East Tennessee Mysteries

The most common story that tells everyone that a young couple was spending time underneath the bridge one night and when they were fixing to leave, they got attacked by a dark mysterious person. The couple was stabbed multiple times with the young lady passing away instantly. The young man survived the attack long enough to climb into the back seat of a car traveling on the bridge. He was rushed to the hospital where he later passed away. According to the story, the police spent more than a year looking for any evidence and couldn't. So the police closed the case and it's now marked as unsolved. There has been over 180 different cases of Paranormal Activity on the bridge, but unfortunately the bridge has been tore down and was replaced with new concrete one. 

What is going on everyone, and welcome to a very special episode of East Tennessee Mysteries.

I am still somewhat skeptical on how the app actually works and what kind of responses we get using it.

The Wheatland Plantation is an 1820's home. The plantation has witnessed over 70 murders and deaths within its walls, while its grounds were home to battles of both the Revolutionary and Civil Wars. There were an estimated 28 Cherokees that were massacred in the Battle of Boyd's Creek, who are buried in a mass grave behind the home. When you enter the parlor, you can see the bloodstains of a father who was slain by his son, which has drawn the attention of many paranormal investigation teams. The Chandler Family ghosts is said to also linger in the hallways of the beautiful home. 

Another building with a deep history in the area, is the Baker Peters House is the site of a famous Confederate-Union feud. Dr. Harvey Baker, was the owner of the Baker Peters House at the time, was shot and killed by Union Troops. His son, Abner Baker, who fought for the Confederates at the time of the war was furious upon hearing this and decided to seek revenge for his father when returned home from the war. While doing so, Abner had an altercation with a gentleman named William Hall, who may had ties to his father’s death. Before Abner could be tried for the altercation an angry mob of Union Supporters broke him out of jail and hung him in a tree in downtown Knoxville. Since then, the Baker Peters House has been used for a wide variety of functions, serving as a restaurant, bar and jazz club over the years. Over the years, the house has been many places including a dental practice which is still functional since 1989.  Show your support to the Podcast by becoming a Patron at patreon.com/EastTennesseeMysteries
