Octagon Hall Museum
Octagon Hall near Franklin, Kentucky is an antebellum eight-sided brick house begun in 1847 for the Andrew Jackson Caldwell family and completed before the Civil War. Museum history records Confederate encampment and Union occupation in 1862, as well as later uses including a Masonic meeting place and field-hospital associations. The museum itself openly presents Octagon Hall as a paranormal site and offers private investigations and novice ghost hunts. Its ghost tradition links reported activity to the Caldwell family, enslaved people connected with the property, and Confederate and Union soldiers; the museum says stories have accumulated around people who died on or were connected to the grounds. Specific supernatural identities and incidents are harder to verify independently than the Civil War history, so ODDKNOWN treats the haunting accounts as institutionally preserved claims. The museum is open for scheduled daytime tours and paranormal programs, with seasonal closures and changing hours.
