Ghost Tours of Marietta
Come join us for a 90 minute, lantern-led walk through historic downtown Marietta. Think you know about the Square? Come hear stories about the dead who still patronize shops and restaurants, refusing to cross over. Would you believe us if we said you might have dined in one of Marietta’s most well-known locations which previously served as the city morgue? What if we said you might have gazed at art at the Marietta Cobb Museum of Art while reported resident ghost Katherine lurked over your shoulder? Learn stories of the most haunted building in Marietta which has been featured on several history shows and grim details of why the dead may still be there. Hear the stories of recent sightings and interactions we’ve been told by employees of several establishments on the Square and perhaps find out if you’ve unknowingly rubbed shoulders with the supernatural.
