A Tour of Southern Ghosts Review in Stone Mountain, GA
A Tour of Southern Ghosts is not your typical Atlanta ghost tour. Instead of walking through haunted city streets, professional storytellers will bring Southern ghost stories to life on stage.
A Tour of Southern Ghosts has been a longtime Stone Mountain Halloween tradition, but in 2026, the experience is changing. Instead of following storytellers along the lantern-lit paths of Stone Mountain Park, you’ll now hear those spooky tales on stage at ART Station.
I love trying ghost tours and spooky experiences around Atlanta, and I originally experienced A Tour of Southern Ghosts in its outdoor format at Stone Mountain. What always made this one different was the focus on professional storytelling rather than trying to convince you that every stop was actually haunted.
The new stage show keeps that same family-friendly storytelling tradition, with six Atlanta storytellers bringing tales of Southern ghosts to life. If you’re thinking about going, here’s what made the original experience worth seeing and what to expect from the new version at ART Station.
A Tour of Southern Ghosts Review
A Tour of Southern Ghosts is an annual storytelling event presented by ART Station, a non-profit Stone Mountain contemporary arts center.
Previously, the tours would take place along the lantern-lit paths of the Historic Square at Stone Mountain Park. A guide would lead you through a cast of six storytellers with their own collections of stories (one of my friends is a storyteller!).
This year, though, the experience is moving on stage at ART Station. The event will feature six storytellers with spooky tales of Southern ghosts.
The stories are sometimes a little spooky, but mostly they are funny. Some are heart-wrenching. They’re never too frightening, so they are appropriate for young kids.
The stories come from all over the South, so they’re not ghost stories about Atlanta ghosts. Rather, they’re fun parables that have been passed down through generations.
