Shelbyville, Kentucky, situated right between Louisville and Frankfort, was founded in 1792. While known globally as the "Saddlebred Capital of the World," Shelbyville has a surprisingly strong paranormal tradition. Its long history as a frontier outpost, Civil War site, and agricultural hub, as well as its old jails, historic hotels, murders, and the city's 19th-century downtown, has left behind several prominent urban legends and paranormal claims.
