The Spookiest Day of the year has finally arrived!

And as we dress up like ghosts, ghouls and goblins, telling many a haunted tale around a roaring fire, these fictional narratives pale in comparison to many real-life hauntings and encounters with the paranormal that send chills down the spines of even the most fearless among us.

In the metro Atlanta area, one popular excursion telling realistic and ominous ghost stories is Aurora Theatre’s Lawrenceville Ghost Tours.
