Marietta, Georgia, incorporated in 1834, sits directly in the crosshairs of the Civil War’s Atlanta Campaign of 1864. Before federal troops occupied the city and General William T. Sherman launched his march southward, Marietta served as a critical railroad hub, staging ground, and hospital center for wounded soldiers. Centuries of warfare, disease, tragic town fires, and rapid Antebellum development have cemented Marietta as one of the most haunted communities in North Georgia.

Ghosts of Marietta
OWNER: Lindsey Coleman
Join us in Georgia for our Ghosts of Marietta as we tour the historic streets of this gem of the south with a past that is deep in tradition, history and quality of life. As with any community harboring these traits, some residents chose to never leave. Whether it is the tale of the departed spirit of a civil war soldier, or a mysterious resident of one of Marietta's stately homes or businesses, you will hear the stories behind these mysteries and maybe, if you're lucky, experience them as well. Our tour guides tell stories based on a mix of documented sightings, firsthand experiences, and history. Our tours operate all year long, not only at Halloween.
