What is so fascinating about haunted houses, ghost tours, and the paranormal? Many people enjoy feeling a little "out of their skin," while others enjoy the thrill of being scared and vulnerable. For some, it's a history lesson that's rich in culture and information about other people's lives. No matter your reason for looking for a little spook session, Atlanta's attractions are perfect for everyone on the scary list.
Why Atlanta?
Due to the sheer number of ghastly deaths in the South, it's created such a booming afterlife attraction industry that it's a shame not to share their stories. Attractions like ghost tours are created to set the stage for a historical adventure to the area's past -- but not before making the hair on the back of your neck stand up straight. Haunted houses can be manufactured or authentic, but their mission remains the same: make you scream, jump, and catch your breath. Talk about making memories with the family and friends!
Ghost tours were originally created to make a history lesson a bit more, well, memorable. By creating such a rich story full of visual experiences, and some surprises, you get more than just scared; you're informed, as well. Many historic deaths were not graceful or pretty, so taking the public back to where it happened can conjure some uncomfortable feelings or vibes in the visitors which are the focus for ghost tours.
The Roswell Ghost Tour
The Roswell Ghost Tour, not far from downtown Atlanta, specializes in real life stories and locations coupled with a gentle walking tour. Paranormal phenomena experienced by locals in the area, current and past, are covered while diving deep into the spooky spots.
Their most popular 150 minute tour isn't the only event to attend; there are many other attractions, too! A Spirits Crawl Tour to help "relax" and a pet friendly tour are among other offerings in Roswell. If you'd like a taste of this unique experience, check out their packed photography page! Out of all the attractions available in Atlanta, the Roswell Ghost Tour is one of our favorites.
NETHERWORLD Haunted House
Looking for a real scary experience? Visit NETHERWORLD Haunted House in Atlanta, one of the top haunted houses in the nation. The crew at this attraction have been generating screams for over 35 years! Constantly upgrading and updating their equipment and embellishments is just one reason to visit this over the top haunted house; within a year you may get a completely new and thrilling experience. Expect to be up close and personal with professional scary creatures, surprised by ghoulish unwelcome guests, and truly swept off your feet in fear.
One event they host, called The Boogeyman, is based on this iconic childhood fear of a monster in the room. This interactive attraction recreates a child's nightmare for you to uncover, complete with suspense and plenty of unexpected surprises. Will you make it to see just how "real" this Boogeyman is?
In October, the perfect Halloween event is hosted at NETHERWORLD Haunted House: The Dead Ones. Skeletal twisted creatures are roaming in their house due to a lack of humans acknowledging their fears and superstitions. Almost as if when we ignore our fears, they are created in real life and we have no choice but to face them; this event plays on suspense and hidden fear to get you front and center with a truly scary and exhilarating experience.
Whether you visit the Roswell Ghost Tours, NETHERWORLD Haunted House, or any of the other fantastic attractions available in Atlanta, we're sure that you'll have the perfect spooky experience to be remembered for years to come!
