Railroad is haunted. Apparitions have been seen walking across the

spirits are likely those from the train robbery which was put on each
train ride back in Six Flags' early history. No noise comes from the
apparitions, however. They just walk by as if going to wait for the
next train to come by so they can have their hourly shoot-out with the
conductor and the engineers.

the first hill, go to the next hill bottom and stop. Put your car in
neutral and it will go all the way to the top of the next hill. It is
said that a witch is buried around there. The only evidence of her
grave is located in the swamp, about 300 yards from Highway 129. It is
a strange pile of rocks stacked about 5 feet high with nothing growing
around it. Legend has it that the witch exacted a toll on this trail
about 200 years ago. If you paid her price, she would help you cross
over the ridges. The locals left her alone and occasionally called upon
her during a drought. The witch died of natural causes around 1850.
Since she could not be buried on holy ground in a church cemetery, the
locals took her body to the swamp. It is believed that she helps people
over the ridge because of the kindness the local people showed to her.
Braselton - Braselton Town
Hall - The older employees at Town Hall will
talk about "Little John" inhabiting the house. Town Hall operates
out of what used to be a residence built in approximately 1910 by of
one of the Braseltons. The place later because a boarding
house/hotel, an event house for weddings and then eventually the city
renovated it in the late 90's and used to it to house its town hall,
police department and water utility office. Older employees talk about
things being moved, odd knocking and footsteps on the stairwell after
the close of business, and opening up the business in the morning to
find closed/locked desk drawers opened. Most recently, two
employees were standing in the upstairs landing in broad daylight
talking when they heard an odd knocking coming from one of the interior
closets near the window that is near the attic. One of the police
department canines visibly refuses to enter a downstairs conference
room that was originally a formal dining room. Little John was at first
thought to be some sort of myth created by one of the former patrol
division members to delight and scare the female staff members, but
some current and some retired employees can tell of the oddities that
have sometimes occurred in the house. "Little John" was
supposedly a son of one of the Braseltons that had some slight mental
problems. Little John allegedly occupied the house for a while and used
to pick up stray dogs as pet. He and the dogs mostly resided in
the attic until his death. Although rarely talked about, there is also
a report of one of the former Braselton matrons being seen in the
downstairs bathroom. Prior to the house becoming the Town Hall, it was
sometimes used for wedding receptions and other events. Supposedly, a
guest at one of the weddings proclaimed to be a psychic and he told of
seeing people dressed in formal attire from the twenties standing in
the hall and of seeing the Braselton female in and around the bathroom.
Being that no harm ever seems to be done, some of the employees just
laugh when things occur and write it off as Little John being in the
house. Some other employees are a little creeped out do not like
staying late or by themselves in the building.

deserted roads, turn off the car, and flash the headlights a few times
to conjure up the "ghost." If their visit is timed just right, an eerie
greenish yellow glow coming from out of nowhere may be seen making its
way slowly toward them in the darkness. Some say it's the ghost of an
unknown man whose head was severed in a train accident. He swings a
lantern in a futile search for his missing part. Others say the "light"
is the glow of the lantern swung by two lovers in their effort to stop
the train late at night. Their parents forbid them to see each other,
thus they planned this escape but were shot by her father who thought
they were prowlers. The "light" is a ghostly reminder of their tragic
love.

vanish. Fog rolls through the field. Drums are heard clearly in the
distance. Red eyes begin to pop up all over the place. As you reach the
main trail, the eyes become more frequent and brighter. You begin to
hear running footsteps and gunfire. The smell of blood and gun smoke
seems to come in with the fog, as it thickens all around you. Visions
of shadowy figures, with Confederate caps and bayonet's jump behind
trees have been reported. As you leave, it is much darker than before,
you can barely see to run through the field, and back to you car. The
fog, noises, and smells follow you. A wagon or shed type structure

is gone.

the townspeople burned the church/school with teacher and students
inside after learning that the teacher was relaying satanic

perhaps because the bodies were unidentifiable, or perhaps because the
townsfolk did not want to remember what was done there that day, the
teacher is buried next to the children and her grave is unnamed and is
marked by a four foot high pile of bricks. Loud, clear, but
unintelligible voices can be heard, apparitions, or as called locally,

Bricks taken from the grave have, in my experience cause spontaneous
fires of objects they are near/on.

collapsed on them, thus causing them to fall into the creek below
killing them both. The bridge now is paved and well supported. You can
drive onto the bridge anytime at night and shut the car off and all
artificial light(flashlights, headlights, cell-phone background lights,
pager blinking red lights, etc.)must be shut off and wait patiently in
the car and this black figure of an average size man will walk from the
end of the bridge and to your car and look into the windows. If a woman
is in your car it will most likely go to her first and will continue to
examine your car. If you crank your car, without turning on your
lights, and begin to drive off, the man will chase you until you are
off the bridge. Then the ghost will disappear into the night. The ghost
is there to try to scare people off the bridge so that they won't face
the same fate that the couple did. BEWARE: The ghost doesn't always
walk right to your car. Sometimes it just appears at your window and
can scare you plum to death. It is best if you do this during a full
moon so that there is plenty of "natural" light to see the ghost with.

that occurred at Berry. After making love, the young man and young
woman got into an argument, and the boy left his girlfriend in the
woods to walk home alone while he drove. After driving a little while,

wasn't paying attention to the road and he hit something. Assuming it
was a deer, he got out to look--and it was his lover! She was dead. To

direction of the cemetery you will hear the rock hit the ground once,
then a second or two later, you will hear it hit again. The man was a
farmer, however is quite malevolent. He slams doors, knocks on the
walls of the cabins, and walks around outside the cabins late at night.

the foundation of the chapel, locals say that upon approaching the
cemetery at night there seems to be an unexplainable chill that goes
down your spine every time you try to pass through the arch at the
entrance of the cemetery. (Be careful when visiting, because the
authorities have been known to patrol the dirt road frequently.) - It would be a good idea to let the proper authorities
know what you are doing and ALWAYS get permission.

Savannah - 1790
Inn and Tavern - This Inn was built in
1790 and is haunted by a girl named Anna She was a seventeen year old
girl who was shunned after getting pregnant by a sailor. The sailor was
said to have jumped out of the third story window and died. He haunts
the same room the window was located. Guests claim to lose things such
as wallets, ID's, and underclothes. They will later be found in
planters or behind bookshelves. People have also reported hearing Anna
in the room moving things around. -
December 2003 Update/ Correction: The story is that she was in love
with a sailor, but HE did NOT jump from the window... SHE DID. (He had
gone to sea and was not there to throw himself out of a window) She was
deeply depressed because he was going to sea and leaving her, most
likely never to return. It is said that she could see the sails of his
boat as it went down river and out to sea. She threw herself from a 3rd
floor window. There is also said to be a woman who haunts the kitchen
in the inn who used to practice voodoo, and a spirit haunts the
bar/restaurant area. The submitter claims to have taken photos
throughout the inn, but have not caught any anomalies on film. However,
when they tried taking pictures in the bar area, their camera suddenly
failed to work. Once they left the area, the camera functioned with no
problem. They also had to buy new batteries twice in one weekend, as if
something had drained them. On the second floor a linen closet, they
felt a foreboding presence. Later, when talking to a housekeeper at the
inn, they were told she had had a dream once of a man clad in 1700's
clothing coming out of that same closet. She had no idea that they had
a really creepy feeling each time they walked by it. The second time
they stayed at the 1790's they remarked to the clerk as they checked
in, that at least they weren't going to have to sleep in "Anna's room".
The clerk told them that the window she threw herself from was not
actually her bedroom at the time... her bedroom was room 101... which
is the room they was staying in! When they reached the room and
preceded to unlock the door, it wouldn't open. Both she and her husband
tried, the bottom lock was unlocked, but the deadbolt wasn't. They had
knocked on the door, jokingly saying, "Anna... come on, open up." They
returned to the innkeeper and she went up with us to check out the
problem. She informed them that the deadbolts could only be locked from
the inside and the innkeeper has a master key for those. She pushed
down on the door handle and the door opened with no problem! It was if
the deadbolt had never been locked, yet they BOTH knew that it had
been. The 1790's Inn (is actually spelled out as Seventeen Hundred
Ninety's Inn, in case you want to search the net for it) is most
definitely filled with an atmosphere of spirits from the past, you can
feel it all around you if you are sensitive to that kind of thing. They
heard noises in the room at night, and guests have been known to leave
in the middle of the night after seeing apparitions and hearing strange
sounds.

error or any kind of reflection. They are attempting to get the current
owner's permission to investigate further. One orb photo may not seem
like much, but Mr. Warren related stories about his employees stacking
chairs on the table so they could mop, only to turn around and have
them back on the floor again. Also, he alleges that as he sat in his

"Tunnel Hill Tunnel") - the tunnel and
the surrounding area was the site for numerous civil war battles, and
in the 1900s a man riding on a circus train was supposed to have been
decapitated there in an accident. Ghostly forms are seen inside the
tunnel. On the fields surrounding the area, several bloody battles were
fought. People have reported seeing ghostly campfires and lanterns that
disappear when you get near them, the smell of rotting flesh that only
some can smell, sightings of confederate and union soldiers that vanish
into thin air, and strange screams from the woods.
Winder - Alexander
St. - Mirrors falling every morning at
3:30 a.m. Hand reaching in window ruffling shower curtains. Drops 10
degrees once in a while. Doors will open right after they've been
locked. Seeing a very young woman walking through kitchen in a white
gown. Tables shattering.
Woodstock - Bradshaw
Bridge - Back in the 1700's a young man
hung himself on a bridge which is now part of red 5, the front 9 of the
golf course Bradshaw Farms, legend has it that you can see this young
man every night swaying.
Woodstock - Mill
Springs Baptist Church/Cemetery - A
woman died in this cemetery when she wanted to prove to everyone she
was not afraid of it. She stuck a pitch fork into a grave of a known
local witch. It caught her apron and she died of a heart attack. It's
said you can still her scream in fear. This grave yard is known for
many other happenings.
Worth County - Holley elementary School - there is to be rumors about a man who had hung
himself in is now the 4th grade girls bathroom, and on cloudy days if
you walk in the last bathroom stall you will have a feeling of
something watching you. also there have been many reports of girls
playing "BLOODY MARY" and many broke\scratched mirrors as a result. the
school is still in use and has been around since 1962. many other
ghostly reports have been made in other parts of the school, such as

Poole Home Place - Pictures fall over in
the house, chains rattle, hear people walking especially on rainy
nights.
Young Harris - Young Harris College - New Dorm - Many years ago, a poet/student at the college hung
himself on the premises where the newly built dormitory stands. It is
said by some faculty and former students that high up, normally on the
2nd to 3rd floor of the new dormitory, you can vaguely see him hanging
there from the rope tied to the ceiling in the later hours of the
night. You can also see him sitting out in the lawn writing in his book
of poetry. - December 2003 update:
monitors will turn on/off for no reason, the blinds will shake, the
doors on the closet will shake, the door entering our room will be
knocked on but nobody will be there to have knocked on it, and there is
often a lot of commotion in our bathroom. These things happen no matter
the time of day as well.
Young Harris - Young Harris College - Clegg Fine Arts
Building – Clegg Auditorium - It is common
knowledge over the campus that Charlie Clegg, the president of the
college in the 1960's, haunts the entire fine arts building. Even the
professors acknowledge his presence by saying, "Goodnight, Charlie,"
when exiting the building for the night. Charlie has been known to play
the organ downstairs at night, appear on stage, find lost props minutes
before the actor has to appear on stage, whisper lines to actors who
draw a blank, and even touch a few people from time to time. Although
benevolent and helpful, he often frightens people to the point that
they will not enter the auditorium alone.
Young Harris - Young Harris College - Dobbs Theatre - the early 1990's there was a janitor named Jesse who
loved the theatre and would participate when a particular role called
for someone who had visible age. He one day was driving home and
wrapped his car around a tree; his ghost has haunted the Blackbox ever
since. In the storage room, the noise of moving chairs and other items
can often be heard. In the classroom, the motion sensor light turns on
when the door is locked and nobody is in there. Footsteps up the steps
and around the building are common. Movement upstairs and in the
catwalks is also very common. While Charlie in the Clegg building
usually causes commotion at night, Jesse seems to be around 24 hours a
day- even while there are large groups and classes in the theatre.
