The Bell House

Built around the turn of the 20th century, this house is named for Dr. David S. Bell, a traveling medicine man who sold tonics and potions — including one called "Re-Nue-U" — rather than a licensed physician; he died in 1964, and stories of strange occurrences in the house began not long after. Over the decades the building has served as a bed and breakfast and several different restaurants, most recently Vito's Pizzeria, and it has drawn repeated paranormal investigation, including a 1990s study by parapsychologist Dr. William Roll and students from the State University of West Georgia and a multi-year investigation by Southern Ghost Hunters starting in 2004. Staff and investigators across those years have reported chairs stacked for cleaning turning up back on the floor, lights and sound cutting out and returning without explanation, sudden cold chills, and photographed orbs that professional photo analysts couldn't explain as reflections or developing errors.
