Snellville Ga Ghost Sighting
I grew up in a Lovely House in a neighborhood (off of 124 by the Kroger) and some rather unnerving incidents had occurred throughout the years. When I was younger I had the laundry duty once a week and the dryer was in the basement....read more

Murder mystery dinner event
Gwinnett County Parks and Recreation will partner with Page2Stage Productions and Stacey Sparks Events to present "The Haunting on the Square," a chilling murder mystery dinner event at the Gwinnett Historic Courthouse. Leading up to Halloween, the event will take place 7 -9 p.m. on Fridays, including October 8, 15, 22, and 29.
Guests will explore designated areas of the Courthouse with paranormal guides. When spirits surface from a 100-year-old murder, it will be up to visitors to solve the mystery at the Courthouse. (Please note that all events and historical depictions for this murder mystery are fictional.)
Prior to the murder mystery event, the Gwinnett Historic Courthouse will serve a buffet dinner consisting of a penne pasta bar with options of grilled chicken, beef meatballs or grilled vegetables, as well as marinara or alfredo sauce. Italian salad, fresh parmesan, garlic bread, chocolate mousse dessert shooters, and tea and coffee service.
This event features improvisation from Page2Stage performer favorites, including Jason Caldwell, Kate Rasnick, Ariel Stewart and Ilene Miller. Jonathan Strickland also joins the cast, the senior writer from HowStuffWorks.com and an Atlanta improv artist. Beth Peters, assistant director of Ghosts of Georgia Paranormal Investigations, consults on the project to create realistic elements of ghost hunting and encounters.
Admission is $30 per person for Gwinnett County residents, $50 per person for non-residents and is suitable for ages 16 & up. Reserved tables for 10 are also available for $250 (a $50 discount). Advanced registration is required. Gwinnett Historic Courthouse is located at 185 West Crogan Street in downtown Lawrenceville Ga.
For more information and to register, call 770-822-5450 or visit www.gwinnettparks.com.

The Moonlight Dancer
By S, Dixon, age 16
In November of 1895, Elizabeth Hamilton was a young girl studying dance in her hometown of Snellville, Georgia. Elizabeth's mother, Cynthia, had encouraged her daughter to learn the art of ballroom dancing years earlier with the hope she may eventually develop into an elegant woman or at least be inspired to take up more ladylike hobbies such as needlework. But Elizabeth was not in the least bit interested in being "a lady" - her opinion of a nice evening included roughhousing, not playing house like other girls her age.
Cynthia's husband, John Hamilton, did not agree with his wife's view on the proper way to raise a child. Although he was merely Elizabeth's step-father, John was very opinionated about everything regarding Elizabeth, more so than most birth mothers of their own children. John did not want Elizabeth spending several hours a day dancing, something she did not enjoy. He would often attempt to persuade his wife Cynthia to allow Elizabeth to quit her ballroom lessons, but Cynthia could not be swayed from her beliefs so easily.
Furious with frustration, John did something he would've never dreamed of under other circumstances. He and Cynthia were having an intensely heated argument once again over the situation of Elizabeth's dancing when he simply went mad and impulsively struck his wife over the head a hammer. Cynthia collapsed onto the floor, nearly unconscious. Not only did the blow not produce the regret, sympathy or guilt it probably should have, but it actually gave John a satisfying sensation inside. In this moment, he had transitioned over into the dark side, never to return. John continued to beat his wife mercifully with no thought of cause and effect.
Just then, Elizabeth came home from her dancing class to find the scene. Terribly shocked, confused, and horrified, Elizabeth released a hair-raising scream at the sight of her step-father standing over her mother's body. By now, John had realized Cynthia was dead. He was a first-time murderer, but had enough common sense to know a witness would probably be the end of life as he knew it. John felt he must dispose of Elizabeth as well. He charged at Elizabeth full speed. John lifted the hammer above Elizabeth and brought it down fast, but she managed to dodge his swings. A swing and a miss. Duck here, duck there. Elizabeth's success only further enraged her step-father, causing him to throw the weapon at her and knock her down. Once on the ground, John had Elizabeth beaten. He ended her life, too.
Elizabeth Hamilton never recovered from her murder. From the afterlife, she was filled with hateful feelings for John. Because of this, Elizabeth had no desire to move on to Heaven or Hell. She preferred to remain on earth, even if she could no longer be among the living.
Some have reported sightings of a young female ghost and believe it to be Elizabeth, ironically ballroom dancing solo on the site of her early death in Snellville.
