If you were to list haunted houses in Georgia, the following homes would be at the top of most ghost hunters' lists. The following houses in Georgia have a long history as places where ghosts regularly haunt. On your next trip to Georgia, consider these destinations as must-see places on your list of ghost tours.

Real haunted mansions are fun to visit for two reasons. First, they have a history that can be traced to particular individuals. Second, they are usually very easy to find. While there are many houses that people claim are haunted, most have a history that is difficult, if not impossible, to trace.

• Wayne-Gordon House, Savannah. Willie and Nelly Gordon were the parents of Juliette Gordon, founder of the Girl Scouts. They had been married for many years when Willie died. However, the love affair didn’t end in death. The evening Nelly passed away, several family members reported seeing Willie’s ghost appear and enter Nelly’s bedroom. Shortly afterwards, Nelly died. Everyone who was at the house on the evening of his visit believed that Willie had returned to bring his wife over to the other side.

• Forsythe Park Inn, Savannah. At one time, Aaron and Lois Churchill owned the home and resided there with their adopted daughter, Lottie. Lois took in her younger sister, Anna, who was ill. Lottie caught Anna and Aaron in a romantic embrace, and decided to stop that relationship dead in its tracks. To accomplish this, Lottie decided to poison the tea being served in the afternoon. Anna choked and died on the poisoned concoction while Lottie confessed her deed to Lois. Lois told Lottie that Anna was actually her real mother. Unfortunately, Lottie was driven insane on the spot, and ended up spending the rest of her life in a mental institution. It is believed that the child-like laughter that can be heard all hours at this home is that of Lottie.

• Birthday Cake House, Athens. This house is located on Milledge Avenue just off campus of the University of Georgia. Currently, the Alpha Gamma Delta sorority is using the home. In 1979, a girl from this sorority committed suicide when her boyfriend broke off their engagement. Girls who live in the same room reportedly become engaged also. The ghost of the departed girl frequently appears walking the hallways near her old room.

• Panola Hall, Eatonton. The ghost of a young woman named Sylvia haunts this beautiful home. Although no one knows the ghost's real name, the home's owners gave her the name. Sylvia has a reputation for being a snob, and only reveals herself to people described as her equal in social class. People who have seen her describe her as wearing a white hoop-skirt dress and a red damask rose in her hair.

• Warren House, Jonesboro. This house served first as a Confederate hospital during the Civil War, and then as Union headquarters towards the end of the war. People have reported seeing a Confederate soldier holding a candle in the windows at night, and there is a bloodstain in the attic that can't be cleaned. The cemetery across the street is also reported to be haunted.

• Hampton Lillibridge House, Savannah. This house is probably best known as the Mercer House, owned by Jim Williams from the book, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Mr. Williams died in this home in 1990. Many paranormal events have been documented here, including a ghostly gray-haired man appearing, foot steps in the upper floors when no one was upstairs and screams at night. In 1963, an exorcism was performed in order to rid the house of these spirits.
