Cheekwood Estate folklore

Cheekwood Estate & Gardens, a historic early-20th-century estate and public garden, features in Nashville folklore with occasional reports of mysterious occurrences on the grounds and in the mansion. These tales have been referenced in local storytelling, seasonal events, and regional collections of ghost stories. Cheekwood presents its history and programming as a botanical garden and museum while such paranormal reports remain anecdotal and debated. The estate hosts public events that sometimes highlight its historic and cultural narratives rather than asserting supernatural claims.
