THE STORY
Reported Haunting
The Fred Jones Building is associated with reports of unexplained activity connected to Dahlonega's Gold Rush history. Witnesses have described phantom footsteps, shadow figures, and disembodied voices within the historic structure. The building has developed a local reputation for paranormal encounters.
Former mayor Fred Jones passed away under suspicious circumstances at his Chevrolet dealership, now four stores and a café. He is said to haunt his old building, sitting at the café table right where his old office used to sit. The shopkeepers here have found their locked doors standing open and their displays rearranged, and strange sounds have been reported. The ghost of a woman who was a cook here has been seen as well.
