a Geocaching Haunted Observations and Supernatural Tales (G.H.O.S.T.) Challenge geocache
The Ghost of Lindale Mill
a known paranormal hotspot in Floyd County, Georgia
In 1896, Massachusetts Mills opened a new textile mill in Lindale, Georgia. The mill produced 1/7 of all textiles in Georgia. 1,393 people were employed by the mill in 1903. In 1926, the mill was sold to Pepperell Manufacturing Company, giving the community and school the name Pepperell. After 105 years of manufacturing textiles in Georgia, the mill closed in 2001. The closure dealt a huge blow to the economy of Floyd County, and to the community of Lindale. As the mill gave way to demolition and reclaiming of the heart pine lumber and antique bricks, the community of Lindale sat in quiet for the next 9 years. In 2010 the Lindale Mill was purchased by a family out of Seattle, Washington. The Lindale Mill is currently being used for small to large movie production filming, photography location and event locations.
