Athens, Tennessee Ghost Tales My now husband I and some friends were picking up a friend in Decatur one night about half way there we were in the middle of nowhere. No street lights or anything. And all of a sudden this bright red glowing figure went barreling across the road in front of us. At first I thought I was seeing things. finally I said something but everyone in the car saw it too. I still don't know what it was maybe an alien who knows I was scared though...

Paintings turn about, noises coming from the dark. Folks who have never stayed   overnight in this town will surely tell you it's lies, but everybody who has settled in Athens is not alive. These are some of the spooky things that have happened here recently. The ghost of an elderly hag has been observed on several occasions hovering down a shadowy road in the vicinity of Athens. It's been argued that this exact spirit is the spirit of a vacationer that was killed while journeying through Athens some time ago. A man with a sizeable hole through his chest may be observed time and again concealing a dead body by a sizeable boulder in Fisher Field late at night. If you talk to the people who live here, this ghost is that of a resident who lived here in Athens a long time ago. A lady's body having a skunk's head is from time to time spotted in Gilbert Hollow late in the night struggling to grasp something. A man having the head of a devil has supposedly been witnessed on many occasions thinking mid stream in Black Branch.
