Thomas House Hotel

A historic 1890 resort hotel ranked #2 on CNN's Most Haunted Spots in America, built atop an underground spring on an ancient Native American trail.

Originally built in 1890 as the Cloyd Brothers Hotel, this resort spa catered to wealthy Tennesseans drawn to Red Boiling Springs' mineral waters — even President Woodrow Wilson visited. A fire destroyed the original in 1924, and it was rebuilt in 1927 with over fifty rooms. The hotel sits atop an underground spring and limestone, at the intersection of two creeks and a crossroad following an ancient Indian trail. Over its history, the property has witnessed three fires, numerous deaths, suspected murders, accidents, and even housed a cult. Guests and staff report doors opening and closing on their own, apparitions drifting through hallways, children's laughter in empty rooms, and disembodied whistling. The ghost of a young girl named Sarah frequents the White Hallway and Room 37. The spirit of Mr. Cloyd wanders the halls whistling and has been captured on camera as a tall shadowy figure.
