Spooky Atlanta Georgia Ghost Tours

This time of year, there is always a heightened interest in the paranormal. If you aren’t quite up for a gruesome haunted houses, try listening to local ghost stories on one of these Tours in Atlanta. The following are historical in nature, without gory zombies jumping out at you, but enough macabre to make the hair on the back of your neck stand on end. Well, we did throw in one zombie tour, but there aren’t any zombies that jump out at you, it’s more a tour of zombie related TV and movie sites. Know of other tours in Atlanta that have great ghost stories? Tell us about it in the comments section.

Lawrenceville Ghost Tour

The Lawrenceville Ghost Tour is a haunted history walk through Downtown Lawrenceville. The tour goes to the old city jail and points of interest along the square. Tours are led by professional storytellers, hired by  Aurora Theatre and they are quite good. Each one has their own personality, a barefoot undertaker, Greek fortune teller, Madame Macabre, which means every tour offers something a bit different. There is also a haunted cemetery tour, at one of the oldest cemeteries in the Southeast, a place where investigators say there is quite a bit of paranormal activity.  The tour is approximately an hour and a half long. Afterwards, visit McCray’s Pub for a Howling Curtis cocktail in honor of the ghost of the town drunk.

Roswell Ghost Tour 

Although I have never been on this tour, it came highly recommended by Field Trips with Sue readers. The tour is given by paranormal investigators and showcases paranormal phenomena that is routinely experienced by residents, business owners and even tour attendees. This is not costumed actors telling ghost stories. One of the highlights of the tour is a visit to Founders Cemetery, the burial site of the founder of Roswell, Roswell King. Here, bodies are buried beneath modern streets and houses. Grand Greek revival mansions and humble mill worker’s apartments are some of the haunted sites you’ll see on this mile of easy walking. We are active paranormal investigators who promise to thrill, educate and enlighten with this experience. It’s recommended to bring a flashlight and if you have it, ghost hunting equipment. Each tour is approximately two and a half hours long and depart from the bandstand in Roswell Square.

Decatur Ghost Tour

Your  two hour tour begins in the heart of Downtown Decatur’s Historic Town Square, a diverse enclave of quaint shops and restaurants that share common space with the ghosts of Decatur’s exciting past.  The tour stops at one of the oldest two story homes in Decatur where it’s been said spirits haunt the walled up fireplaces and move freely about the grounds. Then travel down small streets untouched by time to the old train depot where late at night… the cries of the wounded soldiers might be heard, or the ghost of the station master might stare back from across the tracks. You will never forget the twilight visit to Old Decatur Cemetery… some of the city’s most notable citizens are interred here. Be sure to bring your camera and don’t be surprised if you capture orbs and apparitions. Decatur’s dead are pretty restless. Every stop has claims of paranormal activity.
