According to US Ghost Adventures, Kennesaw House's basement is haunted by restless Civil War soldiers and a mysterious woman, tied to the building's history as a stop on the Great Locomotive Chase. At the Marietta Cobb Museum of Art, the operator attributes reported activity to a benevolent female spirit nicknamed Catherine. At St. James Cemetery, the operator's narration centers on crying statues and mysterious whispers, including the story of a child beauty queen's unsolved death.
