Daywalkers Paranormal Investigations visited Franklin, Kentucky to investigate the historic and haunted Octagon Hall Museum.
A little about the history of Octagon Hall:
In 1847, Andrew Jackson Caldwell laid out the foundation for his new family home. With a desire for distinction, his home would not be a simple structure with four walls like so many others, but
an eight sided edifice unique to the region. Completed in 1859, it would soon become a landmark in the south-central Kentucky area.
Mr. Caldwell, a very active pro-Confederate, finished building his home in 1859 just prior to the Civil War. His brother was a Colonel in the Confederate Army. And because the house was on 31-W or historically known as the Nashville Road, it was a local landmark. The Confederate Army evacuated Bowling Green, which was the Confederate capitol of the state of Kentucky, on February 13, 1862. They camped here the first night and in our best estimation from the military record, somewhere between eight to ten thousand men camped on the grounds. The officers probably stayed in the house overnight, which would have been very common. Because of his
Confederate leanings, of course, the Union army came shortly in pursuit of the Confederate army. Apparently, the Union Army was really not in any hurry to confront the Confederate forces. They
waited for two days before arriving at the Octagon Hall.
The house was used throughout the war as a sanctuary and hospital for Confederate forces.
The place is also known for family tragedy. he Caldwell family had its own tragedies to accommodate with the deaths of family members and especially with the tragic death of seven-year-old Elizabeth Caldwell. Elizabeth, while playing in the basement “winter” kitchen with her cousin, caught her dress on fire and burned to death. She is buried in the family plot yet many people have learned that Elizabeth may still be present. Many of the stories of ghosts surrounding the property are considered to be associated with the Caldwell family, including the smell of flowers and then the stench of decay on the anniversary of Andrew Jackson Caldwell’s death.
Visitors report shadow figures, hearing disembodied voices, footsteps, tapping and being touched.
