The Spirits of the Smith County Courthouse, Part Two | Guest Steven Denson

The Grave Talks | Haunted, Paranormal & Supernatural

Carthage, Tennessee is nestled at the convergence of two rivers, and it was a strategic post during the Civil War, serving as a major Federal base in the battle for the Upper Cumberland River region. In the heart of this small town, you’ll find the Smith County Courthouse, constructed between 1877 and 1879, standing proudly on the downtown square. This architectural gem, praised as the "handsomest in the state" back in the day, is a stunning example of the Second Empire style, and it’s no wonder that in 1979, it earned a spot on the National Register of Historic Places.
But behind its elegant façade lies a dark and eerie history. The courthouse, the second to be built on this site, has witnessed public hangings and untimely deaths, leaving restless spirits in its wake, like "Jeff," who seems to rule the third floor, Paul, who tragically died on the first floor during a Christmas event, and a mysterious lady who haunts the stairs.
Today on the Grave Talks, Part Two of our conversation about the Spirits of the Smith County Courthouse with Steven Denson of Mid-Tenn Paranormal.
