Cleveland, Tennessee is home to a unique piece of local lore. Just behind St. Luke’s Episcopal Church is a beautiful white mausoleum where a young girl named Nina Craigmiles was buried. But according to legend, the white marble does not stay perfectly white for long, as the tomb purportedly bleeds.
Little Nina was only seven years old when she was killed in a tragic buggy accident. While riding with her grandfather, the cart’s horse was spooked while at a railroad crossing, causing the buggy to be struck by an oncoming train. As can be expected, her family felt profound grief. Yet the Craigmiles family was unlike others in Cleveland— they were one of the wealthiest. So not long after her funeral, Nina’s father began making plans to memorialize his beloved daughter. Yet as beautiful as the mausoleum is, the local legend that claims her mausoleum bleeds with her blood is one of Tennessee’s most infamous urban legends.
