The National Ornamental Metal Museum in Memphis, TN is rumored to be haunted, with reports of ghostly figures resembling Marines, unexplained whispers and footsteps, a pervasive feeling of being watched, and unexplained orbs or faces in photographs. These paranormal occurrences are attributed to the museum's history as a Marine hospital in the late 1800s and a Civil War hospital, with certain areas, like the morgue in the main building's basement, associated with the tragedies that occurred there. The museum's buildings were once home to a hospital for sick and disabled American veterans and later served as a Civil War hospital. The basement of the main building, which once served as the hospital's morgue, is also considered a hotspot for paranormal activity. Visitors have reported seeing figures dressed like Marines. Unexplained whispers and footsteps are often heard. A strong feeling of being watched or "not alone" is a common sensation reported by witnesses. Some claim to see faces or orbs in their photographs taken at the museum. Some paranormal investigations have recorded EVPs, which are unexplained voices or sounds captured on electronic devices.
