Being a major battlefield where countless people died, Stones River Battlefield of course has a few tales of hauntings. The first is about an unfortunate soldier who was beheaded by a cannonball and supposedly rides, sans head, about his place of death. It's notable that in death he stayed on his horse for a good distance (enough that witnesses commented on it), so perhaps it's understandable that such a gruesome death would inspire some haunting talk.
Another story involves a Civil War reenactor who ran into another person seemingly in costume while on his way to the ranger station one night. Confronting the stranger, the Civil War enthusiast witnessed the figure raise his hands in surrender, then fall down only to disappear.
The final haunting recounts the eerie sounds of the Slaughter Pens. Screams, shooting, and talking are allegedly heard in an area where some of the most violent fighting happened.
