BONUS: Lotz House
Show Notes: This drunk episode focuses on the Lotz House in Franklin, Tennessee. We have researched quite a few locations from this town, and highly recommend their franklin on foot walking ghost tour! Link below. This house, across the street from the Carter house, also endured the Battle of Franklin and needed major repairs after the war. Unlike the Carter family, there were no family members who sustained injuries or lost their lives due to this battle, but that does not mean the Lotz family did not encounter their own tragedies. This episode features a few guest stars, including an audio clip to inform our crew and our listeners on a cause of death that was common for the 1800’s but not as common anymore. After listening to this episode, it is time to decide who could still be haunting this home to this day. Is it a family member, or a soldier from the battle that took thousands of lives just outside the home?
