Lawrenceville Ghost Tours Returns for Another Year of Fun Frights and Terrifying True Stories
/
Calling all ghouls and gals! It’s spooky season once again, and Aurora Theatre is serving up haunts with the return of its beloved tours that explore various locations in Lawrenceville’s ghost-infested history. There are three levels of festive frights for guests to enjoy. The Lawrenceville, Georgia Ghost Tour – the most popular ghost tour in Metro Atlanta – offers a fun, spooky time for all ages on weekends now through Halloween. The Haunted Cemetery Tour gives thrill-seekers a more daring ghost-hunting experience in one of the most haunted cemeteries in the Southeast. Meanwhile, Brews & Boos: Lawrenceville Haunted Pub Crawl takes adults 21 and older on a ghoulish journey where drinks are included!
The spooks that started it all! Lawrenceville is the oldest city in Metro Atlanta, with a storied history as a sleepy suburban town. As growth and development progressed across the metro area, much of historic downtown Lawrenceville was renovated at the turn of the century. These renovations awakened the sleeping ghosts and sparked increased reports of paranormal activity, thus setting the stage for Lawrenceville, Georgia Ghost Tours.
This 90-minute spooky stroll will take guests around the beautiful historic courthouse square and by storefronts restored to their turn-of-the-century charm. Whether it is tales based on local legends handed down over the decades or recent paranormal investigations, Aurora Theatre’s professional storytellers will regale guests with stories that send a chill down their spine.
