Frightful fun returns this fall to a once forgotten sleepy Southern town with Aurora Theatre’s annual Lawrenceville Ghost Tours, October 1-31!
Sharing spooky stories of historical haunts and paranormal
activity, costumed storytellers guide the living (and along with a few undead)
through a 90-minute stroll around the picturesque downtown square. By way of
Honest Alley, the haunted jail, and other devilish destinations, metro-Atlanta’s
most popular ghost tour unveils the mysterious myths and legends during a
witching hour moonlit walk.
“The ghost tour is meant to be a fun family-friendly outing,
as it’s free of grotesque and startling effects,” said
Anthony Rodriguez, Aurora Theatre Producing Artistic Director. “We’re proud to
have so much rich history in Lawrenceville that allows us to invite families to
explore the town like they’ve never done before; these vibrant stories mixed
with the vivacious personalities of the storytellers end up creating a spooky
treat for residents and visitors!”
Hailed for its eerie encounters with EVP (electronic voice
phenomena) and floating orbs, the Haunted Cemetery Tour is for brave souls
seeking an extra frightful delight, October 9-31! Not for the faint of
heart, thrill seekers follow Madame Macabre (Cynthia Rintye) through tombstone
paths as she recounts her own chilling tale that inspired this tour! Guests
should wear closed-toe shoes, bring a flashlight, and be at least 13-years-old to
participate; a signed release form will be required for every attendee.
A frightful delight for the entire family (well, except the
little tykes who scare easily!), Lawrenceville Ghost Tours is presented every
day in October with the Haunted Cemetery Tour bringing
screams of fun October 9-31.
