This narrow, atmospheric alley has been a hub for nightlife, music, and various businesses since the mid-19th century. The Alley's Name: Printer's Alley got its name from the many print shops that were once located in the area. The ghost of a printer who reportedly died under mysterious circumstances is said to haunt the alley. Witnesses claim to have seen him/her wandering the narrow lanes, sometimes in period clothing.
Tennessee State Capitol
The Tennessee State Capitol, located in Nashville, has its own share of ghostly legends and reported paranormal activity. The most famous ghostly story related to the Tennessee State Capitol involves its architect, William Strickland. He designed and oversaw the construction of the building but passed away before its completion in 1854. Legend has it that Strickland's ghost haunts the capitol, possibly because he was buried in the building's north facade, as per his request. Visitors and employees have claimed to hear footsteps echoing in empty hallways, attributed to Strickland's spirit. Visitors to the Tennessee State Capitol have reported an eerie and unsettling atmosphere, even during daylight hours. Some say they feel as though they are being watched or experience sudden temperature drops in certain areas of the building.

Matt was our tour guide and he was amazing! Super nice, easy to talk to, and had a great way of explaining the history ! I love that there is a binder that has information to back up the history. It’s definitely chilling to know the history, but it was great! I’m a full believer but if I wasn’t, that tour would change my mind!
