There’s something about a visit to a haunted place, an eerie place, a spot with a history and a dark story that will really get your heart pumping. It’s the ghostly hand of the past that keeps us drawn in, the once-upon-a-midnight dreary that reminds us how human we really are. These seven places in and around Nashville just may fit the bill…if you’re willing to explore them.

Ron Zanoni - Flickr The Carnton Plantation was the location of the famed Battle of Franklin during the Civil War. It’s also home to the largest Confederate cemetery in the United States - pretty crazy, hey?
- There’s a lot of history to this abandoned Tennessee State Prison.
Thomas Hawk - Flickr Closed in 1992, the century old prison is one of Nashville’s gems. The exterior was used during the filming of “The Green Mile,” and the whole of it was designed to mirror the famous prison in Albany, New York. It once housed Old Sparky, Tennessee’s electric chair, and is now home to a bunch of mice and mold. Yech.

Taken by Author …but the husk of the once bustling community pool is still around, out in Madison off of Neely’s Bend.

Closed in the late sixties, you can almost hear the laughter from so many years ago, echoing through the trees.
