Stop 1

The Tennessee State Capitol building in Nashville is rich with history and, like many old buildings, has its share of spooky legends and ghost stories. The combination of political history, personal tragedies, and the building's age and grandeur certainly lends itself to ghost stories.

While St. Mary of the Seven Sorrows is primarily a place of worship, the church’s rich history and the reports of strange occurrences have given it a haunted reputation in the local area. Whether you believe in the paranormal or not, it’s undeniable that the church holds a deep emotional significance for the people who visit, and the stories of its hauntings only add to its mystique.

Over the years, the Hermitage Hotel has built a reputation not only as a luxurious, historic place to stay but also as one of the most haunted hotels in Nashville. From the eerie presence in room 1007 to the mysterious Woman in White, the strange sounds, and the flickering lights, the hotel certainly has an air of mystery that lingers.

The Downtown Presbyterian Church’s combination of architectural beauty, historic significance, and haunting tales makes it one of Nashville’s most intriguing sites for both spiritual and paranormal exploration. Built in the mid-19th century, the church has witnessed numerous events, from the Civil War to social upheaval, and these historical layers have contributed to its rich atmosphere - and its reputation as a haunted landmark.
