Belle Meade Plantation ghost stories

Belle Meade Historic Site, a 19th-century plantation and museum, is the focus of local folklore about unexplained sights and sounds reported by visitors and employees. These accounts have appeared in local newspapers and in regional compilations of ghost stories about Nashville historic sites. The reports are presented as anecdotal and are debated by historians and skeptics. The site operates as a museum and hosts documented historic tours that do not present the stories as established fact.
