This church is supposed to be haunted by the preacher who hung himself about 17 years ago. It is said if you drive around the church at midnight, you can see him hanging in the bell tower. Reports also mention paranormal activity around the surrounding cemetery.
Haunted Lineage note: The legend describes a preacher who allegedly hung himself approximately 40 years ago in the bell tower, with reports of his hanging figure being seen when driving around the church at midnight. However, local church members and nearby residents dispute that this tragedy ever occurred. The claims could not be substantiated through news archives, police records, or historical documents at this time. Some theories suggest paranormal activity may be related to historical deaths in the cemetery (including at least 2 murder victims documented in headstones) or potential disturbance of graves during TVA steam plant construction, though these connections remain unverified.
