The Haunted Dream Hotel

The Dream Hotel has been a fixture on Nashville's Broadway since the late 1800s, but its walls hold more than memories of travelers and merchants. In 1897, this elegant establishment became the site of a violent tragedy when Tim Hanifin was shot dead by a sheriff on the second floor. His misty figure has lingered ever since, wandering the hallways where he took his last breath. Guests and staff report encounters with multiple spirits, from the sound of phantom footsteps to the apparition of a weeping woman in Victorian dress. The Dream Hotel stands as a testament to Nashville's rough-and-tumble past, when justice was swift and death could come calling at any moment.
