The ghost tours start at the Aurora Theater where guests can also purchase tickets.

Lawrenceville, Georgia's haunted house is called Terror in the Square. The theme of the haunted house is a 19th century psychiatric ward. Actors dress as criminally insane patients. According to the website, guests help conduct experiments on the patients and help "cast out their demons."

Norcross, Georgia

Norcross Ghost Tours are seasonal and are open during the Halloween season. Guests walk through Norcross while a tour guide tells them tales of alleged Norcross hauntings. Private tours are available for parties of ten or more.

Netherworld Haunted House in Norcross is a traditional haunted house. Actors, spooky sounds and lighting surround guests as they walk through the attraction. The layout is maze-like so guests have to find their way to the exit.
