Richmond Haunts long-form
Haunted Kentucky: Jailer’s Inn, Talbott Tavern and the Seelbach
Episode notes
About this episode
| Kentucky’s ghost lore moves easily between small-town landmarks, caves, grand hotels and places associated with sport and entertainment. This episode travels across the Commonwealth for seven sites whose history has inspired reported encounters and enduring local stories.
The route begins in Bardstown at Jailer’s Inn Bed and Breakfast and Old Talbott Tavern, then heads east to the Paramount Arts Center in Ashland. In Maysville, Phillips’ Folly contributes the history of a private residence whose unusual name and long past have encouraged their own legends. The final stops are X Cave at Carter Caves State Resort Park, the Seelbach Hilton in Louisville and Churchill Downs. The episode keeps architectural, business and regional history separate from later ghost stories while showing the range of places included in haunted Kentucky tradition. |
