Haunted History Tours at Fox Theatre
The Fox Theatre has a chilling past — one that you’ll want to hear about during the Haunted History Tours. For those who crave a deeper dive into the supernatural, book a Ghost Tour on select dates in October. Both tours share the same spine-tingling ghost tales that have made Fox tours legendary. However, Ghost Tours go one step further, offering exclusive areas not included on Haunted History routes, including the theater’s eerie sub-basement where countless legends (and spirits) reside. Expect shadowy figures in forgotten rooms, unexplained sounds and tales of performers and patrons who never truly left.
Haunted History Tours are available on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays in September and October. Ghost Tours are Oct. 27 and 28.
Capturing the Spirit of Oakland Cemetery
The tradition of Capturing the Spirit of Oakland Cemetery continues for the 19th year. Costumed storytellers will bring the tales of Oakland’s notable and notorious residents to life in living color. You’ll get to explore the mysterious beauty of the cemetery after dark and meet a few of the fascinating characters who made Atlanta the city it is today. There will be live music at the start of the tour, craft beer and cocktails to enjoy.
Oct. 16-19, 24-26
Where: 248 Oakland Ave. SE
Little 5 Points Ghost Tours
We know Little 5 Points is one of the best spots to hang out for a drink or to explore a thrift store, but did you know about the restless spirits that haunt the streets? Little 5 Points Ghost Tours show off the creatures lurking in the afterlife. The tours can sell out fast so make sure to get your tickets in advance.
