When you think about Nashville, Tennessee, one of the first things that comes to mind is country music and the Grand Ole Opry. For 26 years the Opryland U. S. A. theme park was the place to be during the summer until it was closed down and turned into a shopping mall. Lurking underneath the vast Opryland complex and surrounding area lies a complicated history. From Native Americans that once called the area home, to plantations that were located on the property many years before Opryland came to town, there is a dark underbelly that is rarely discussed. Due to events in the past, buildings and tourist attractions along Pennington's Bend and the Cumberland River are now home to many restless spirits. From the Grand Ole Opry to the old theme park and lavish hotel next door, ghost stories are everywhere. With each ghostly tale, Southern Ghost Stories: Opryland unlocks the dark history of the area and invites you to see what you might find lurking in the shadows.
