FRANKIE HARRIS / NASHVILLE GHOST TOURS: "We've had a lot of great picture of ghosts this year. We've been getting a lot of those of a ghost at the rainbow room. One night we were at the state capitol and I was telling the story for about ten people and two ghosts starting arguing right in front of me."
THE GHOST TOUR VISITS ALL THE LOCAL HAUNTS.... FROM THE HERMITAGE HOTEL TO THE RYMAN AUDITORIUM. BUT IF YOU FOLLOW HARRIS HOME TO HERMITAGE ...THAT'S WHEN THINGS REALLY START TO GET CREEPY.....

"We wanted to do a spooky study so we got all the gargoles and secret passage way basically anything anything we could think of.....it's been a lot of fun and we really love the whole Halloween season.We decorate more for Halloween than we do for Christmas."
MIRANDA COHEN / FOX 17 NEWS: The Harris' say the best part of decorating is turning the ordinary into the extraordinary look at this custom made bookcase... it is actually a doorway to a secret passage way....just what every haunted house needs."
Nashville Ghost Tour Owner Frankie Harris says: "The secret passage is my favorite. We were really skeptical as to how it would work. It's this huge moving door would it make the wall collapse. I really; do enjoy it."
