5 of the Most Haunted in Tennessee, USA – Most Haunted Marathon Series
The phantoms of five of the most haunted places in Tennessee are eager to tell their spooky stories. Here are our spine-chilling picks from the Volunteer State.
- Carnton Plantation ~ Franklin, TN
In November of 1864, the Plantation witnessed an integral Battle of Franklin, during the Civil War. It was a devastating battle for the South. Over 1,750 Confederate soldiers were buried on the property, making it the largest graveyard in the south. Bloodstains are still visible in several rooms, with the heaviest in the children’s bedroom which served as the operating room. An interesting consistency of hauntings occurs during the autumn months from a ghost woman that walks the back porch to the kitchen to a jealous suitor.

- Bell Witch Cave ~ Adams, TN
One of the most famous pieces of Southern lore is the haunts of the Bell Witch. Downright chilling, it is no doubt that this is one of the most haunted in Tennessee. The tale of a sinister spirit who haunted the Bell family in 1817, supports eyewitness accounts, affidavits, and documents to her presence. The entity that tormented the Bell family over 200 years ago remains a mystery but is a fascinating subject to explore.
