Richmond Haunts long-form
Haunted Georgia: Ghost Stories from Savannah, Americus and Atlanta
Episode notes
About this episode
| Georgia’s haunted stories stretch from small towns and historic hotels to Savannah’s old streets and one of Atlanta’s best-known theaters. This episode follows five locations where hospitality, conflict, family tragedy and performance history have produced lasting reports of apparitions and unexplained activity.
The journey begins at the Windsor Hotel in Americus before turning to the Surrency haunting, a widely repeated account of disturbances associated with a family home and the community around it. In Savannah, the Marshall House and Foley House Inn bring together documented hotel history and the legends passed among guests, staff and visitors. The final stop is Atlanta’s Fox Theatre, whose elaborate interior and long performance history have inspired their own backstage stories. Across all five locations, the episode keeps verifiable history separate from later testimony and folklore while examining why Georgia’s hotels, homes and theaters continue to attract supernatural traditions. |
