Rhodes Hall For years, one of Kevin’s favorite spooky spots in Atlanta has been Rhodes Hall, the so-called “Castle on Peachtree” built in 1904 for furniture mogul Amos Rhodes. The home looks appropriately creepy with its thick stone walls, arches, and turrets, and it even hosted a haunted house attraction from 1984 to 1992! Today, Rhodes has revamped its image to become a classy wedding and event venue, but according to Curbed Atlanta, the ghosts — including Amos Rhodes himself — remain. The outlet reports sightings including, “ghostly appearances by a ‘dark, evil’ shadow man in the basement, the couple who originally owned the home, and noisy children ... accompanied by lights that turn on and off, disembodied voices, footsteps, apparitions, and an attic door that locks and unlocks itself.”
This Halloween, you can visit Rhodes Hall for the Rhodes Race at the Haunted Castle 5K on Saturday, Oct. 23. Head to GeorgiaTrust.org/Tours-Events/Rhodes- Race-5K/ to register!
