For Hey Dominique! John 'Gunner' Smith Was a rifleman who lived and worked in the fort. His ghost is mainly active in the Dry Ditch area of the fort (The area between the walls and the body of the fort). Gunner Smith died during the famous battle of Fort Henry. He was stationed on top of the fort walls. His cannon malfunctioned and exploded, sending Smith flying backwards off of the wall and into the fort. He then fell into the dry ditch to die. People have reported seeing an injured man lying in the area where Gunner Smith died and have also heard the sounds of voices around the area. It wasn't during the war, it was just simply his gun.
