Fox Theatre (1929, Moorish-Egyptian Revival) · Midtown Atlanta Historic District · Civil rights history
US Ghost Adventures, the multi-city ghost-tour network, operates its Atlanta program under the local consumer brand 'Atlanta Ghosts.' The Burning & the Bound: Grievous Ghost Tour of Atlanta is the flagship product, a walking tour meeting outside Babs Midtown at 814 Juniper St NE that covers the Fox Theatre (the Moorish-Egyptian Revival theater completed in 1929), the 18th-century Saint Mark United Methodist Church, and the Biltmore Ballrooms, a 1924 Midtown social venue.
The operator separately runs Atlanta - MLK Jr: Walking in His Footsteps, a distinct history-focused walking tour examining Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s life and the civil rights movement rather than paranormal claims, and Atlanta's Spirits & Spirits Haunted Pub Crawl, a 21-and-up bar crawl. Independent corroboration includes a TripAdvisor listing under 'Atlanta Ghosts By US Ghost Adventures' and a Viator listing for 'The Burning & the Bound: Grievous Ghost Tour of Atlanta,' both showing an active booking flow and visitor reviews.
Sources
According to US Ghost Adventures, the Fox Theatre's reported hauntings stem from an operator-told story of a collapsed convent and nuns who died on the site before the theater's construction; the operator describes reports of fog, rattling chains, and figures in black habits inside the theater. At Saint Mark United Methodist Church, the operator describes visitor reports of spirits seated in the pews and wandering the halls without further specifics.
At the Biltmore Ballrooms, the operator ties reported activity to a 1970s plane crash near Atlanta that it says claimed more than 100 lives, framing the venue's decline as connected to that tragedy. Near Sivah's Hookah Lounge, the operator's narration attributes reported activity — including the sound of a bouncing ball and a child's laughter — to a MARTA rail platform accident it says killed a mother and child. All of this is the tour operator's own marketing and narrative material, describing what the tour covers rather than an independently verified account of any location's history.
A walking tour through Midtown Atlanta's most haunted and historic locations, meeting outside Babs Midtown at 814 Juniper St NE. The route covers the Fox Theatre, Saint Mark United Methodist Church, and the Biltmore Ballrooms. Held daily, rain or shine, year-round. Exterior-only; guests do not enter private buildings.
A history-focused walking tour examining the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the American civil rights movement, distinct from the operator's ghost-tour products; presented as documented history rather than a haunted-attraction experience.
A 21-and-up haunted pub crawl through Midtown Atlanta bars, pairing ghost stories with drink stops. Drinks purchased separately at each stop.
This same US Ghost Adventures Atlanta program is co-marketed and bookable through lizzie-borden.com/ghost-tours, a companion booking page US Ghost Adventures runs under the Lizzie Borden name since Lance Zaal's US Ghost Adventures purchased the Lizzie Borden House in 2021. The listed flagship walk appears there as 'Atlanta Ghosts: Hauntings, Ghouls, and Phantoms of Atlanta' with tickets starting at $16, alongside the MLK Jr walking tour starting at $24.99. Same route and guides as the usghostadventures.com listing, not a separate operator.
