Where is the creepiest town near Nashville?

If you're looking to get scared, add Adams, Tennessee to your spooky bucket list. By far the creepiest town near Nashville, Adams has a dark past that promises to send chills down your spine. The folklore alleges that a witch haunted Adams in the early 1800s, even going so far as to terrify future president Andrew Jackson when he visited the town.

Can I visit any abandoned places in Nashville?

There are plenty of abandoned places in Nashville that will make the hair on your neck stand at attention and one of the very spookiest is the Tennessee State Prison. Located in West Nashville, the prison shut its doors for good in 1992, locking in all the restless spirits that most likely roam the hallways. You see, the Tennessee State Prison had the state's sole electric chair, and it harbored only the most violent male criminals. Additionally, its castle-like exterior imparts a haunting beauty that is undeniable.

Are there any haunted restaurants or bars in Nashville?

Flying Saucer is a haunted bar in Nashville that also happens to be one of the oldest watering holes in the state. Nestled in the heart of downtown, Flying Saucer is very popular among locals and tourists alike because it offers over 80 beers on tap, plus another 120 bottled varieties. What most people don't know, however, is that the bar has quite a rich and storied past. The building was once the baggage claim area for the Union Station railroad terminal, from where most of Tennessee's young soldiers left during World War II. The site was also used as a makeshift hospital after the Great Train Wreck of 1918 at Dutchman's Curve, which claimed the lives of many people. Drinks aren't the only spirits you'll find here!
