Summary

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! PART TWO

In the small town of Carthage, Tennessee, the Smith County Courthouse stands as a centerpiece of history—its architecture and presence reflecting a different era.

Built in the late 1800s, the courthouse has witnessed decades of local life, but also moments of tragedy tied to its past. From public executions to untimely deaths, the history connected to this building has led some to believe that not everything has moved on.

Steven Denson of Mid-Tenn Paranormal takes us inside the courthouse to explore both its history and the activity reported there today. From specific areas of the building to the spirits believed to remain, the reports include unexplained encounters, recurring presences, and activity tied to individuals connected to the site’s past.

It’s a look at a historic location where the past may still be present—and where investigators continue to search for answers.
