Two-Hundred Yards From Home: The Carter House (Tennessee)

In Franklin, Tennessee, a small piece of lead sits behind glass. A surgeon removed it from the skull of Tod Carter, a Confederate soldier who survived imprisonment, escaped from a moving train, traveled hundreds of miles to rejoin his regiment—and then fell just 200 yards from his childhood home during one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War. His family found him alive the next morning and carried him into the bedroom where he'd grown up. He died there two days later. For more than a century, visitors have claimed Tod never really left. Tonight, we explore the Battle of Franklin, the haunted Carter House, and a question that still divides the town: when a place has witnessed unimaginable suffering, where does history end and the ghost story begin?
