Ghost stories and ghoulish myths are the lifeblood of the autumn season, but if you’re here in Tennessee there are a few places that boast scary stories throughout the entire year.

The luxury of the hotel is in no way dimmed by the story of Annalisa Netherly, but we like to think it adds a little depth to the space. Annalisa was said to have been beheaded in a bathtub by a jealous lover, way back in the year 1927. The room? Number 311.

Guests continue to request the room, despite the reported paranormal activity. If you find yourself staying the night, you may see anything from shadowy figures to flickering lights and you may even hear running water from the great beyond.

Visitors swear they have seen her, and there's even a vintage clawfoot tub and an AM radio that hearken back to the murder in the '20s. Annalisa Netherly may be long gone in the physical realm, but her spiritual being continues to haunt the hotel.

We'd highly recommend booking the room for yourself, but if you are staying in the hotel you can request a tour of the haunted room as well. Nothing like a sneak peek without the ghost, don't you think?

If you’re seeking more than just ghosts and perhaps a little more information about the Read House, you can find it either on Facebook or its official website.

There’s beauty everywhere in Tennessee, but oh how we’d recommend an afternoon spent in Knoxville’s Market Square!
