The Warren House in Jonesboro, Georgia, is reputed to be haunted by the spirit of a Civil War soldier. The 19th-century home's ties to the Battle of Jonesboro have made it a focal point for paranormal activity. During the Battle of Jonesboro in 1864, the home was used as a field hospital for the 52nd Illinois Regiment. This bloody past, combined with the property's proximity to heavy fighting, is believed to be the source of its hauntings. Ghostly tales of the Warren House primarily focus on a single spirit. According to local lore, the ghost of a soldier is sometimes seen at night, peering out of one of the house's windows. Evidence of the home's history can still be seen in physical details. A bullet is lodged in one of the walls, and cannonballs have been found in the yard. This tangible link to the house's past reinforces the ghostly stories surrounding it. Some of the house's plaster has been removed to reveal the signatures of men who recovered there during the Civil War, another eerie reminder of its role as a wartime hospital.
