Marietta, Georgia · Historic house
Explore Georgia records bedroom shadows and figures looking through windows at Glover House. One family photograph from 1910 is reputed to show the deceased John Glover watching from a window, a visual puzzle passed down with the home’s ghost stories.
Savannah, Georgia · Other
A contributor to HauntedPlaces.org describes a running shadow figure, disembodied voices, and a white-clad woman in a corner of the warehouse occupying the Gribble House site. Visitors have also reported scratches and unexpected touches. The haunting tradition connects the site with the 1909 killing of three women; the present warehouse should not be confused with the original house.
Savannah, Georgia · Hotel
Visit Savannah describes a cigar-smoking man apparently occupying the inn’s roof. Inside, the reported activity becomes more playful: children laugh where no children can be found, and billiard balls seem to roll across upper floors. These distinct sounds and the rooftop figure form the mansion’s best-known haunting tradition.
Marietta, Georgia · Other
A longtime server described an unseen person behind her at the bar and her name spoken from an empty seat. Explore Georgia also records an unexplained formaldehyde smell in the basement, connecting the restaurant’s lore with a former morgue.
Savannah, Georgia · Theater
Visit Savannah describes whispers and footsteps echoing through the aisles of this long-running theater when their source cannot be found. Its guide presents the theater’s paranormal investigations as a way to explore those accounts, placing the alleged activity among the seats and performance spaces of the historic stage.
Dahlonega, Georgia · Theater
HauntTracker collects reports of pale, luminous shapes passing behind the Holly’s etched windows when the building is otherwise quiet. Witnesses associate them with a sudden cold sensation. Other stories concern flickering lights and mist-like forms on the screen, placing the reported activity around the cinema’s visual features rather than a named resident spirit.
Jekyll Island, Georgia · Hotel
The Jekyll Island Club’s ghost stories preserve the division between wealthy visitors and the people who served them. HauntedPlaces.org describes apparitions dressed as maids as well as figures in top hats and cloaks. After the dining room has closed, witnesses reportedly hear footsteps and other activity as though service has not quite ended.
Macon, Georgia · Historic house
Ghostlandia describes an elderly woman in nineteenth-century clothing walking the Hay House corridors and, in one visitor’s account, searching an antique chest of drawers. Employees reportedly find drawers disturbed, while contractors describe misplaced tools or tools sliding away. Cold areas and voices add to a haunting tradition often associated with work being done on the mansion.
Savannah, Georgia · Hotel
HauntedPlaces.org associates room 203 with a kindly Lady in Gray. Guests describe a gentle touch on a hand or cheek, and the woman is also said to appear elsewhere around the inn. Stories of ghostly children circulate alongside her, giving this Savannah mansion a reputation for affectionate rather than threatening encounters.
Marietta, Georgia · Other
Explore Georgia recounts a hotel guest leaving an elevator to find a Civil War hospital, including a surgeon treating a wounded man. When he returned with a clerk, the extraordinary scene had vanished, leaving an ordinary hallway in the building now used as a museum.
Kennesaw / Marietta, Georgia · Natural landmark
Accounts collected by HauntedPlaces.org describe soldiers walking the former battlefield, gunfire and cannon reports, and unexplained smells of blood or gunpowder. A less typical story concerns deer that rush toward a witness and vanish before reaching them. The military and animal apparitions are part of the mountain’s wider local haunting tradition.
Marietta, Georgia · Other
The museum’s ghost is called Catherine. Explore Georgia describes employees and patrons treating her as a playful, mischievous apparition. Volunteers reportedly rejected visiting investigators’ claim of a hostile presence because it conflicted with their familiar, friendly accounts of her.
Marietta, Georgia · Cemetery
Explore Georgia repeats the legend of Mary Meinert dying while trying to save her children from a fire. Her memorial figure is said to weep for them, with tears running onto the stone dress and leaving its bodice damp.
Savannah, Georgia · Historic house
Visit Savannah includes the Mercer-Williams House among the city’s haunted museums, recounting mysterious sounds and experiences reported by staff and visitors. Local stories attach some of that activity to Danny Hansford, who died inside. The house’s notoriety through Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil has helped keep those accounts in circulation.
Savannah, Georgia · Other
Staff accounts collected by HauntedPlaces.org describe dark figures and unusually confrontational encounters in the building associated with Moon River Brewing. Employees attributed physical attacks and even supposed possessions to angry spirits. The property’s paranormal reputation also brought it to Ghost Adventures, making it a recurring stop in Savannah’s commercial ghost-tour tradition.
Atlanta, Georgia · Cemetery
Atlanta Magazine reports Oakland Cemetery’s military roll-call tradition: visitors on quiet days hear a bugle and an unseen man calling soldiers’ names. In some tellings, faint voices answer that they are present. The account places the continuing muster among the Confederate graves rather than attributing it to one named soldier.
Savannah, Georgia · Other
The former women’s hospital has a ghost identified in Savannah lore as Mary Telfair. HauntedPlaces.org describes her appearing in the corridors in a brown dress. The tradition follows the hospital building into its later life as Telfair Arms, rather than referring to the separate Telfair art museum.
Savannah, Georgia · Hotel
Visit Savannah calls the Olde Harbour Inn’s ghost Hank, a playful presence associated with the building’s warehouse past. In the local account he was a worker who died in an 1892 fire. The inn’s haunting reputation centers on this supposed former employee behaving as a prankster among present-day guests.
Eatonton, Georgia · Other
Eatonton’s best-known ghost is Sylvia, a quiet, dark-haired woman in a full white skirt. HauntedPlaces.org recounts sightings on Panola Hall’s stairs, in an upstairs bedroom and hallway, and at a downstairs window. Explore Georgia also retells the tradition that she wanders the mansion after a tragic romance.
Plains, Georgia · Hotel
A community account collected by HauntedPlaces.org places a friendly female presence on the inn’s second floor. Guests have reportedly both seen and heard her there on more than one occasion. The story connects the building’s unusual atmosphere with its earlier use as a funeral parlor, without identifying the woman.
Roswell, Georgia · Other
Roswell folklore pairs Michael, a young Union soldier, with Catherine, a Southern nurse. HauntedPlaces.org retells their doomed romance and reports the pair dancing in the loft or playing a piano. Employees also describe sliding glasses, unexplained voices, shadows, and a woman passing through the kitchen of the old mill-commissary building.
Atlanta, Georgia · Historic house
Georgia Haunted Houses recounts a Mrs. Rhodes apparition, children heard laughing or seen in the mansion, and a darker figure associated with the basement apartment. The Shadow Man forms the ominous counterpoint to the family stories. The Georgia Trust also acknowledges guest and staff experiences in its own seasonal Legends and Lore tours.
Savannah, Georgia · Hotel
An employee’s account collected by HauntedPlaces.org describes a man appearing at the River Street Inn in tan trousers, a white shirt, and a derby hat. The brief report is distinctive for the figure’s clothing, but does not identify him or supply a particular room or date.
Savannah, Georgia · Other
Visit Savannah retells a tradition that Civil War soldiers linger at Six Pence Pub. Patrons describe shadowy figures, unusual noises, and abrupt cold air. The article links those reports to a supposed wartime morgue use, a piece of ghost-tour lore rather than independently established building history.
