was 1979, and the Grimsby Meat Processing Company was near foreclosure. In a fit of desperation fourth generation owner Henry Grimsby burned down his family’s home with himself and the rest of the Grimsby family still inside.

 

Luckily, Henry’s wife Maebelle (Mama), was able to get everyone out of the house safely except for the youngest two children Luscious and Milo. Both Luscious and Milo did survive the blaze, but were badly burned and disfigured. Henry was also injured in the fire and was paralyzed when part of the house collapsed on him.

With the family farm in ruins and Henry unable to continue in his lead role, Mama took over interest in the family farm. She soon realized the horrible situation that drove Henry to madness as the foreclosure letters and loan forfeits began arriving by mail. To make matters worse, their usual livestock providers began refusing to provide them with necessary cattle for processing.

Another source of meat was needed and needed quickly.

This new source of meat was soon discovered one day when a pair of bank collectors made an unannounced visit to the Grimsby Slaughterhouse. The collectors were captured by Mama and her 2 eldest sons. Both were slaughtered and processed into fine meat cuts. The Grimsby’s called these cuts the “New Meat”.

Soon after that Max & Floyd along with their cousin Nathan became full time herders for the “New Cattle”. These three would often find their prey on area hiking trails around the Grimsby Farm. One day as they were herding the “New Cattle” back to the slaughterhouse, one escaped and was chased into an old abandoned cave on the Grimsby farm.

This cave which is accessible via an old mining elevator also happened to be connected to a popular tourist attraction named Ruby Falls.

A constant supply of “New Cattle” was found.

Developing a greater thirst for blood and wanting to seclude themselves from society Mama Grimsby and the family moved deep inside the Grimsby cave to live and slaughter the “New Cattle” full time. Out of sight from the public’s prying eyes and deep underground where even the loudest of screams cannot be heard above, the Grimsby’s are able to slaughter their innocent victims without any unwanted attention.

The Grimsby Meat Processing Company is back in business.
