We're kicking off autumn with two ghost stories from a Savannah newspaper!  The paper casually reports some very supernatural events as casually as any other news.

History, Mystery, Murder and Mayhem walking tours of downtown Clarkesville will be every weekend from September 15 until October 30!  Meet at the theater in downtown Clarkesville- Friday and Saturday at 7:00, Sunday at 5:00.  Spend an hour with tales of Habersham’s history, notable people, crimes, and a ghost story… actually a few ghost stories!

$10.00 per person- pay at the theater.  Cash, Card, or Venmo.

Just as an experiment I took an entire article about a disgraced pastor in Banks County from the Atlanta Constitution and uploaded it to ChatGPT.  Chat GPT is an artificial intelligence, and it used it's processes to turn the news article into a story.  All the facts are true, and it does turn a fairly dry newspaper account into a lively story.
