Summary

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!

We explore the haunting history of the Octagon Hall Museum in Franklin, Kentucky. Built between 1847 and 1859 by Andrew Jackson Caldwell, the hall is known not only for its unique octagonal shape but also for its long history during the Civil War. Both Confederate and Union soldiers occupied the property, and countless spirits from the Caldwell family, slaves, and soldiers are said to still haunt the halls. Museum Director Bear Gaunt joins us to discuss the many paranormal experiences that have taken place within the walls of this historic landmark, making it one of the most haunted buildings in the South.
