Tennessee State Prison

While the Tennessee State Prison is best known as the place where Tom Hanks filmed The Green Mile, the old prison is believed to be one of the most haunted places in the Volunteer State. For 90 years the prison was home to some of the most vile murderers, rapists and other hardened criminals. In fact, James Earl Ray, the man who killed Dr. Martin Luther King spent time in the prison before it was shut down in 1992.
