Haunted Nashville

by Frankie Harris

Overview

Unravel the mysteries surrounding some of Music City's most recognizable landmarks. Who has been ringing the bells at St. Mary's Catholic Church in the dead of night? Is Andrew Jackson's spirit still riding his ghostly stallion through his plantation home, the Hermitage? Why have there been reports of ghostly fighting at the State Capitol? Learn of the terror in Room 711 at the Union Station Hotel and in Civil War morgues and hospitals that still bear phantom forms of Confederate soldiers. Decide for yourself if Hank William's apparition is still performing at the Ryman Auditorium. Nashville's tragic love stories and grisly murders are as fascinating as the haunted tales themselves!
