Thomson Depot
Built around 1860 as a granite freight room on the Georgia Railroad, the Thomson Depot later gained a brick passenger lobby and anchored the town's commercial district for over a century before its restoration as the local chamber of commerce. The old boarding house and first county jail once stood nearby on Grady Street, and generations of cargo and travelers passed through its doors.
Those who linger after dark tell of the temperature suddenly plummeting, an icy wave of dread, and the certainty that something unfriendly watches from the shadows. The presence is described not as a sorrowful lost soul but as something menacing, hostile enough that more than one visitor has fled rather than stay alone.
Locals say the old station keeps a guest who never bought a ticket out.
