THE STORY
Reported Haunting
Georgia College's Old Governor's Mansion has accumulated reports of ghostly activity connected to former governors, servants, and Civil War patients. Visitors have described apparitions, unexplained footsteps, disembodied voices, and mysterious lights throughout the mansion. It is considered one of Georgia's most haunted historic homes.
This site served as the home of Georgia’s governors 1838-1868, then as a boardinghouse ntil 1879 when it was then purchased by Georgia Military and Agricultural College. Ghostly goings-on here include many of the regular type — linens thrown off beds and the smell of cigars. But perhaps more interesting are those thought to be produced by Molly, a former cook. Ghostly smells reported here include baking blueberry muffins, pork and black-eyed peas, all Molly specialties, and one time, the smell of burned potatoes that was so strong the fire department was called, but the source was never found.
