Overview

Dead of Night is Ghost City Tours’ darker Savannah experience, created for guests ages 16 and older who want to explore the city’s more disturbing history after dark.

Walk through Savannah’s Historic District as your Ghost City Tours Ambassador uncovers stories of murder, betrayal, tragedy, historic burial grounds, and the reported hauntings tied to the people and places behind them. The later hour and mature subject matter allow this tour to go beyond the stories told on our family-friendly experiences and explore a side of Savannah that is more complicated, unsettling, and rarely discussed in daylight.

This is an outdoor evening walking and storytelling experience focused on Savannah’s history, legends, and reported paranormal activity.

What to expect

  1. Johnson Square
    15m
    By day, Johnson Square radiates elegance—but by night, its polished surface hides a much darker past. Beneath your feet lie the unmarked graves of Savannah’s earliest dead, buried in haste, lost to time, and some say, not entirely at rest. Surrounded by monuments to power and prestige, this square has seen duels, mysterious deaths, and whispered conspiracies. On this adults-only tour, we peel back the genteel façade to reveal the uneasy spirits and secrets still lurking in the shadows of Savannah’s oldest square.
  2. Colonial Park Cemetery
    15m · Admission ticket not included
    Walk alongside Savannah’s oldest intact municipal cemetery, established in 1750 and home to generations of the city’s early residents. Hear darker stories connected to the cemetery and the reported paranormal activity surrounding one of Savannah’s most historic burial grounds.
  3. 15m · Admission ticket not included
    Elegant by day, The Marshall House hides a sinister past soaked in blood and sorrow. Once a Civil War hospital, its halls echoed with the screams and the groans of the dying. Even viewing from the outside looking in, you may feel the eerie sensation of not being alone. On this adults-only tour, we’ll reveal the chilling tales buried behind its refined façade—where the spirits of the war still roam the halls, and some say... never left their beds.
  4. 15m
    432 Abercorn Street is one of Savannah’s most whispered-about haunts. Locals cross the street rather than pass too close, and for good reason—its dark windows seem to watch, and its past refuses to stay buried. Delve into the unsettling legends that make 432 Abercorn the stuff of nightmares. Some say the house is cursed... others say it’s still very much alive.
  5. The Old Sorrel-Weed House Museum & Tours
    15m · Admission ticket not included
    Regal on the outside, the Sorrell-Weed House is one of Savannah’s darkest legends within. Plagued by stories of tragic deaths, violent hauntings, and sinister secrets, this grand mansion is said to be a hotspot of intense paranormal activity. Whispers of murder, madness, and forbidden affairs cling to its halls, and some report cold touches in the dark. We will pull back the veil to explore what truly happened behind closed doors—and why the spirits here refuse to stay silent.
  6. Wright Square
    15m
    Explore one of Savannah’s original squares and the burial place of Yamacraw leader Tomochichi, whose relationship with James Oglethorpe helped shape the city’s earliest years. The square later became associated with public executions and some of Savannah’s most enduring ghost stories.
