New Book Uncovers Roswell's Haunted History

Local Roswell ghost tour guide and author Dianna Avena will be at the Roswell Visitors Center on Saturday to discuss her book Roswell: History, Haunts and Legends.

From the banks of the Chattahoochee River to the streets of Roswell’s historic district, chilling specters remind us of this charming Southern town’s shocking past, the Roswell Visitors Center said in a press release.

Avena blends Roswell’s history with tales of the city’s most famous haunts — from the slave quarters of Bulloch Hall to the cracked graves in Founder’s Cemetery — to send chills down the spines of locals and visitors alike.

In addition to her conducting tours and her literary pursuits, she founded Roswell Georgia Paranormal Investigations. Avena has been a frequent guest on radio programs and conducts public speaking engagements. She and her husband, Joe, have also appeared on an episode of SyFy’s “Ghost Hunters.”

Dianna will be at the visitors center from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Sept. 27 to also discuss the upcoming Roswell Ghost Tour schedule and pose for photos with guests. She will also have copies of her book for sale.

The Roswell Visitors Center is located at 617 Atlanta Street.
