Octagon Hall Museum is a unique antebellum landmark in Franklin, Kentucky, and is known for its civil war history AND its paranormal activity.

Andrew Jackson Caldwell began building this unique family home in 1847, and it wasn't completed until 1859. It isn’t your typical home with four exterior walls. This home is built with eight walls, making it octagon shaped. During the Civil War, it was occupied at different times by both the Confederate Army and the Union Army.

There are many stories of the ghosts that still haunt the building, from the Caldwell family, slaves, and Confederate and Union soldiers who have never left the property. It is also thought to be one of the most haunted buildings in the South.

We talk about the history and hauntings with Museum Director Bear Gaunt. For more information about tours and paranormal investigations, go to octagonhallmuseum.com
