Today on The Grave Talks, Legends of Tennessee, a conversation with author Eric Freeman Sims.

If you think you've heard all there is to know about Tennessee's haunted past, we'll think again.

While legends like the Bell Witch and Elvis's

ghost at Graceland get most of the spotlight, the small towns scattered across Tennessee are brimming

with chilling stories that aren't so well known. Eric Freeman Sims is a seasoned paranormal investigator,

and he opens the door to those lesser-known

haunts in his new book, Small Town Hants, and Legends of Tennessee. Eric shares eerie tales

of forgotten spirits, long-buried secrets, and the restless echoes that refused to fade.

Drawing on more than 20 years of experience in a lifetime

of eerie encounters that began with a full-body apparition at age eight, Eric guides us deep into the

heart of the volunteer state, where folklore meets the unexplained, proving that sometimes

the scariest stories come from the places you'd least expect.
