Wrightsboro Methodist Church
Raised between 1810 and 1812 by a fading Quaker-turned-Methodist settlement, this clapboard church is nearly all that survives of Wrightsboro, a backcountry town that had withered into a ghost town by 1920. Its churchyard holds the founders of some of Georgia's oldest families alongside Revolutionary War veterans and soldiers who fell at Shiloh and Gettysburg, and the congregation finally disbanded in 1964, leaving the county to watch over the silent grounds.
When a film crew arrived to shoot "The Hill," they say batteries drained at impossible speed, static crackled through their headsets, and one scene reportedly showed a skull-like face in a car window where a child's reflection should have been. As they wrapped, a crew member quietly asked their local contact whether the church was haunted — as if they already knew.
