Following are the most haunted places in Young Harris, Georgia, where the echoes of tragic deaths and forgotten souls linger in the darkness. These haunted spots have witnessed centuries of sorrow, and some say the spirits of the departed are not yet ready to rest.

Young Harris College

: "New Dorm - Many years ago, a poet/student at the college hung himself on the premises where the newly built dormitory stands. It is said by some faculty and former students that high up, normally on the 2nd to 3rd floor of the new dormitory, you can vaguely see him hanging there from the rope tied to the ceiling in the later hours of the night. You can also see him sitting out in the lawn writing in his book of poetry. - December 2003 update: monitors will turn on/off for no reason, the blinds will shake, the doors on the closet will shake, the door entering our room will be knocked on but nobody will be there to have knocked on it, and there is often a lot of commotion in our bathroom. These things happen no matter the time of day as well."


Young Harris College

: "Clegg Fine Arts Building ''s Clegg Auditorium - It is common knowledge over the campus that Charlie Clegg, the president of the college in the 1960''s, haunts the entire fine arts building. Even the professors acknowledge his presence by saying, "Goodnight, Charlie," when exiting the building for the night. Charlie has been known to play the organ downstairs at night, appear on stage, find lost props minutes before the actor has to appear on stage, whisper lines to actors who draw a blank, and even touch a few people from time to time. Although benevolent and helpful, he often frightens people to the point that they will not enter the auditorium alone."


Young Harris College

: "Dobbs Theatre - the early 1990''s there was a janitor named Jesse who loved the theatre and would participate when a particular role called for someone who had visible age. He one day was driving home and wrapped his car around a tree; his ghost has haunted the Blackbox ever since. In the storage room, the noise of moving chairs and other items can often be heard. In the classroom, the motion sensor light turns on when the door is locked and nobody is in there. Footsteps up the steps and around the building are common. Movement upstairs and in the catwalks is also very common. While Charlie in the Clegg building usually causes commotion at night, Jesse seems to be around 24 hours a day- even while there are large groups and classes in the theatre."
