Longtime Hall County residents, and maybe some of you newcomers, know the story of the ghost that haunts Brenau University. And now “Agnes” is gaining notoriety on a national stage as part of a feature on university ghosts around the world on the society19 website: Top 20 Haunted Universities In The World
But for you who don’t know the story of Brenau’s ghost, here’s what society19 says about her:
“In the school’s auditorium, there is a ghost who is named “Agnes”. Her tragic story is one that is meant to be played out in a theatre such as the one she resides in. The woman fell in love with one of her professors. The man married another woman, and so, she hung herself and has been haunting the auditorium ever since.”
There was even a write-up about her in a Brenau publication 12 years ago: The Ghostess With the Mostest – Brenau Window : Brenau Window
