I suppose your History Prof might have researched this point, but it wouldn't surprize me if it were true. Athens was definitely a stop on the Underground Railroad -- although I don't know of any specific sites.

We won't even get into hauntings since Athens has been mentioned in several books as one of the most haunted sites in the world and has been the topic of several TV shows on the subject. (See other thread on hauntings)
