Marietta/Cobb Museum of Art
A block off Marietta Square, the museum fills a Greek Revival building raised in 1909 as the town's post office, a role it kept until 1963 before becoming the Cobb County library and, in 1990, a fine arts museum. Staff and patrons have long spoken of Catherine, a playful spirit said to linger in the upstairs storage area and tied in local lore to the wife of the building's first postmaster, waiting for a husband who never returns.
Her mischief stays gentle: gallery spotlights found tilted toward the ceiling overnight, unexplained bangs, the office rope partition strewn across the floor. An elevator repairman is among those who claimed to glimpse her, and volunteers famously dismissed a paranormal team's report of a "vengeful presence," insisting their ghost was far too playful for that.
