Georgia is home to sweet peaches, culinary delights, and southern hospitality like you’ve never seen. It also holds an exciting and rich history within the United States. But that history that we are so proud of, also comes with a price. With so much history comes a bit of paranormal activity, especially in this creepy small town.
