Gallatin’s Most Haunted
The Gallatin’s Groaning Gallows’ Grudge Ghost Tour exposes some of the town’s most terrifying tales, but there’s only so much that can fit in an hour. Gallatin is teeming with cursed locations, such as Daisy a Day which is believed to be haunted by two distinct spirits: a woman in a flowing blue dress and a child who lingers in the dressing room. Open signs switch on and off, and security cameras capture a flickering light drifting up the staircase.
Meanwhile, Pickled Treats & Antiques is said to be home to “James,” a spectral figure perhaps tied to the Guild family’s long-lost caretaker or a servant who lived on the property. Employees tell of strange sounds—like glass breaking—only to find nothing out of place, and of a tiny dollhouse whose front door mysteriously opens itself every morning.
Timeless Treasures offers more than vintage finds—there’s reportedly an entire family of invisible patrons in play. The store’s owner recalls early warnings about two childlike spirits living upstairs. At night, toys in wicker chairs have been found posed as if played with, and tea cups clink together as if mid-conversation. The centerpiece of these interactions? A miniature fairy house that the ghost girl evidently refuses to leave, having physically intervened when customers tried to purchase it.
