The Fitzpatrick Hotel

A historic hotel on Washington's town square, built in 1898 on what may have been a late 1700s cemetery. It closed for decades and reopened in 2004 after a full restoration — and got a visit from the Ghost Brothers.

The Fitzpatrick Hotel in Washington, Georgia dates to 1898 and was built atop a cemetery from the late 1700s. Washington is considered the most haunted town per capita in Georgia and contains more antebellum homes per capita than any other Georgia town. It also harbors the mystery of the Lost Confederate Gold.

The hotel's most well-known ghost is a lady in green whose appearance is accompanied by the sweet scent of floral perfume. Phantom music emanates from the empty ballroom between dusk and dawn. Room 307 has become a hotspot for paranormal activity, where investigators captured remarkably clear EVP responses to direct questions.

The TV show "Ghost Brothers" investigated the hotel to solve the mysterious hauntings. Many believe multiple female spirits reside here, tied to tragic deaths. Room 200 is haunted by the Fitzpatrick sisters who once shared the room - one died from illness, the other from a fall down the back stairs. Both were brought back to this room to die.

Another ghost is Sarah, a housekeeper who fell in love with a hotel guest and became pregnant. When the guest discovered this, he abandoned her, leaving Sarah heartbroken. There are also stories of jilted lovers and people taking fatal leaps from the windows.

Guests hear voices and footsteps when no one is around. Objects move on their own. Doors open and close, and lights turn on and off inexplicably. The hotel has been investigated by paranormal teams from across the country.

Local historian Robert Willingham notes: "The hotel has seen good days and very bad days." Today, those bad days seem to repeat themselves each night as the spirits of the Fitzpatrick Hotel refuse to check out.
