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.

**The Haunting of Ida Williams: A Sinister Tale in Downtown Joppa, Alabama**
In the heart of downtown Joppa, Alabama, lies a property shrouded in a chilling history, one that intertwines with the sinister legend of Ida Williams. This dark narrative begins in 1822 when the Williams family inherited the land with high hopes of carrying on their thriving Cotton Gin business.
For generations, the Williams family toiled together, cultivating their enterprise until the 1940s when the grip of the Great Depression brought it to its knees. Left with nothing but the memories of his late wife and a sprawling garden, David Williams found himself solely responsible for the property.
It was then that the close-knit community of Joppa rallied behind Mr. Williams. The church, school, and neighboring businesses proposed a unique arrangement: a share-crop system. In exchange for their labor, families could share in the bounty of the land. David Williams became a local hero, providing sustenance to those in dire need during a time when the entire nation grappled with hardship.
However, within this tale of unity and survival, a shadowy subplot unfolds. Ida Williams, David's daughter, was betrothed to a local dairy farmer named Patterson, a man with ample resources and potential. Yet, Ida harbored no affection for him. He was too old, too dour, and, in her eyes, hopelessly outdated.
Even as this union promised unimaginable wealth for the Williams family—prosperity that would surpass their wildest dreams—Ida remained resolute in her determination to marry her beloved, Bill Knight.
Bill, a young and earnest man, possessed little in terms of material wealth. However, he offered something far more precious: unwavering devotion. It was a commodity that outshone any financial dowry presented by the other suitors her father introduced.
Legend has it that Ida and Bill conspired in secret, meeting one fateful evening in the shadow of the apple orchard. Unbeknownst to them, Patterson, the enigmatic dairy farmer, stumbled upon their clandestine rendezvous. In a single, vengeful act, he ended Ida's life with a gunshot, and Bill Knight fell beside her, lifeless. The very ground where Ida met her tragic end has remained barren, incapable of sustaining life since that fateful night. Locals whisper that her restless spirit still roams the property.
Over the years, this land has seen many enterprises come and go, each plagued by eerie occurrences that defy explanation. During its stint as a nursery, plants and trees were inexplicably rearranged overnight, and the specter of a woman wandering through the fields would vanish without a trace. A specific patch of earth, cursed by Ida's presence, defied all attempts at cultivation and eventually became a parking lot.
The property changed hands, falling into the possession of a building contractor who remained oblivious to its harrowing history. Unfazed by the supernatural stories, he carried on with his projects, often working long hours into the night. However, as the sun dipped below the horizon, a sinister undercurrent of inexplicable events would stir.
For those who dared to remain after sundown, terror awaited. From planks plummeting from nowhere to the spectral figure of a young woman, unsettling occurrences became the norm. It was as though the malevolent spirit of Ida Williams had staked her claim, haunting the property and all who entered.
In a strange twist of fate, the building contractor saw an opportunity to embrace the legend. He decided to open the property to the public, allowing them to bear witness to the disturbances that refused to fade into the night. It was his way of paying homage to Mr. Williams's daughter, Ida, ensuring that her restless spirit would never rest in peace.
May she rest in peace... or not!
