Worley Homestead Inn
Built in 1845, this antebellum home near the Dahlonega town square became the Worley family's homestead in 1865, after Captain William J. Worley returned from the Civil War, and stayed in the family until 1932. For decades it ran as the Historic Worley Bed & Breakfast, and today, restored by a Worley descendant, it operates as an inn.
Local lore holds that a teenage Worley boy, Claude, was struck by a train, carried back to the house, and died there of his injuries. The legend spread when a photographer's interior shot of the 1845 home, rediscovered around 2003, seemed to show the faint figure of a boy lying on a bed in an empty room.
Paranormal investigator Joshua P. Warren's group examined the image and later discussed it on national radio.
