Richmond Haunts long-form
Haunted Tennessee: Ryman Auditorium, Carnton and Chapel Hill Ghost Light
Episode notes
About this episode
| Tennessee’s haunted stories draw from Civil War history, music, higher education, railroads and the changing life of its cities and towns. This episode travels from Franklin and Nashville to Knoxville, Chattanooga, Chapel Hill and Memphis.
The route begins at Carnton in Franklin and Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. It continues to the University of Tennessee in Knoxville and the Read House in Chattanooga before turning to the Headless Signalman and Chapel Hill Ghost Light. The final story centers on the former Brinkley Female College in Memphis. These locations connect nationally recognized landmarks with regional legends and places that no longer serve their original purpose. The episode separates verified history from reported apparitions and oral tradition while showing how Tennessee’s cultural memory has produced a distinctive body of ghost lore. |
