The Cotton Mill in Jefferson, GA – This old cotton mill has a been shut down for nearly 50 years but has recently undertaken a restoration project turning it into an event center. Workers have seen several unexplainable acts including:
-dark objects running at them and then bolt to the ceiling
-foot steps and moans coming from under the floor*
-real objects failing from above
-dog or cat looking objects appearing in pots and chairs
-Blurry objects appear in the background of almost all self photos taken in a certain area
*it was discovered that this mill used to have a basement yet now there are no doors or stairs to get to the basement and the family who has owned the mill since it was established refuse any questions about the basement. rumors say that there was an accident where the lst floor gave out killing 100s of workers and then the owners removed any evidence of there being a basement and closed the mill. These souls have been trapped until this recent restoration…..~~~~~
This is NOT true; Little John was an adult when he passed away, and he was not “mentally challenged.” He was called Little John all his life because John was also his father’s name.
My name is Erin Drossman- I am part of an empath and sensitive team to learn what we can about ghost and why they stay here. We would like the opportunity to come in after hours to conduct that investigation and possibly to help the locked spirits if we can.
Though I’m not psychic or an empath, you must need “go-fers”. I’m interested in your work and would like to talk about helping out. I’m retired so my availability is open.
Curious who I would need to contact to do a couple hours in this place!? I live about 15 mins from the location. Thanks in advance
