Athens Ghost Hunt: The Morton Theatre received a 2015 national Savvy Award from the City-County Communications & Marketing Association (3CMA) in the Most Innovative category for populations of 0-120,000. The category covers all forms of media, not just videos.
On October 11-12, 2014 the Public Information Office and the Morton Theatre staff brought in a team from Ghosts of Georgia Paranormal Investigations to investigate strange occurrences that have been reported by numerous people throughout the building's history.
The Public Information Office and a videographer documented the overnight investigation. The resulting program, Athens Ghost Hunt: The Morton Theatre, runs approximately 29 minutes and features a brief history of the Morton Theatre, individuals recounting unexplained occurrences and ghost stories from the building, and the process and results of the ghost hunt.
