While downtown Nashville is legendary for country music and neon lights, quietly lurking beneath the honky tonks and other popular tourist destinations is a history much darker than you could imagine. From hostile Natives that savagely scalped and beheaded early settlers, to shootouts and ghastly murders in Printer's Alley and the old Men's Quarter, Nashville is filled with countless spirits.


Some of the entities in these stories are friendly, while others are quite restless and mischievous. With each ghostly tale, Southern Ghost Stories: Downtown Nashville invites you to explore Music City to see what you might find.
