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…

At the old cotton mill you can still get into the basement ive been in there before there is a slaughter room in there and a boiler room and if you go in those rooms or in the basement you will get a really bad feeling ab it especially the slaughter room and it will feel like something is watching you from the dark spots and one small hallway no matter what time of day it is or how much light is in there the one hallways will remain pitch black
This is false news old Jefferson Mills shut down in the 1995/1996 time about 22 years ago not over 50. The newest part stayed opened a few years after that. It’s not hunted it’s i’ll keypad by fleamarket call The Real Deal. The mill has some great history and done need tails tacked on to it. The Bryan’s that started Jefferson Mills were find people that loved their town, community, schools and their employees.
my uncle was attacked when he used to sleep there

ok what about before 1995 ? that is a very old building, and all old building has a past life to them i’m sure ! but I seen all this, and would like to know a little truth since I live closes by this Area !
this building looks to be in ealrly 1900,s or 1800,s and they are things ,such as evil spirits, and good spirits that can get into old place’s The Bible tells us Evil Spirits is upon the face of the Earth !
and if evil has got into the building some one better do some good praying To Jesus to get it gone !
Well it’s about to be turned into a church so…

This is a historical newspaper photo of the workers who worked there. One man in photo lost his arm working there. I am related to nearly everyone in this photo distantly but my direct lineage.
This photo is not about Jefferson Mills in Crawford.
My family has lived in Jefferson for generations and my family has worked at the cotton mill for generations. This info is totally completely false and made up. There’s not one accurate piece of info in this article.
