Seven Islands Church
 Seven Islands Church is one of the oldest churches in Knox County. Located in South Knoxville near the Sevier County line on the French Broad River, this church was founded in 1802. In the 200 hundred plus years since, it is said that some ghosts have come to reside around the church and the cemetery.
Among the paranormal activity that is supposed to be present in the region are strange spirits that emanate from the bell tower. Supposedly, one can feel "negative vibes" coming from the tower. Late at night, it is said that strange lights can be seen there. Also, some claim that strange shadows can be seen roaming about in the cemetery. It is claimed that these shadows may have something to do with witches, which are also said to be buried there.
