The Ghost Story

Six Flags Over Georgia has been haunted since opening in 1967 - perhaps because the park was built on top of Creek Indian Mounds dating back 1,500 years. The ghostly activity centers on the Crystal Pistol Music Hall, where an actor named Joe was killed in a car accident on his way to star in the very first show.

Joe never got to perform his opening number, and his spirit has been seen at the edge of the balcony watching performances ever since. Staff report orbs floating through the hall and a man's voice singing after the building is closed for the evening. Joe has also been blamed for moving props from the stage out to the railroad tracks beside the building. Doors slam mysteriously and footsteps run through empty halls.

The park's railroad is believed to be haunted by apparitions dressed in 1800s clothing who cross the Lickskillet Railroad Bridge. They are thought to be actors from an early Six Flags show depicting an 1800s train robbery - trapped in their roles for eternity.

A blonde girl about nine years old was reportedly hit and killed by a car in the 1970s. She appears to guests asking for help, only to vanish moments later. Some believe her spirit wanders the park searching for assistance that never comes.

Whether the hauntings stem from the ancient Native American burial grounds beneath the park, the tragic death of young performers, or some other source, guests and employees have reported unexplained phenomena for nearly 60 years. The Crystal Pistol continues to host shows during Fright Fest, including the popular Dr. Fright's Dead Man's Party - where the living and dead share the stage.
