Nashville has a rich history and intriguing past. Many downtown landmarks, including the Tennessee State Capitol, President Polk’s Tomb, the Ryman Auditorium, and Printer’s Alley, are known for ghostly sightings. There’s also a long list of historic mansions and plantations known for hauntings, and they are open for Nashville ghost tours.
Of course, the fall is a perfect time to take these tours as we near Halloween and the sun sets earlier in the evening. Here’s a list of some of the most haunted locations in Nashville and businesses offering fantastic tours:
Belle Air Mansion in Nashville, TN, is a historic Greek Revival mansion dating back to 1790. The original structure was built by James Mulherin, a prominent landowner and businessman; the mansion’s elegant architectural details reflect the grandeur of the antebellum South. Over the years, the mansion changed hands several times and underwent extensive restoration to preserve its historical integrity.
Today, it is a beautifully restored property that offers guests a glimpse into the rich history of the Old South while providing modern luxury accommodations. One of the best rooms for those interested in Nashville ghost tours is the 1790 Hideaway, located in the oldest part of the property. The fireplace is built from the original bricks and horse hair mortar dating back more than 230 years.
Of course, the majority of our guests don’t encounter ghosts, just our helpful and welcoming staff members and other like-minded folks who enjoy staying at historic Select Registry properties. Join us in the elegant dining room each morning for a delicious Southern comfort breakfast and enjoy plenty of other excellent touches and amenities during your stay. Book your room today!
