The Walking Horse Hotel in Wartrace, Tennessee, is known for its friendly, though sometimes mischievous, paranormal activity. Guests and former owners have reported everything from phantom horses to the ghostly presence of a former owner. The building was constructed in 1917 and was once owned by famed horse trainer Floyd Carothers, who died in the 1940s and is believed to still be a presence in the hotel. As of 2024, the hotel is temporarily closed. Guests have reported hearing the sounds of horse hooves running through the upper-floor corridors, a detail some believe is connected to the building's history as a hub for Tennessee Walking Horse trainers. A former owner, George Knight, referred to a presence in the hotel as "Casper the Friendly Ghost" and believed it was Floyd Carothers. Knight credited the spirit with giving him a premonition that saved the hotel from a small fire. The ghost of Floyd Carothers is thought to still reside in the hotel. In addition to giving premonitions, some believe he playfully hides guests' belongings. Guests have also reported unexplained voices, the disembodied sound of gunshots, and doors opening and closing on their own. Room 11: Many believe this room is the most active. Visitors have reported intense feelings of being watched, dizziness, and nausea. Some have even seen an apparition of a man with slicked-back hair and a mustache. While some experiences are unsettling, the spirits are generally considered harmless. The former owner described the ghosts as more mysterious and playful than evil or demonic.
