Loretta lynns haunted plantation

Loretta Lynn is a country music legend. Her haunted plantation home is almost as legendary as her career. Located in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee, the house sits on land that was once a Civil War battlefield. Several soldiers bled and died, and were buried on that soil decades before the Lynns took ownership of the home. Some say that those soldiers are still there, roaming the grounds and the halls of Loretta Lynn’s home. In 2011, Lynn welcomed the team from “Ghost Adventures” in sharing not only her home but also her stories with them.

One story the Coal Miner’s Daughter told was of her late son Jack Benny Lynn’s paranormal experience.

The fact that a plantation in Tennessee is haunted doesn’t come as a surprise. The most powerful hauntings are created by violent deaths. This is especially true if that violent death comes after a life of cruelty. The violence of war and the cruelty of slavery are a perfect recipe for a haunting.

There are two main types of hauntings. The first, weakest, and most common is called a residual haunting. Put simply these are like ghost movies playing through time. If an apparition repeats the same actions and doesn’t interact with the inhabitants or environment, it’s a residual haunting. On the other hand, intelligent hauntings are stronger and much rarer. These are the kinds of hauntings that see ghosts interacting with the living. For example, trying to steal boots. While that experience is shocking it is far from the only thing that has happened in Loretta Lynn’s haunted Hurricane Mills home.
