In the quiet town of Franklin, Tennessee, one woman’s loyalty to the Confederacy earned her a place in history—and perhaps something more permanent.

Sally Carter was just a young woman when the Civil War arrived at her doorstep. Defiant and devoted, she made her allegiance known by raising the first Confederate flag over Franklin’s square, a bold act that would define her wartime role as a spy. But unlike many women who took on covert duties during the conflict, Sally was celebrated by her community—beloved enough to help erect the town’s Confederate monument and remembered as a heroine long after the war ended.

Yet her story doesn’t end with peace.

Today, the house where Sally once lived is said to echo with footsteps no one can explain. Guests report strange sounds, cold spots, and a presence that lingers long after the tour ends. Could it be that Sally Carter—so fiercely tied to Franklin in life—refused to leave in death?

In this bonus interview, we speak with Alicia King Marshall of Franklin Walking Tours to explore the life, legend, and lingering spirit of one of Tennessee’s most enduring figures.
