Featured Locations:
The Cherry Mansion
One Cherry St., Savannah, TN 38372
Overlooking the Tennessee River, Cherry Mansion is haunted by the ghost of Mrs. Cherry and Union soldiers who roamed its halls during the Civil War. Visitors report seeing specters near the windows and hearing the sounds of medical equipment from when the mansion served as a hospital.

The Rotherwood Mansion

Rotherwood Dr, Kingsport, TN 37660
Known for the tragic spirit of Rowena Ross, who lost two fiancés before taking her own life, Rotherwood Mansion is home to her ghost, often seen in a white gown wandering near the Holston River. Many feel a deep sadness in her presence.

Shiloh National Military Park

1055 Pittsburg Landing Rd, Shiloh, TN 38376

The Lotz House

1111 Columbia Ave, Franklin, TN 37064
During the Battle of Franklin, the Lotz House became a field hospital. Apparitions of soldiers, the sound of musket fire, and ghostly footsteps are common in this Civil War-era home, making it a favorite spot for ghost hunters.

The Orpheum Theatre

203 S Main St, Memphis, TN 38103
Famous for its ghost, Mary, a young girl who died in front of the theater, the Orpheum is alive with paranormal activity. Mary is known to playfully flick lights and interact with staff, while phantom applause echoes through the theater after shows.

Wheatlands Plantation

2506 Boyd’s Creek Hwy, Sevierville, TN 37876

The Bell Witch Cave

430 Keysburg Rd, Adams, TN 37010
The Bell Witch legend began in the early 1800s with the Bell family, who were tormented by a vengeful spirit. The cave is considered a portal for the spirit, and visitors report hearing whispers and footsteps, often feeling watched by unseen eyes.

Carnton Plantation

1345 Eastern Flank Cir, Franklin, TN 37064
The site of one of the Civil War’s bloodiest battles, Carnton Plantation is haunted by Confederate soldiers and a ghostly nurse who is seen watching over the wounded. The property is also home to strange noises and disembodied cries.

Old South Pittsburg Hospital

This abandoned hospital is notorious for shadowy figures and ghostly voices. One of the most haunted rooms is Nelly’s Room, where visitors experience slamming doors and strange, unexplainable noises.
