In celebration of #SpookySeason, we are sharing some of Cobb County's most hair-raising stories! The Statue of Mary Meinert in the James Episcopal Church Cemetery is one of the spookiest spots in all of Cobb County. Mary Meinert and her family are said to have lived in a large house near the Marietta National Cemetery in the 1800s. According to her obituary, Mary died tragically of a lung disease just 4 weeks after giving birth to her twin daughters in 1898. Her striking statue sits eerily in the cemetery, and some say this statue weeps for her infant twins with tears so real that they roll down her face and dampen the bodice of her gown. Others say if you walk around her grave 13 times and say “Oh Mary, Oh Mary what happened to your babies?” You will hear a woman cry and tears will begin to roll down the statue’s face.

In celebration of #SpookySeason, we are sharing some of Cobb County's most hair-raising stories! Kennesaw House was used as a hospital for soldiers during the Civil War. Now it is home to the Marietta History Center and more than 700 ghosts! After the Civil War, the building served as a hotel, and one of the most striking supernatural accounts comes from a hotel guest. When the guest stepped off the elevator onto the third floor, he witnessed a scene from a Civil War hospital, complete with a surgeon bending over a wounded man. Thinking he had walked into some kind of re-enactment, he quickly retreated into the elevator and returned to the first floor. More recently, a child reported seeing a woman dressed in a light blue antebellum-style dress with pink flowers around the neckline and bodice while on a field trip to the Museum. This woman smiled at her and then vanished. She later recognized the woman in a picture at the museum. It was a previous owner named Mrs. Fletcher! See more spooky spots at https://lnkd.in/gx7GNeXm

Kennesaw Mountain Battlefield is one of the spookiest spots in Cobb! The grounds are open to the public with hiking trails and exhibits on the war. However, an eerie energy has been reported since this gory battle in 1864. Sightings of Civil War soldiers walking in the distance, the sounds of gunshots and cannons, uncomfortable cold spots, and smells of blood and gunpowder lead some visitors to believe the spirits of more than 4,000 Civil War soldiers may have never left. 📸: rexrobinsonimages To learn about other Spooky Spots in Cobb County, visit the link below! https://lnkd.in/gx7GNeXm
