Conservation Note
Tours emphasize respect for private property and local businesses—stick to public areas, pack out trash, and avoid touching historic fabric to minimize impact.
Nashville’s downtown has layers of 19th- and early-20th-century buildings; Civil War hospitals and dense boarding houses left many of the oral histories that inform modern hauntings.
Photographer's Notes
