The Old South Pittsburg Hospital in Pittsburg, TN is said to have menacing ghosts that roam its empty halls. Once a functioning hospital, it is believed to be built over an underground spring and been the site of a base for Union soldiers during a bloody Civil War battle.

On this episode of South of Spooky, hosts Gavin Jackson and AT Shire join the team from South Carolina Paranormal Research and Investigations to explore the notorious haunted abandoned hospital.
