A couple in a Greenville County town has caused multiple 911 calls over a Halloween display so realistic, neighbors believe their house is actually on fire. Sam Lee and Amanda Riggins Peden, who live in Fountain Inn, have turned their home into a “burning house” illusion that has sparked controversy.
Lee, a former mayor of Fountain Inn, and his partner, Riggins Peden, have become known locally for elaborate holiday decorations and host a free pumpkin patch during the Halloween season. This year, their façade is outfitted with glowing orange lights in every window, white smoke rolling from the porch, and shadowy flickers that mimic real flames. They run the show nightly between 8 and 10 p.m. through the end of October.
