About Atlanta Ghosts: Why We're The Best

Our Founder

The founder of US Ghost Adventures is no ordinary entrepreneur. His experiences, from his time in the military to his travels across battlefields and haunted grounds, have given him a unique connection to the past. This deep appreciation for history and the lingering spirits of those who came before us is at the heart of US Ghost Adventures. Through the company, we honor the fallen by preserving their stories and blending history with the mysterious world of the spectral.

As proud supporters of the Parkview PSTA and many other charitable causes, we invite you to join us to explore the unknown, hear the whispers of the past, and keep history’s restless spirits alive.

Why is Atlanta so Haunted?

The city’s dark past is woven into every street and shadow. As one of the original seven Confederate states, Atlanta bears the scars of a brutal history, from the horrors of the slave trade to the devastation of the Civil War. The bloodshed and suffering of its past seem to have left a lingering effect, with spirits still roaming its streets. This unsettling energy continues to haunt the city, where history and the otherworldly collide.

Some of Our Favorite Locations

The Dogwood City’s haunted past comes alive through the gruesome stories hidden within its historic sites. Here are some of our favorite stops, each with its own chilling tale that refuses to be forgotten.

• The Fox Theater: The Fox sits on the grounds of a former convent that tragically collapsed, leaving no survivors. Visitors still report seeing a faceless nun wandering the theater’s halls—a haunting reminder of the lives lost beneath its foundation. The eerie presence lingers, forever tied to the site.

• Saint Mark United Methodist Church: This historic site holds a dark secret—many have reported seeing the ghostly figure of the “Midtown Strangler,” a menacing presence tied to the church’s past. Once, this shadowy figure brought his victims here, and now his spirit is said to lurk within the church’s walls, sending chills through those who dare to visit.

• Piedmont Ave Health and Wellness: Still in use today this place carries a sinister history, where a once-trusted doctor left behind a dark and mysterious legend. Some say the doctor’s ghost still haunts the halls, shrouded in secrecy and terror, leaving behind an unsettling presence that chills all who visit. The building’s eerie past leaves whispers of its gruesome history lingering.
