Opryland & Music Row Hauntings
 The Grand Ole Opry and Opryland have been a part of Country Music for years. So much emotion has gone through these places, from young men and women in search of their dreams, who ultimately either succeed or fail. Whether it be the thrill of victory, or the agony of defeat, the lives of these dreamers is that of extremes. Do some of the emotions endure for years after they are felt? Perhaps.
The first haunting doesn't seem to have much to do with these, however. Opryland Hotel is said to be haunted by the ghost of a "Mrs. McGavock." Several employees and guests claim they have seen her walking around the hotel. Opryland Hotel is one of the most luxurious hotels in the Volunteer State, and is the last place one would think of as being haunted, so it's strange indeed to hear such tales. Another haunted Nashville locale is said to be the Ryman Auditorium. Located in downtown Nashville, the Ryman was named after Captain Tom Ryman. His ghost is said to haunt the Ryman, and has been known to pull mischief such as turning off lights. Visitors report paranormal activity there. Thought the Ryman is huge and prosperous now, it came close to being torn down.

Finally, Music Row is said to be haunted by some departed stars of Country Music, like Hank Williams, Sr. Some have claimed to had close encounters with the 1950s legend. All along Music Row are recording studios, and music warehouses. No doubt many dreams have come true and been shattered along this way. Again, emotion is a powerful thing, and no doubt there is much emotion emulating from this area.
