This is a scary place in and of itself - old Thomaston/Dundee/Springs Mill in Griffin, GA. I took this shot immediately upon entering the basement. A second photo, taken only a few seconds later, shows nothing. See next picture.
A little history. In 1899 Thomaston Mills was organized by a group of men whose vision was to build a major cotton mill. In Griffin, 29 miles to the north, the Company acquired and rebuilt another mill for the production of combed yarns and broadcloths and other combed yarn woven fabrics in 1929. The Griffin plant closed in 1998.
I know many people that worked at the Mill back in the day. They all tell me they thought the place was haunted. There is one documented case of a worker, Joseph Albert Castleberry, that had an accident at that very Mill leading to his death in 1931.
Its pure speculation that of the thousands of workers, some decided to remain or go back. The place is cold and there is a heaviness of dread when I entered. A new business took over and it has been reported that the security cameras mess up for no reason, and the alarms go off in the middle of the night, though the building remains locked and secured.
Do not use without consent.
