Is All Well Within Historic Norcross? Perhaps not...


Perhaps there are some Souls of Norcross who love our it here so much they don't want to leave.  Perhaps some spirits still linger in this little railroad town that boasts a very active afterlife!
How better to scare yourself, your family, or your friends silly than to walk along  the foggy streets of Norcross this October. The guides of Norcross' Haunted History Walks know ever nook and cranny of our dark alleys, tree canpoied parks,  and dusty underpinnings where the spirits love to hide.
Friday, October 11th, kicks off the 2013 Season of Haunted History Walks located in Historic Norcross! Join a tour...  if you DARE!
Since October 26, 1870, when Norcross was incorprated,  the train whistle can be heard distant from the south and north, soft at first listen, then crescendos to a dish-rattling rumble assuring denizens that all is as it should be, as it has been, in Norcross, Georgia, for more than one hundred years. 
Or is all well within Norcross?
For over one hundred years children have scrambled alongside the tracks anxious to catch a glimpse of strong black engines powering past homes, churches and businesses. Some adults have been known to step or stagger too closely alongside the tracks, never making it to their final destination.
Or did they?
Hear stories of those guests who checked into one of our four fine hotels in town. The elite of Atlanta would enjoy fine yellow legged chicken with real butter on their biscuits. Some of those who checked in loved it here so much, they just never checked out!
Family friendly, or at least the bravest in your family, we should say, may join a tour departing this season from the back porch of The 45 South Cafe at 45 South South Peachtree Street, our ticket taker, after he finishes his duties at the grave yard, can be found along Skin Alley! Signs pointing the way are placed around town!
