A special Flashback Friday for spooky season: Back in 2019 the Ware’s Folly building at GHIA was investigated by the Middle Georgia Paranormal Society, who shared some interesting results about spirits who they said may reside here. More recently, our executive director Heather Williams sat down with Sozo Bear Films to talk about her experiences with odd happenings in the house. What about you? Have you ever experienced something supernatural while visiting the gallery?
