Join local historian Jeff Clarke for a 2-hour walking tour of Athens, GA, Hauntings and History.
You’ll hear about the rich history of this college town, as well as its otherworldly inhabitants, like the ghost of a woman who weeps for her lost love, or the guests who checked into a hotel room and never checked out. Or perhaps you will catch the soft scent of a woman’s perfume on the night air. … A woman whose life ended much too soon.
With so many wonderful stories of hauntings in and around the Athens area, Jeff Clarke keeps the tour fresh and interesting for repeat guests!
Several years ago, Jeff Clarke began to dig a little deeper into Athens' history. He poured over police and newspaper reports, researched at the University of Georgia library, and talked to people in Downtown Athens. Clarke's research uncovered a vibrant afterlife filled with tales of love and loss.
Athens Haunted History Tours is the perfect marriage of Jeff’s love of history and storytelling. He combines these two passions with whimsy and theatrics, sure to engage audiences of all ages.
