Ep. 556 - Nashville's Belmont Mansion

History Goes Bump: Ghost Tours For The Mind

The Belmont Mansion is haunted by a woman who knew devastating loss, Adelicia (Add ah lish ah) Hayes Franklin Acklen Cheatham. That's a lot of surnames because there were a lot of marriages. The mansion is located in Nashville and is now a part of the Belmont University Campus. This is an elaborate antebellum villa that served as a summer respite from the Louisiana heat. And it just might be a respite for Adelicia in the afterlife. Join us for the history and hauntings of the Belmont Mansion. The Moment in Oddity features a mummified cat at the Three Stags Head Pub and This Month in History features the Attica Correctional Facility Riot.
