Scenic Kentucky: Octagon Hall
2026-08-10 - Franklin, KY - Photo by Pam Capozziello
Pam writes, "This is the slaves' quarters on the property of Octagon Hall, located in Franklin. Octagon Hall is one of the most haunted properties in all of KY...it is noted that 40 ghosts are known to have been photographed there. I have been there twice and it is worth going there for the tour of the house. Admission used to be just 20 bucks.
While I did not get to see any ghosts personally, I did happen to photograph this shot of the slaves quarters showing an obvious large orb in the front door as well as a mist in the tree! It was not raining when I went there... if you are into spooky places, this place is a must to check out!" Comments | Permalink
