Who are the ghosts of the former John Sevier Hotel which is host to many tragic deaths and at least one suicide? Discover who walks the halls of Johnson City's own television station. Who are all the children of the past haunting Johnson City's downtown historic district and where did they come from? Learn about the local and regional area activities of one of the most famous yet notorious gangsters of all time.

The John Sevier Center, formerly the John Sevier 'Hotel' - where a great many of Johnson City's spirits have come to rest. Also occupied by Al Capone in the 1920s.

The Little Chicago GhostWalk of downtown Johnson City brings you much in the way of early 20th century life with the history and origins of NASCAR, bootlegging, and moonshine running. Find out more about Johnson City's only mass murder and how the truth of this tragic affair, associated with the gangster period of the 1920s resurfaced due to the efforts of one particularly gifted psychic during our recent investigations in one downtown Johnson City building. You will even learn about the underground tunnels beneath the city streets and how they were used by Al Capone and his band of mercenaries - all while touring what was no less than what he called the "Appalachian Wing" of his whiskey dealing operation...
