DICKSON COUNTY, Tenn. (WKRN) — A 200-year-old house that once held criminals may now hold something else. Some supernatural investigators said it’s something they had to see for themselves.
The Old Jailer’s House in Charlotte was built shortly after 1803. Although it has been rebuilt after a tornado tore through, it has stood for many years.
