| Lawrenceville, Georgia Ghost Tours |
| The fright-filled fun that started it all! Lawrenceville is the oldest city in Metro Atlanta, with a storied history as a sleepy suburban town. As growth and development progressed across the region, much of historic downtown Lawrenceville was renovated at the turn of the century. These renovations awakened the sleeping ghosts and sparked increased reports of paranormal activity, thus setting the stage for Lawrenceville, Georgia Ghost Tours. |
| This 90-minute spooky stroll will take guests around the beautiful historic courthouse square and by storefronts restored to their turn-of-the-century charm. Whether it is tales based on local legends handed down over the decades or recent paranormal investigations, Aurora Theatre’s professional storytellers will regale guests with stories sure to send a chill down their spine. |
| Oct. 13-28 Fridays and Saturdays at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. Sundays at 7:30 p.m. |
| Additional times: Oct. 8, 15, 19, 25 – 26, 29 – 31 at 7:30 p.m. |

Haunted Cemetery Tours |
| A tour for the bravest adventurers. The Historic Lawrenceville Cemetery is one of the Southeast’s oldest and most haunted cemeteries, occupied by burial sites for the town’s earliest settlers and founders. On this 90-minute tour, Aurora’s master storytellers will share creepy tales about the paranormal hotspot and its residents. Many of the thrilling anecdotes are the guides’ personal experiences at the cemetery, including sightings of orbs and ectoplasm and the capturing of an EVP (electronic voice phenomena). Due to the scary nature of the tour, guests must be at least 13 years old to participate. |
