Oakland Cemetery in Atlanta, Georgia has quite a few famous faces who have been buried within the gates, from Margaret Mitchell to Maynard Jackson.
What was originally built in the 1800s, this important cemetery ended up being the burial spot for nearly 7,000 Confederate soldiers during the Civil War, 3,000 of which remain unknown.
But what makes this cemetery such a paranormal hotspot, is that despite the war being over for well over a century, people have still claimed to see apparitions of soldiers wandering the grounds.
Perhaps the most chilling story to come from this cemetery is when a visitor heard Confederate soldiers doing a roll call in the distance, and his name was added into the call.
