Spirits are everywhere, or at least that's what more than 45% of the population choose to believe. Spirits can show up in theaters, eateries, hospitals, schools, homes, old battlefields, almost any place where there was life & death, there could be a haunting. In East Tennessee's rural regions you won't have to look far to hear or see something unexplainable.

It is reputedly haunted by several spirits. Dark souls with a blighted past haunt the building, as does a young child phantom, a little girl who loves to giggle and dart past the living. Her identity and past eludes us, but her presence is definitely notable. * Ghosts and witches are clearly not in the same category, but how a witch who is now a ghost? There was a witch who lived in Morgan County, TN. , who tried to stay to herself, but her reputation was so well known that the locals harassed her repeatedly. Sadly the infatuation with her spells, curses and her house continued long after she died.
