Step into a Victorian winter’s tale where the magic of Christmas mingles with the macabre on our Ghosts of Christmas Past Walking Tour in Helen, Georgia! Long before Santa and sugarplums, Christmas was a season for gathering by the fire and sharing ghost stories—a tradition Charles Dickens immortalized in A Christmas Carol. This year, we’re bringing that eerie holiday custom back to life with a lantern-lit journey through Helen’s most haunting corners.
Bring along some hot cocoa and let the eerie enchantment of the season wrap around you. Expect goosebumps, gasps, and a little old-world magic—just as Dickens intended.

**Unicoi Hill Park – Helen’s Hidden Haunt** Tucked just off Main Street in the heart of Alpine Helen, **Unicoi Hill Park** is a pocket of eerie enchantment where whispers drift through the trees and shadows play tricks on the unwary. By day, it’s a charming greenspace with picnic spots and a bubbling creek, but as dusk falls, the air grows thick with mystery. Legends say the ghost of a long-lost gold prospector still wanders the hillside, his phantom pickaxe echoing against the stones. The rustling leaves seem to murmur secrets, and some swear they’ve seen flickering lantern lights.
