Altie the Sea Monster. Altie, also known as the Altamaha-ha, is a legendary sea monster or serpent said to inhabit the Altamaha River and its surrounding waters in coastal Georgia, USA. The creature is a fixture of local folklore, with stories dating back to the Muscogee (Creek) Native American tribe and continuing through European settlement. Altie is often described as having an elongated neck, a mouth filled with sharp teeth, and a snakelike, spiny tail. Some accounts mention a sturgeon-like body with a bony ridge and the snout of a crocodile. Visitors to the area can learn about Altie at the Fort King George Historic Site, a popular sighting spot, and can even take a selfie with a replica of the creature at the Darien-McIntosh Regional Visitor Information Center.

Lake Lanier Ghost Town. According to the legend, the bottom of Lake Lanier, about 50 miles northeast of Atlanta, houses an eerie secret: deserted underwater towns that were flooded when Georgia created the lake in the mid 1900s. Rather than demolish the towns after receiving congressional approval for the lake in 1946, the state government left everything in place and let the water cover it up, including abandoned ferries, a racetrack and even cemeteries. While the story itself is enough to give you nightmares, the next part of the legend is sure to haunt your waking hours. Many people who claim to have experienced something unnatural at the lake — which has seen several freak accidents and deaths — have reported feeling arms and legs reaching out or brushing them but were unable to find a reason for the uneasy feeling. Have you ever visited this lake or heard the story?

Fannin County Fairy Crosses. Those in search of a natural good luck charm can make their way to Blue Ridge, where outdoor enthusiasts often stumble across fairy crosses. Scientifically known as staurolites, fairy crosses are stones that form perfect or near-perfect crosses and are said to bring health, protection and fortune. Fairy crosses are found in very few locations around the globe, with Fannin County famous for one of the largest concentrations. Several local legends explain the origin of these stones: some say a race of fairies or angels wept when they heard about the death of Christ and their tears became stones; others suggest the weeping of the Cherokee formed the stones as they set out upon the Trail of Tears. Regardless, have you've heard of these stones? Or maybe found one?

Tree Spirits of St. Simons Island. Have you ever seen faces in the trees around you? The next time you visit St. Simons Island, be on the lookout for the nearly two dozen tree spirits. Faces originally carved by artist Keith Jennings, the tree spirits are said to immortalize sailors lost at sea aboard ships constructed from St. Simons Island oak trees. As new tree spirits emerge each year, searching for these carvings has become a popular family-friendly adventure on the island. Discover the locations – and find out a few secrets – of these living works of art at the Golden Isles Welcome Center. And, the next time you think you see a face in the trees, take a good, long look because you might just be seeing a tree spirit. I believe this is more of an attraction a local artist made, but it's based off of spirits. Regardless, have you seen faces in trees?

Green Eyes of Georgia. While most commonly associated with the Atlanta Bleeding House, the legend of Green Eyes is also strongly linked to the Chickamauga Battlefield, which is located on the border of Tennessee and Georgia. There are different accounts of Green Eyes' origin. Some believe it to be the ghost of a Confederate soldier whose head was blown off in battle and now wanders the battlefield searching for his body. Others suggest a more ancient origin, linking Green Eyes to a Native American legend predating European settlement, describing a large, hairy creature that preys on children. Some even suggest it's a ghoulish creature or a demonic entity. Green Eyes is said to take on various forms, including a man, a soldier, a panther, and even a beast-like creature with huge jaws and sharp fangs. However, the consistent detail across all accounts is the glowing green eyes. Beyond the sightings of Green Eyes, the area is also known for other paranormal phenomena, including the sound of gunshots, screaming men, mysterious lights, marching soldiers, shadow figures, and the apparition of skeletons. Have you've heard of this ghostly figure?

Atlanta Blood House. For an added bonus in association with Green Eyes. It was late into a foggy Tuesday night in 1987 when the house on 1114 Fountain Drive in Atlanta, Georgia, began to bleed. One moment, all appeared as expected in this modest, quiet home. Then crimson fluid oozed down the white walls, seeped through the wooden hallway floors, splattered across the living room carpet, and found its way into almost every crack and crevice of the six-room brick residence. Now the story is so long that I couldn't share it all here. So I will provide a link to the whole story if you're interested. But have you've heard of this house? https://www.trulyadventure.us/blood-house
