Chapel Hill, TN is one of the most well known
Haunted Locations in Tennessee. Chapel Hill is
known for its Ghostly lights that appear along
the Local railroad tracks. No one really knows
just why these Lights appear. But for some of
the local Town folks, they have their own ideas.
The legend goes that long ago, an
older gentleman Known in those days to be what
they would call a Signal Man for the railroad
company, there in Chapel Hill. He would carry
a bright lantern along the Railroad tracks. That
could be seen for Long distances. And on one dark
and rainy night, as he Walked the tracks like
he did every Day. The older gentleman Tripped
and fell, and hit his Head on the tracks, and
was Knock unconscious. As he laid on the train
Tracks knocked out cold. A train came along, and
unaware of the gentleman laying on the tracks.
The train ran over the man, and
decapitated him. When the authorities arrived,
for some reason they could only find the lower
torso of the gentleman. And the head was never
found
So to this day, people believe that
when you See the bizarre bright lights floating
back and Forth over the railroad tracks. They
believe that it is the older gentleman's spirit,
looking for His head.
Luckily, I was able to interview
a lady by the name of Crystal, Who has had her
own experience with seeing these lights. And her
story goes As follows.
Crystal and some friends were out
driving one night. And they decided to go To Chapel
Hill themselves, to see for themselves, if the
legend was true. So, they arrived, already expecting
nothing was Going to happen. They got out of the
car, and stood right on the tracks, within the
first couple of minutes, one of her friends, made
the comment "What's that?" They all
looked down the tracks, and about 50 yards down
the track was a bright light floating in midair,
about 4 feet off the ground. It seems to be Going
Back and forth across the tracks, and coming closer
and closer to them. Crystal said, that she immediately
froze, while everyone else ran back to the car.
But, Crystal couldn't move. This light just kept
coming closer and closer to her. But she felt
as if her body was paralyzed. Her, friends yelled
at her to get into the car, but she couldn't.
So, her friends finally had to grab her and drag
her to the car. Still in shock, they drove off
and never been back since.
Sadie Baker
Concord Cemetery Manchester, TN
By Kellie
 Concord
Cemetery has a very well known resident.
A lady by the name of Sadie Baker. Story
has it, that Sadie was known to be a witch.
And because of that, she was buried alive.
The people that buried her placed two Stone
slabs on top of her grave.
So, that because of her being a witch, She
will not rise from the dead.
If you notice in the photos,
there is money placed on her stone. Matt
and I could only come to the Conclusion
that, the reason why it was there, was maybe
it was some sort of offering from other
Modern day witches in the local area. We
still aren’t
to sure about that though.
Some witnesses say that at
night you can see a dark shadow figure of
a woman. Roaming, the cemetery grounds.
Some say, that you can see her, floating
over top of the headstones. Could this be
Sadie? I don’t know. You Be the Judge…… |
