Nashville Area Haunted Walking Tours
These are the best nighttime walking tours that combine “well-documented accounts” about the ghosts & haunted places in Franklin and Nashville, Tennessee:
#1 – Haunted Franklin Ghost Tours
“Lynchings, public whippings and hangings, street corner shootings and assorted “activities of the night” are all part of the city’s past. Many buildings served as hospitals following the Battle of Franklin, and some of them reportedly have strange visitors from time to time.”
- Dates: April thru November
- Cost: $18 for adults; $10 ages 6 to 13
- Length: 90 minutes
- Reviews:
I’ve done this tour a couple of times with different people. It’s always been an enjoyable time.
#2 – Ghost Tours of Carnton Plantation
“Carnton, often called the most haunted building in Tennessee, was used as a field hospital after the Battle of Franklin. Hundreds of wounded men were brought into the house and many died while there. Confederate cemetery tours may also be included.”
They used to give guided tours of Carnton plantation while sharing scary ghost stories. It cost $15 to $20 per person for a 1 hour ghost tour during the month of October each year.

Through the years, the Carnton ghost tours became hit or miss. They were constantly changing their website and their longterm goals for Plantation as a whole – so it became difficult to stay on top of the dates for their ghost tours each October. They finally did away with the ghost tours altogether.

I’ve also done their Haunted Nashville Tavern Tours. They’re fun walking tours in the evening — in the form of a pub crawl. Still on my list to do is their Haunted Nashville Hearse Tour.
