Knoxville's hidden, haunted gem
Haunted Tennessee just got a whole lot closer to home.
Located on the corner of Cumberland and Gay Street, The Bijou Theatre is one of the oldest buildings in Knoxville. Built in 1817 as a hotel originally called the Lamar House, the building has continuously switched through the hands of different owners over the past 200 years — all of which supposed several different purposes for the landmark.
What most people don’t know is the number of deaths surrounding the theatre, producing one of the most haunted structures in Tennessee.
