Fairburn - Peter's Woods - There's an old cemetery in the woods haunted by an Amish girl who was in love with a non-Amish boy. Her father found out and told her she could never see the boy again. The girl went into the woods and hung herself. Sometimes you see her ghost on the side of the road and stop to pick her up & she tells you to go to her house. Once you stop you see her father run out of the house & start screaming at her & she runs into the woods. If you chase her, you get deep into the woods & feel something brush the top of your head & you look up to see her body hanging from a tree. Then you look again & see nothing but the remnants of an old house & a small family cemetery.

Valdosta - Spook Bridge - Right near the Quitman line, take hwy 84 W, turn left at the caution light right before you get to Quitman, and go down to the first dirt road to the left. A dead end... This is an old bridge crossing water that is no longer in use. Said to be used in satanic rituals many years ago. You park at the dead end and walk the path to the bridge. The minute you cross the dirt path onto the old concrete bridge, you feel the fear and cold. You see images of people walking toward you and can feel them touching you. There is said to be a "line of light" that few can cross. You hear screams and voices and feel a great deal of fear. Very Scary!!
Valdosta - Warrens Blue Bayou - It was said that when this bar use to be a house, the former owner hung himself in his office locking the door behind him. Now during the night chairs end up on the floor after being put up the night before. The recent owner apparently was locked out of the office room after she went to use the bathroom. On another occasion, patrons starting screaming vulgar words towards the ghost, when as soon as they where done the lights and sound just cut off for a minute and a cold chill ran through the room. - May 2004 update. An investigator reports they went with two other members of their team and the (then) owner to the building that was known as Warren's Blue Bayou, formerly the Bell House (named after James Bell, who built it around the turn of the century) and currently known as Vito's Restaurant. Although they did not get any emf readings, temperature drops, or evp's, they did manage to get an orb photo. The images are very clear and bright. They had it analyzed by professional developers who could not explain it as a developing error or any kind of reflection. They are attempting to get the current owner's permission to investigate further. One orb photo may not seem like much, but Mr. Warren related stories about his employees stacking chairs on the table so they could mop, only to turn around and have them back on the floor again. Also, he alleges that as he sat in his office doing paperwork, he felt a forceful thump on his chest. When he looked down, there was a wet spot approximately the size of a man's fist on his chest.
Tifton - Hickory Springs - Information not known on incident happening in the late 1900's. The story says that if you are to walk behind the church there is a trail behind it leading into the woods. You may hear things running through the woods to meet you at the end of the trail. The objects will make odd noises like a panther. It’s a really high-pitched scream that will send chills up your spine. Residents from miles away can hear the screams from all around the church. - Update; you can't go to Hickory Springs at night, because there is a no trespassing sign and cameras everywhere. If you trespass, you will be arrested. You can go there during the day though the groundskeeper will shoot trespassers.
