Top Ten Most Haunted Places in Tennessee:

1. Memphis. Although Memphis is known for being the location of Elvis Presley’s infamous Graceland estate, the city is also home to a number of spectral sightings And ghost photos of the King.

Voodoo Village it really does exist in Southwest Memphis. Located on Mary Angela Road, the area is home to St. Paul's Spiritual Temple and is enclosed in a huge iron fence. But if the stories and legends are true, there's more than church services taking place behind those walls. Sacrificial offerings, black magic, revenge spells and the walking dead. Some say the relatives of Marie Laveau come hee to communicate with the dead.

Black Cow's CutOff Road or Caliss Cutoff, located near the intersection of Winchester and Germantown Rd. It is not there anymore but was a popular site to drive down. Very haunted by the living and the dead, it was a place where a cult of vampires, witches or voodooist frequented, the area though developed now adays still carries many memories and residual paranormal energy..

Overton Park,This is Memphis's own Lady of the Lake ghost stiory. There seems to conflicting dates on when this woman actually died. Some stories say it was the 1940s while other say it was in the 1960s. The one thing all stories are sure of is that the body of a young woman was found floating in the lake at Overton Park. The woman was wearing a blue dress and she was raped, then stabbed to death, but she's definitly not at peace. Many people who park their cars by the lake swear they have seen the ghostly apparition of the woman rising out of the lake still wearing the blue dress. Perhaps she is looking to see if her murderer has returned...or maybe she's looking for revenge.

2.Nashville. Each year millions of people travel to Nashville, making Tennessee’s capital city one of the top tourist destinations in the country. Rich in music and history, Nashville also has a large number of reported haunted sites.

The Belmont Mansion was constructed in 1849 for Adelicia Hayes. The house was sold in 1887 and is now the central point for Belmont University. There have been a number of people who have reported seeing Adelicia wandering and/or floating throughout the house. Some believe she refuses to leave her beloved home. Others say she is waiting for the right person to come to her so she can possess them and live again.

President Andrew Jackson’s home, The Hermitage, is also located in Nashville. Visitors as well as groundskeepers have reported seeing ghostly apparitions. The most common sighting is that of former slaves who worked the grounds standing near the mansion.

3. Knoxville. Knoxville was home to the 1982 World’s Fair and is currently the main campus for the University of Tennessee. It is also home to two popular haunted places: the Old Cemetery and Lakeshore Asylum.

A number of unexplained dark shapes and/or shadows have been seen at Knoxville’s Old Cemetery. Witnesses have seen the dark figures move fluidly through the cemetery’s tombstones.

Lakeshore Asylum is an ominous site. Although it burned down in the early 1900’s, the building’s remains are still there. Sounds of screaming, moaning and chains have been reported over the years.

4. Clarksville. Although not as well known as some of Tennessee’s bigger cities, Clarksville, nonetheless, has its share of hauntings in the form of Resthaven Cemetery and the Smith Mansion.

The house located in the back of Resthaven Cemetery was once a plantation home. The owner of the plantation owned a number of slaves, some of whom still haunt the plantation grounds and adjacent cemetery. Legend has it that one ghostly apparition is forever looking for his missing child.

The Smith Mansion overlooks the Cumberland River. Visitors to the home have seen the ghost of a woman, believed to be Mrs. Smith, on the balcony, keeping a never ending watch along the river. Mrs. Smith supposedly awaits the return of her husband who was killed in an accident on a riverboat.

5. Franklin. Like many southern cities, the Civil War played a vast historic role in Franklin. Even today, a visitor can witness remnants of the war in the form of hauntings in various places.

The Carnton Mansion was turned into a hospital to treat the wounded and dying during the Battle of Franklin. Today, the spirits of the departed still linger. Voices and footsteps can be heard throughout the home as well as the beat of drums signaling the impending Civil War battle. The cemetery located next to the home is haunted. Visitors have seen spectral visions of a young girl running along the fence of the cemetery. A Civil War soldier has also been seen in the cemetery. The soldier stands guard over the final resting place of him comrades.

A person visiting the Carter House should not be alarmed if they hear or see unexplained events. The home stands on the site of the actual battleground. The sounds of marching can be heard on occasion as well as the ghostly apparitions of those who wee wounded or killed during the battle.

6. Adams, Tennessee

The Bell Farm - Adams, Tennessee, US

The Bell Farm has been made notorious through books, TV specials and movies. Most recently the events at this small Tennessee farm were dramatized in the 2005 movie An American Haunting. The story behind the Bell Farm haunting is so notable and recognized because it is said to be the only documented account in paranormal history when a ghost caused the death of a living person. Between the years of 1817 and 1821, the Bell Family was terrorized by some sort of entity, mostly said to be a woman, who became known as the Bell Witch or, more personally, “Kate.” She is said to have perturbed and tortured John Bell (the father of the family and victim of a nervous system disorder) so much that it lead to his inevitable death.

He was unable to sleep or recuperate and the ghost’s antics worsened his condition. It is also said that a vile with a strange black liquid was found at John Bell’s deathbed and that Kate herself claimed she gave it to him. Supposedly, in order to test the liquids validity, a drop was placed on the family cat’s tongue and it immediately killed the animal. Though the haunting of the Bell Farm has been sensationalized many times over, it is still inarguable that something happened there during those three years. A family and a community were terrorized by an entity of some kind, and residents still believe Kate is up to no good.
