Trixie recommends this historic cemetery: "Oakland Cemetary is rather expansive with incredibly mausoleums, statues, and landscape (especially in the middle of the night). There is a vast amount of ghostly activity and definately casts an air of foreboding. A must see for nocturnal troopers!" | |

recommends this site: WINECOFF BUILDING (1913). 176 Peachtree St. This commercial building with Beaux-Arts details was designed by New York architect William Stoddart for hotelier William Winecoff. Considered one of the city's finest hotels when it opened, the Winecoff has long been synonymous with tragedy. Early in the morning of December 7, 1946, a fire swept through the hotel leaving 119 people dead, including owner Winecoff. It remains, today, the worst hotel fire in U.S. history. After years of neglect, the building is under restoration. |

Jyphner suggests a trip to the site of one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War: "I'm not sure there's still much to actually see there, [though] it's definitely disconcerting to walk around the grounds and drive through those woods, knowing that so many men died in that very same place." Of course, I completely agree. | |

recommends this cemetery, which is allegedly one of the most beautiful
in the world. Jenn agrees: "Rose Hill cemetery in Macon, Ga
is quite beautiful, and the Jewish section is especially great if you
are into tombstones that are distinctive. Also, that particular boneyard houses celebrity remains. I won't ruin anything for you by explaining further." |

| St. Simons Island | Hemophyllis recommends this site: "If you get the chance check out Hamilton Plantation on St Simons Island- the slave cabins are mostly intact and just eerie. There are also slaves buried all over on the property, I hear, and the place is supposedly haunted." | |
| Waycross | Back
in the '60's, a dog went a-huntin' and climbed up a tree and never came
back down again. Years later, the petrified corpse of the dog was found
stuck in the hollow tree. Now, thanks to the good people at "Southern
Forest World," you too can see the doomed doggie, which has been
lovingly named "Stuckie". I know you're booking a flight to
Georgia this instant, aren't you? Thes-P-N submits a photograph of Stuckie, for those of you who can't make it to Waycross in the near future. |
