Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Public Reaction to Ghost Hunting (Starts at 01:31)

• Team members recount experiences wearing “Atlanta Ghost Hunters” shirts and the resulting public skepticism and curiosity, especially in urban or diverse communities.
• Andy (Atlanta Ghost Hunter):
  • Notes that "95% of the people that ever contact us are women." Suggests that women are more open to the paranormal, while men often deny or avoid it.

    “I think it has. Women are in tune with nature. There's something there…Guys, I think it's just a control issue.” (02:51)

• The ghost hunters do not charge for their investigations, making their motivations genuine curiosity and a search for answers, not profit.

  “We don't charge anything for it…I've experienced things…over the past 20 years and I really wanted to find out more about this whole phenomenon…” (03:50)

---

2. The Napier House – A Relocated Haunted Mansion (04:24)

• The Napier House, a mansion originally from Macon, is now situated in Morrow, GA, near South Lake Mall. It's notable for its connection to the classic Allman Brothers song, “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed,” allegedly tied to the house's history.
• History:
  • The city of Morrow bought multiple endangered historic homes for $1 each and spent significant funds relocating and restoring them.
  • The Napier family, original owners of the house, had strong ties to the Civil War, with Mr. Napier funding the Confederate cause.
  • Numerous children died young in the home, including a boy named Leroy.
• Paranormal activity persisted even after the homes were moved, suggesting ghosts “followed along.”

  “Apparently they did. They followed along and in some of the cases they were happy that we were there. In others, not so much.” (06:28)

---

3. Reported Paranormal Phenomena (06:36)

• Pre-investigation claims:
  • Alarm systems triggering daily at exactly 10:25 AM with no explanation.
  • Christmas pictures mysteriously turned sideways in the bakery hallway.
  • Staff and customers reported “voices, knocks on the walls” and other strange occurrences daily.
  • The house currently houses a bakery, “Southern Pound Cakes,” and an art gallery.
• Light-hearted moment:
  • The co-host jokes about the potential threat of "unleashing a portal to hell" by simply opening a box of pound cake from the bakery.

    “I don't know what you're going to unleash—some portal to hell.” (07:35)

---

4. Captured EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena) Evidence

Segment Begins: 07:43

a. “Get Out” Recording (08:00)

• Captured upstairs, where the building is unfinished.
• Audio features a girl laughing (investigator), with a faint but distinct “get out” layered behind.
• Co-host’s reaction:

  “And that would be it for me.” (08:37)

b. “Why?” Response (09:10)

• Andy sets a recorder on the stairs, announces his intention, and a woman’s voice responds with “Why?”
• Notable for using contemporary language (“recorder”)—which the ghost would presumably not know.
• Team’s reaction:

  “That just gave me goosebumps.” (09:22)

c. “What You Do?” Whisper (09:33)

• A male voice in the background softly says, “What you do?” or possibly “What did you do?”
• Team remarks on the creepy, whispering nature of most EVPs.

  “How come ghosts never yell? They're always whispering.” (09:53) Andy: “Well, we've got a scream once or twice...” (09:55)

d. “So Much of This” (10:54)

• Whispered voice, possibly a woman, saying, “so much of this.”
• Team admits it’s hard to make out but agrees something is clearly on the recording.

e. “I Don’t Know Any...” (11:47)

• Indistinct phrase—possibly “I don't know anyone” or “I don’t know anything.”
• The hosts play it back multiple times, trying to decipher the full phrase.

f. “I Love You” (12:05)

• Final EVP played, featuring a woman’s voice saying, “I love you.”
• Becomes a moment of levity:

  “She's got the hots for you.” (12:16) “Ghost, it’s coming on you. You got the mojo.” (12:17)

---

5. More Unplayed Evidence & History (12:34)

• Andy shares that more evidence, like a child singing and a clear “no” response, was experienced or captured, but the audio wasn’t radio-friendly.

  “We had investigators down at the bottom of the stairs that actually heard a child singing. We caught it on audio, but it just wouldn’t make good for radio.” (12:34)

• The ghost hunter team praises the city's efforts to preserve historic homes and the depth learning the history adds to their investigations.

[Andy (Atlanta Ghost Hunter)]

The Bird show so Carl comes running

[Co-host/Interviewer]

in here when we have the Atlanta Ghost Hunters on. He's like, man, you know what you're doing in there? You sure you want to do this, man?

[Ghost Hunter Team Member]

You want to see something funny? The other when I saw you, the Atlanta Ghost Hunter, when I saw you, it reminded me of when I was in Greenbrier Mall the other day with my Atlanta Ghost Hunter shirt on. All right, I wore it. Normally I wear as a T shirt, you know, but I had a, I took my jacket off, I was going in there for a shirt.

[Co-host/Interviewer]

Was it like just like a black T shirt that just says Atlanta Ghost

[Ghost Hunter Team Member]

Hunters on it right across it, real clear. Atlanta Ghost Hunters is real clear. So I'm thinking to myself, like, man, what am I doing walking into Greenbrier? I know what I'm gonna. I know what I'm gonna get right? And I got it. Soon as I walk into the mall, I'm seeing the stairs. Like, man, what is that? So I go in the Foot Locker. The girl said, do you hunt ghosts? Looking at me crazy, I'm like, man, listen. You wanna catch something funny, go deep into the hood like that. We don't play around with ghosts.

[Andy (Atlanta Ghost Hunter)]

We don't play around.

[Ghost Hunter Team Member]

The guy, this one guy, one guy was freaking out. He's like, dude, you chase ghosts, man. I like, not a buddy of mine chase ghost. But this one girl was the only one who kind of took to it. She had a spirit with her grandfather in her house, and she really took to it. But everybody else, man, they stayed 10ft away from you.

[Co-host/Interviewer]

Couldn't get anybody to help you out.

[Ghost Hunter Team Member]

Now let me get out of here.

[Co-host/Interviewer]

Look, it's not just a black thing. I think with a lot of white people listening, going, I'm the same way. Look, if there's a ghost in my house, I'm moving out, man.

[Andy (Atlanta Ghost Hunter)]

And you know what's so strange is it's mostly men, too. Most men don't want to have anything to do with this. They will deny it. They will just say everything. And there's no such thing. Women are open to this stuff, man. I think it has. Women are in tune with nature. There's something there. Because I would say 95% of the people that ever contact us are women. And guys, I think it's just a control issue. But you do get a lot of attention when you wear the T shirt out. No doubt.

[Co-host/Interviewer]

If you have.

[Andy (Atlanta Ghost Hunter)]

Like, that's a bad thing.

[Co-host/Interviewer]

If you have some freaky things that are going on in your house and you have a hunch that you might have some ghosts or something in there, go onto our website, q100atlanta.com and. And there's a link over there to Atlanta Ghost Hunters. And I just want to reiterate, every time Andy comes on, I always think this is important, that when Andy comes out to your house to look for ghosts, they don't charge you. So there's nothing in this for Andy to pretend that there's such thing as ghosts.

[Ghost Hunter Team Member]

Right?

[Co-host/Interviewer]

There's nothing in it for him. He's not making any money. This is just some weird, quirky, strange habit.

[Ghost Hunter Team Member]

Hobby.

[Co-host/Interviewer]

Yeah, Hobby.

[Andy (Atlanta Ghost Hunter)]

Weird and quirky certainly describes me pretty well, but, yeah, we don't charge anything for it. I've experienced things going over in my life over the past 20 years and I really wanted to find out more about this whole phenomenon that takes place. I just didn't want to do it in my own home. So we go out and we investigate other locations, homes, businesses all over the metro Atlanta area. And when we find stuff, we've got to share it with the public. It's really amazing to know. I know with 100% certainty that whatever this phenomenon is, it's real and they're intelligent and they're responding to us and they really do want to communicate with us. And it's pretty remarkable when you find things like this.

[Co-host/Interviewer]

So the house that you focus on

[Andy (Atlanta Ghost Hunter)]

today is where the city of Morrow is, right in front of South Lake Mall. Anytime you're driving down 75 south, you can see all these old homes that have been brought in. There were homes that were about to be destroyed all over Georgia. And the city of Morrow would go in and buy the house for a dollar. And then they would spend $300,000 to drag these homes in and they completely redid them. From the outside, they look like brand new homes. You would have no idea that these homes were truly turn of the century style homes. Majority of them are pre Civil war and they're open for shops, businesses, restaurants. The main building that we got the majority of the activity in was from a. There's a bakery and an art gallery in this particular place. And it's a mansion. When I say it is a mansion, it is huge. And what's really cool about it is the house is actually this particular house is brought in from Macon and it's called the Napier house. Now there's a real long story that's tied to this. I don't have all time to get into this, but it'll all be on the website. It's tied to actually an Allman Brothers song in memory of Elizabeth Reed. I don't know if you guys have ever heard that song. It's one of their top all time songs. You'll have to go onto the website and read the story, but it's actually tied to Elizabeth Reed and the song that's in this. But the Napier house is where we spent a lot of time, where we got majority of the evidence from. So we'll kind of get right into it. The first one that we got this is always.

[Co-host/Interviewer]

Was there anything specifically like in this house that you know, where people had died before?

[Andy (Atlanta Ghost Hunter)]

We know that a bunch of children have died in this home.

[Co-host/Interviewer]

Okay.

[Andy (Atlanta Ghost Hunter)]

There was Majority of the children just died basically at birth, several days after. But we do know that there was a four year old, his name was Leroy. He passed away in the home. Again, they're all Napiers. Mr. Napier actually helped fund the war down in the Macon side back in the 1860s. He spent $60,000 in artillery to help the Confederate cause. So there's a lot of history tied to this house. Definitely. We didn't necessarily know where people died at though, and what particular rooms.

[Ghost Hunter Team Member]

And it's been moved from its original location.

[Andy (Atlanta Ghost Hunter)]

All of these homes. Exactly.

[Ghost Hunter Team Member]

So it's surprising that the ghost would go with it.

[Andy (Atlanta Ghost Hunter)]

Well, apparently they did. They followed along and in some of the cases they were happy that we were there. In other cases they weren't.

[Co-host/Interviewer]

What were some of the activity that they were having in the house before you guys got off?

[Andy (Atlanta Ghost Hunter)]

Alarm systems been going off at 10:25 every morning they'd go out because it happened so randomly so frequently. They would go out there and actually sit and watch the alarm go off, have a motion sensor go off. And absolutely nobody's in the building that was doing it every day at the same time during Christmas time. Going down the hallway in the bakery side. And it's incredible. Southern pound cakes, if, if you've ever had it, it's amazing. But they've got this hallway going down in the restaurant area. And all their pictures at Christmas time were turned sideways.

[Ghost Hunter Team Member]

Oh, wow.

[Andy (Atlanta Ghost Hunter)]

As they're walking down the hall, they've heard the voices, knocks on the walls. There's plenty of reason for them to think that there's something that's out there. Exactly. And out of all these homes, this one is one of the few that actually already has a restaurant and businesses in them. They're still in the process of building some of these out. So this one people are there every day and they're experiencing these things on a daily basis.

[Co-host/Interviewer]

Andy brought in some of the pound cake from this place. There's no way I'm having him open that box while he' the studio.

[Andy (Atlanta Ghost Hunter)]

It smells so good.

[Co-host/Interviewer]

I don't know what you're going to unleash some portal to hell.

[Ghost Hunter Team Member]

Pandora's box of pound cake.

[Andy (Atlanta Ghost Hunter)]

So let's get into it here. Let's roll guys. This, this is, this is great. Now. Now we actually. This particular first one that we've got was captured in the upstairs of this place. Now the, the upstairs of the. The Napier house is still. Is not, it's not rented out yet, so it's still very unfinished. Got the studs and all that stuff. It's so. It's very, very unfinished upstairs. And we got something we've caught many, many times, and it says, get out. All right, it's in the background. You hear a girl laughing, and that's one of our investigators. And then in the very background, you'll hear, get out. Oh, yeah, it's right there at the very end. And it's as she's laughing, so you can still hear her laugh. And then behind that is when you actually hear the get out.

[Co-host/Interviewer]

Hit that one more time.

[Andy (Atlanta Ghost Hunter)]

So when you're able to go back on the website and. And listen to it over and over again, you'll definitely hear that it's. It's behind her laugh.

[Co-host/Interviewer]

And that would be it for me.

[Andy (Atlanta Ghost Hunter)]

I'd be, okay, cool. Okay, that was. You know, no kid's gonna tell me to get out of a house. So the. The next one. It's so strange because I never, you know, when I'm in on an investigation where they passed away back in the, you know, late 1800s, I don't say recorder. So it's very strange in this clip that I actually say recorder, because somebody in the 1800s, they don't have a clue what a recorder is. I, Norma, go to the red light and speak into it. And we can hear your voice through that. That device. But this time, I was actually setting the recorder on the stairs, and I said, I'm setting the recorder right here. And a woman's voice kicks back and says, why? Now all my investigators know why I'm sitting it down, but. So it's definitely not one of us. All right, I've got the recorder sitting here on the stairs.

[Commercial Announcer]

Oh, dang.

[Ghost Hunter Team Member]

That just gave me goosebumps.

[Co-host/Interviewer]

Let's play that again. You can hear it at the end here.

[Andy (Atlanta Ghost Hunter)]

All right, I've got the recorder sitting here on the stairs. Wow.

[Ghost Hunter Team Member]

That's clear.

[Andy (Atlanta Ghost Hunter)]

Yeah, very, very clear. This next one, I can't recall where we were at this point, where in the building we were, but it was still. Again, this one's in the Navier house. And a man's voice just in the background says what you do.

[Ghost Hunter Team Member]

The whispering thing is freaky.

[Andy (Atlanta Ghost Hunter)]

It is freaky.

[Co-host/Interviewer]

How come ghosts never yell? They're always whispering.

[Andy (Atlanta Ghost Hunter)]

Well, we've got a scream once or twice, you know, and that.

[Ghost Hunter Team Member]

Why the lady was just talking.

[Co-host/Interviewer]

Yeah, just hanging out.

[Ghost Hunter Team Member]

What did you do?

[Andy (Atlanta Ghost Hunter)]

What? It's. It's. It has two syllables there. Yeah, it's. Yeah, it's. What did you do? Somewhere along those lines.

[Ghost Hunter Team Member]

And we always say this, too. But when the Atlanta ghost hunters come on, when Andy comes on, you can hear it better in your car, and we can actually hear it in the studio. Something with the transmission makes it more clear because we'll run this, like, in the foreplay tomorrow before we come on the air. I'll listen to it on the way in. And I hear the ghost voices so much more clearly.

[Andy (Atlanta Ghost Hunter)]

You can hear them a lot better on the website, too. They tend to come across pretty good on the website. But again, for those of you that if it's your first time listening, we don't hear these things at the time. That's why you don't hear us react. We catch these voices on the voice recorders, then we go back and listen to it, and that's when we hear these voices. It takes a lot of time to go back and review all the audio. So you know these things. You just. The reason we have no reaction is because we don't hear them at the time. So the next one. This one is tough to hear exactly what it says. I think it says so much of this, but again, it's another whispering voice in the background. It's not really responding to anything that we're talking about. But it sounds like so much of this. There's something there. I can't necessarily say that it says so much of this, but it sounds like a woman's voice saying so much of this. There's something there.

[Co-host/Interviewer]

Yeah.

[Ghost Hunter Team Member]

Wow.

Amazing.

[Andy (Atlanta Ghost Hunter)]

It's good stuff, all right. Especially in the dark. This next one, again, it's clearly something's being said. I think it says, I don't know any.

[Co-host/Interviewer]

I mean, you can definitely hear something going on there. You know

[Lady Luck]

anyone?

[Andy (Atlanta Ghost Hunter)]

It was questionable if it says anyone or anything. It says, I don't know any something. And that. That. That part I can't make out.

[Co-host/Interviewer]

Here's our last one. This one might freak you out.

[Andy (Atlanta Ghost Hunter)]

All right, so this one, I had to. I had to end it this way because this place is beautiful. And if you guys get a chance, you need to swing down and look at the old town city of Morrow. Simply says, I love you.

[Co-host/Interviewer]

She's got the hots for you.

[Andy (Atlanta Ghost Hunter)]

I know it.

[Co-host/Interviewer]

Ghost, it's coming on you. You got the mojo.

[Will (IQ Bar Founder)]

The woman.

[Andy (Atlanta Ghost Hunter)]

Yeah. The woman.

[Ghost Hunter Team Member]

Yeah.

[Andy (Atlanta Ghost Hunter)]

Definitely says, I love you.

[Ghost Hunter Team Member]

Wow.

[Andy (Atlanta Ghost Hunter)]

And, guys, there's so many more that there's no way we could play all of them. There's no way. I mean, we've caught. In this particular place, we had investigators down at the bottom of the stairs that actually heard a child singing. We caught it on audio, but it just wouldn't make good for radio. You can hear a child singing in the background, but the audio just wasn't good enough to be able to play on the radio that's on there.

[Co-host/Interviewer]

Like the Children of the Corn type thing.

[Commercial Announcer]

Exactly.

[Andy (Atlanta Ghost Hunter)]

Malachi, me and Investigator Charity were upstairs at the top of the stairs. We both clearly heard somebody respond no to us, but we didn't catch it on audio, which is just so weird that you can hear it then. But we didn't catch it on audio.

[Ghost Hunter Team Member]

And one thing about ghost hunts too is I think learning the history of the place as well as doing report. The fact that I had no idea that Mara did that with all these homes I think is so fascinating.
