The spirits of South Pittsburg
According to local legend, the Old South Pittsburg Hospital was built in 1959 over an underground spring on land originally settled by the Chiaha Native American tribe, the very same spot where Union soldiers were ambushed in 1863 during the Battle of Chickamauga. Abandoned in 1998 under dubious circumstances, the Old South Pittsburg Hospital now serves as a paranormal research center, widely considered the most haunted site in Tennessee. Ghost hunters from around the country visit for “overnight investigations,” where they are allegedly visited by paranormal specters from throughout South Pittsburg’s rich history.
