Today on the grave talks we continue our conversation about the

Octagon Hall Museum with museum director Bear Gaunt. The Octagon Hall Museum is a unique antebellum landmark in Franklin, Kentucky.

It's known for its civil war history and its paranormal activity.

Andrew Jackson Caldwell began building this unique family home in 1847.

It isn't your typical home with four exterior walls. This home is built with eight walls making it octagon shape. The

construction wasn't completed until 1859. During the Civil War it was occupied at different times by both a Confederate

Army and the Union Army. Dr. Gunn Hall has also been a Masonic temple, a hospital,

and is regarded as one of the most haunted places in the South.

From the Caldwell family, slaves, Confederate, and Union soldiers, they've never left the property. I'm Carol Hughes and on this

episode of the Grave Talks we talk about even more hauntings at the

Octagon Hall Museum with museum director Bear Gant. Do you have any spirits there that seem to be more active or more known?

I go, hello, basement people.

And then what's weird is to hear a disembodied voice coming back and says,

hello!

And then I walk in on the floor and I get all, the college was in the rest of people in the house,

and then they go,

hi bear, you'll hear disembodied,

you'll hear all that kind of stuff.

I'll hear my name called as I'm walking by. There are several people that are there a lot.
