Annual Ghost Tours Return to the Fox Theatre

Atlanta's Fox Theatre transforms into a cauldron of spookiness as it opens its doors for the sixth annual Fox Theatre Ghost Tours this Halloween season. Brave guests will walk through the historic theatre to learn about the Fox's 89 years of ghostly sightings and unexplained events. For the first time, tour attendees will hear stories from Mr. and Mrs. Fox, who will be joined by other characters from the Fox's past, as they share details of the theatre's haunted history.

Tours will be available for two days only, on Friday, October 26 and Tuesday, October 30 starting at 6:00 p.m. with the last tour beginning at 8:45 p.m. Tours start every 15 minutes and last approximately 60 minutes long. Tickets will go on sale on Wednesday, Sept. 5 at 10 a.m. Tickets are $35, plus applicable fees, and may be purchased at FoxTheatre.org, the Fox Theatre ticket office and by calling 855-285-8499. The ghost tours are not recommended for children under the age of 10; children under 6 are not permitted. To inquire about booking a private tour or a group of 20 or more, please contact the theatre at (404) 881-2100.

Spooks and scares will be around every shadowy corner as guides recount supernatural tales collected from theatre staff and contractors over the years. Other spooky stops include the hospital room, power room and sub-basement areas, including the stage freight elevator.

Over the years, many of the staff and more than a few patrons have claimed to have felt a sudden blast of cold air, seen a shadowy figure float along the walls or heard the slow creaking of a door shutting close without cause . . . will you?
