Haunted Places Near Franklin, TN
5 reported haunted locations found near Franklin, TN.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Carnton Mansion | here is a Historic mansion in Franklin Tn called Carnton. It was used as a confederate hospital during the Civil War(battle of Franklin). Gun shots, rhythmic drum beats, voices, and running footsteps can be heard there any night. There have been recordings of sounds and pictures taken there by local investigators. |
| Carnton Plantation Cemetery | on one row on the right (where the soldiers are buried) lie the graves of twin brothers. One of them delights in tickling your ankles or trying to grab your ankle as you walk by the row where they're buried. This is not the little girl's spirit, but one of the soldiers. |
| Carter House | While Carnton Mansion was the site of the Civil War hospital, Carter House was the site where the Battle of Franklin actually happened. There have been reports of the Confederates being heard marching down the hill, of the eldest son of Mr. Carter being seen on the bed where he died after being wounded in the battle, of the wounded inside the house, and of the toddler son of Mr. Carter who was killed when he fell from the staircase. |
| Confederate Cemetery (adjacent to Carton Mansion) | This site is haunted by a little girl who runs up and down the fence row running her hand along the fence. The noise has also been heard. A soldier guards the gave sites and follows people around until they leave the yard. |
| Franklin & Marshall College | Apparently in the late 1970's a female freshman committed suicide in her room on the third floor of South Ben Franklin dormitory because she could not handle the college's intense workload. Since that time, whenever winter finals grow near, there are reports of screams in the night, sightings of a ghostly figure wandering the halls with a physics book, and even the appearance of blood on the floor of her former room. |
