The Nashville City Cemetery is known for several haunted phenomena, including unexplained voices, ghostly lanterns, and apparitions. A prominent legend centers on Ann Rawlins Sanders and Suicide Rock, where people report seeing a woman in distress, hearing sobbing, and witnessing a man lighting an old-fashioned lantern, according to Ghost City Tours and Nashville Ghosts. Ann Rawlins Sanders died in 1836, and the story claims her fiancé placed a boulder and lantern at her grave because she was afraid of the dark. Visitors have reported hearing sobbing, seeing a woman sitting on the boulder with her face in her hands, and noticing a man in old-fashioned clothing lighting the lantern. US Ghost Adventures adds that the lantern is sometimes seen lit without explanation. After dark, visitors have reported hearing unexplained voices and seeing ghostly lit lanterns throughout the cemetery, according to Tennessee Haunted Houses and Ghost City Tours. Beyond the story of Ann Rawlins Sanders, other ghostly apparitions have been seen within the cemetery grounds.
