Once a grand home part of a late 19th century farm, Green Manor is now a Southern restaurant and event space known for its crispy fried chicken and Sunday buffet lunches. However, some staff over the years have claimed seeing objects moving about the restaurant, hearing water running in the basement only to find the faucets turned off, and even witnessing a shadowy figure of a woman on the porch.

Before this Woodstock restaurant changed hands, it was Hot Dog Heaven. That’s when the majority of the mysterious happenings occurred. A devilish spirit with a penchant for pranking often turned the hot dog cooker off or tossed a few buns around from the cupboard. Some believe it’s the spirit of the postmaster, as the building now sits on the site of a former post office. No word as to whether he still roams the premises now that the current restaurant, Rootstock and Vine, no longer serves hot dogs.

While not officially a restaurant, the Romanesque Revival mansion built by furniture magnate Amos Rhodes on Peachtree Street frequently hosts weddings and events throughout the year. It’s also apparently haunted. Many say Mrs. Rhodes died in the house, and some believe her spirit as well as those of children have been heard throughout the years. Others believe an evil spirit resides in the basement of the mansion. Lights turning off, footsteps, and even a ghost sighting or two have all been reported. During the 1980s, Rhodes Hall was a popular spot for impromptu haunted house tours around Halloween before it was renovated. Take a tour.

It’s a well-established fact in Atlanta that the Fox is haunted. There are even ghost tours at the 90-plus-year old Midtown theater around Halloween. Over the years, staff and theater patrons claim to have seen apparitions of women and a Confederate soldier walking throughout the building and doors shutting suddenly and experienced unexplained cool breezes. One story involves the backstage elevator, which automatically stops at the fourth floor. Many believe it’s the ghost of a woman who lived and died in the apartment there. The Fox now includes a swanky bar and club — the Marquee — overlooking Peachtree Street offering drinks and bites before and after shows.

It seems fitting that a theater and tavern named for Shakespeare might be haunted. Located on Peachtree Street in Midtown, guests and staff of the Shakespeare Tavern claim to have heard voices and witnessed everything from unexplained lights and shadows to seeing a ghostly figure or two floating around the backstage dressing room. Apparently, some on staff feel uneasy entering a top-level room of the tavern due to its many cold spots.

Built in Washington County, Georgia, in 1797, then disassembled and moved to Buckhead in 1967 to open as Anthony’s Fine Dining, the former Pope-Walton house has had many lives over the last two centuries. It’s picked up a few spirits, too. Guests and staff of Anthony’s claimed to have seen and heard ghosts lurking within the historic mansion, especially in and around the staircase. Some say they’ve witnessed plates and utensils tossed about rooms in the old house, too. Flickering lights, cold spots, and even an apparition of a woman hanging in the front yard have all been reported here throughout the years. Anthony’s closed in 2011 due to the recession. The building is now home to events and wedding venue the Estate. But, do the former restaurant’s ghostly residents still remain?

The former Roswell Public House is now occupied by A-Street Restaurant after the departure of J.Christopher’s in 2018. However, it’s still a regular stop on the Roswell Ghost Tour — and for good reason. The building was home to the nearby mill’s commissary during the 1800s and served as a Union hospital throughout the Civil War. As the story goes, a soldier fell in love with a Southern nurse at the hospital. He was later killed by Confederate soldiers. The young nurse was so grief-stricken, she hanged herself on the town green across the street. Over the decades, occupants of the building have heard voices and a piano playing, seen the pair dancing in the loft, and witnessed objects moving. Some have even reported seeing a figure in the upstairs window and a woman walking in the kitchen.

Nothing has ever been confirmed by the owners here over the years, but several guests of this circa 1927 hotel on North Highland claim to have witnessed odd shadows on the walls, heard unexplained noises, and experienced strange cold spots. Likely just the normal shifting and creaking of a drafty old building and its plumbing, some guests believe there’s more to it. The Highland Inn often hosts parties, comedy nights, and events in its basement ballroom.

Residing inside a late 19th century building in Buford, patrons and staff members of Aqua Terra Bistro claim to have witnessed everything from lights turning on and off to wine bottles and coffee mugs flying off shelves. But that’s not all. Apparently, unexplained voices are often heard in the dining room and on EVPs (electronic voice phenomena) picked up by ghost hunters. A ghost has also been seen in the restaurant.

According to some reports by guests and the owners over the years, this cafe in downtown Lawrenceville features a few spirits residing within its walls. One such spirit, Bo, apparently likes to play tricks on employees, including conjuring up the sound of breaking dishes coming from the kitchen only to sit back and watch staff scurry in to find nothing there — and no broken dishes.

Once home to Gabee’s Cajun Kitchen and Art Cart, this historic building in downtown Dahlonega apparently includes a resident ghost who makes the sound of breaking dishes, roams unseen with only its footsteps alerting people to its presence, and enjoys moving chess pieces around on a game board. It’s unclear if the current owners have experienced these ghostly happenings, too.
