    I'm not from Georgia, but I am a Creek Citizen. Years ago, my father took my mother and I on that Antebellum tour. My mother loved it so much that my father wound up building her a home that was as beautiful as those houses we were touring💐🌹❤🤠

    I work overnight at a retail store very close to the mountain. Four years ago, I heard a woman's voice ask me a question in a language I did not understand. I mentioned it to employees that work the area during business hours. It turns out one of their grandfather's once owned the land. He said that the land was sacred to the Native Peoples. He also said that his grandfather had experienced some paranormal activity.
    Flash forward to 6 months ago, about 3am. I witnessed the semi transparent image of a woman with long black hair walking down an aisle. She was hunched forward, wrapped in a deerskin.

    We also have a massive granite rock that looks a lot like this one in Texas. It's called Enchanted Rock and just outside of Fredricksbury Tx.

    When I lived in Ft Walton Beach Mississippi on the Gulf Coast i remember all the beautiful Antebellum Mansions on the waterfront highway . The main Gulf Coast highway went right past hundreds of these beautiful homes, many had the old cast iron and brick fencing . I loved the Spanish moss hanging off the old oaks, some being well over 100 yrs old . That was early 80's ,I hear alot has changed since then

    I drove to a conference in Atlanta from Alberta several years ago, staying in a hostel in an old but elegant house close to downtown, which I found out after taking the Marta everyday of the conference. The last day being morning only, I walked back to my hostel, which was about the same distance as to the Marta😃One day we went on a trip to Stone mountain, which I had no idea existed, or the Confederate leaders carvings, and the train ride, thoroughly cool.

    There's a video called no forests on planet earth that alledges stone used to be part of living silicon organisms. It also alledges more advanced old civilizations mined most of these organisms and what remains is mountains--something like a stump of those organisms. The interesting thing is the ware patterns on mesas from these huge mining saws. Dunno if it's even remotely true, but I tend to think there might be some truth in it.

    Cool, Brice! ✌️
    We were talking about you and my niece both attending Darlington, so I was kinda hoping you'd remember me. 😺💞
    Anyway, since I live just outside Huntsville, Alabama, I was wondering if you ever did any sleuthing around here. We have the Burritt Museum, and historical Huntsville, with a lot of beautiful historic homes and of course the downtown .
    My daughter and I are going back to Burritt On The Mountain and the museum soon. It's a 167 acre park with a whole little town in it. All of the buildings have been brought in from the surrounding area. They also have special events scheduled throughout the year, guides dressed in period clothing, and a gift shop. We have Maple Hill Cemetery where John Hunt, founder of Huntsville is buried. I found his grave and he had his wife on one side and his French mistress on the other. I couldn't get over that one. Lol! That cemetery is cool, but there is a haunted playground inside there called, "Dead Children's Playground". I've heard some very creepy stories from friends who grew up around there.
    We also have NASA, Bowing, Lockheed Martin, and more.
    What's cool is now we have two different areas that have been reconstructed into eating and shopping centers, that the young crowd just love. Lowe Mill is the first one, but there's a new one, on Governor's Drive, that our daughter took us to last week. We had some great food and looked around. It's pretty much am outside atmosphere with music at night. It's set up for individuals, groups, or even a private event. It used to be the old Stove Top factory and they left it for decor. We actually ate lunch under an old mechanics bey. I really liked it, but you are more the target age for these places.
    Now, if you have more money than I do, you can go to the new Top Golf plaza and eat and play games. I hear it's pricey.
    Anyway, hope you make it over here sometime! 😺

    Sherman’s March To The Sea begins at Stone Mountain. Also, In Flannery O’Connor’s short story A Good Man Is Hard To Find, the family’s road trip begins at Stone Mountain and follows Sherman’s route. Sherman’s goal to “make Georgia howl” and his scorched earth’s policy are similar to the progression of the Flannery O’Connor story.

    Ghost Adventures and others have spotlighted some of the buildings in the antebellum historic square. There is a slave cabin that.belonged to a witch who was a violent ghost. One time when I took.my daughter there, we were looking inside and an unseen force pushed me down and I hurt my knee.

    Spent the summer in Atlanta in 1980, we went to the top of Stone Mountain, Antebellum Plantation, Swan House, Coca-Cola museum. Wish we had gone to Savanah. Sat on a rocking chair and drank julep

    Here in Texas where I live, there is a place called Enchanted Rock. It is inside of a state park and is a very popular hiking spot. A buddy of mine and myself visited there a few years ago and hiked around the mountain. It has a very interesting history that is worth researching.

    Check out Crystal Lake in Ashburn, GA. My great (x3) grandfather owned a grist mill and was hanged. The story about William J. Bone is written about from a good old boy viewpoint. The Lake nearby was later a resort and then, it dried up.

    Brice, I hate to disappoint you regarding stone mountain, however if you put that on the west side of the city where I live it would be right at home in what we call the foot hills to the Rocky Mountains.

    it is great to take the tram to the top of the mountain , then walk down the great mountain trail , and you can then take the train back to the main entrance . the Olympics had rowing on the lake at stone mountain also . it provided a great background . and yes their golf course is very nice . great history lesson . i didnt know about the KKK angle . the quarry is on the back of the mountain , you can see it during the train ride the auto museum isn't that bad .
    Milledgeville would be a great subject . the buildings at the old mental hospital are in great shape and have Lunatic Asylum 1899 carved in granite over the main doors . as kids we use to insult our friends by saying they belonged in Milledgeville . not politically correct today
