🎃 HAPPY HALLOWEEN FROM CLEVELAND, TENNESSEE! 💀🍂 Cleveland and Bradley County, Tennessee, have no shortage of haunted history, eerie legends, and Southern Appalachian folklore. And if you grew up…
[gentle music] Let's talk about some spooky stuff.
We sure do.
I'm talking, like, the, the whole town, the whole county comes out for this.
So there are a couple spooky stories in Cleveland that everybody knows about, but let's actually start with one that not everybody knows about.
Me and my little sister, Allison, this has probably been 10 years ago, we went on a haunted walk through Cleveland.
Mm-hmm.
And that's where I learned about this story, and it was really cool.
Yeah.
When they told the story, we were in the basement.
Ooh.
[laughs]
It was so, so, so cool.
So shout out to the haunted tour downtown.
The story of the Phantom Monk begins with a massive flood in 1867 that caused hardcore damage.
It's right there on the river, and it just got absolutely flooded.
And when it did this, it collapsed the railroad tracks.
There was a train wreck, and many died instantly.
A lot of people were hurt.
There was just mass casualty at the time.
