Welcome To Marietta's #1 Rated Ghost Tour

It doesn’t take long to get swept up in the charm of the Gem City of Georgia. But be careful, the spirits of those who have been here before you don’t take to every passerby with open arms. 

Ghosts, Grief, and a Gory Past

Come along with Marietta Ghosts to unravel the unsettling tales of those who once passed through the halls of the former city morgue’s doors but never quite left. See why this building carries the weight of so many sorrowful tales and experience the cries and struggles of those long gone.
