Every Fall, This Mansion In Tennessee Embraces Its Haunted History With Evening Ghost Tours

Things start to get a little spooky when October rolls around -- and I'm here for it. Whether that means curling up (or even hiding under a blanket) to watch a scary movie, visiting an abandoned place, or just setting a creepy atmosphere at work with some Halloween music, October is the most delightfully spooky time of the year. The autumn season sets a certain tone that invokes creativity and things start to get a little bit more dark. To fully embrace this time of the year, why not embark on a historically scary adventure? Join a ghost tour at the hermitage in Nashville, Tennessee, for a deep dive into this season of spooky fun.

Every fall the Hermitage opens up once the sun sets for a spooky night filled with ghost stories around the property.

This seasonal lantern-led tour is extremely popular and tickets are limited, so make sure to purchase yours before the season ends.

The Hermitage is a historic property that was purchased by President Andrew Jackson, who spent much of his life at this estate.

The property has been preserved and is in pristine condition and offers guests a look back through our nation's early years. Typical visits to the Hermitage will bring history to life and fascinate you as you walk in the footsteps of those in the 1800s. The ghost tour, however, skew a bit darker and take guests on a wild ride through the creepy stories of the past.

The perfect way to tell a good ghost story, of course, is to wait 'til the sun has set. Once the place is dark the tour will start with only lanterns to guide your way.

These nighttime tours allow guests to explore the mansion, the grounds, and naturally the cemetery.

Stories will be told as you progress through the property like the strange and unexplained incidents that have happened on sight. Learn more about an assassination attempt on Jackson’s life, the bloody details of the Battle of New Orleans, and even a discussion about body snatchers.

The grounds, mansion, and cemetery are certainly beautiful, so make sure to appreciate the beauty even while you are looking for ghosts. You never know who or what might show up during the tour so make sure you keep your eyes peeled as you explore.

This bone-chilling experience will give you a tour unlike any other of the property. This is a unique way to see the darker side of the Hermitage and in the fall it is the perfect spooky season to indulge in a tour that is certainly to bring out the more creepy side of history.
