What to expect

  1. Oglethorpe Square
    6m
    Oglethorpe Square, nestled in the heart of Savannah, Georgia, is steeped in history and haunted lore. Here, in the shadow of ancient oaks, many claim to witness the restless spirits of Yellow Fever victims, forever trapped in their fevered delirium, wandering the square in a tragic, eternal loop.
  2. 7m
    Built in 1819 by the talented architect William Jay, the Owens-Thomas House exemplifies English Regency style with its elegant design and historical charm. Yet, beneath its sophisticated facade, this mansion harbors unsettling tales of hauntings, with ghostly figures and unexplained noises reported by those who dare to explore its shadowy corners, believed to be echoes of the house's troubled past.
  3. 6m
    The Lindsey & Morgan Company Building in Savannah, Georgia, was constructed atop old burial grounds, adding a layer of eerie history to its storied past. Former tenants have frequently reported unsettling occurrences, such as furniture mysteriously shifting on its own and other ghostly disturbances that hint at the restless spirits beneath.
  4. Wright Square
    7m
    Wright Square, a historic gem of Savannah, is famously haunted by the restless spirit of Tomochichi, the revered Native American leader whose grave lies beneath the square. Visitors often report eerie sightings and a sense of being watched, as if the ghost of Tomochichi lingers, guarding his final resting place with a spectral presence.
  5. 6m
    The Juliette Gordon Low House, home to the founder of the Girl Scouts, is also a site of spectral intrigue. Here, the ghostly figures of William and Eleanor Gordon, the founder’s parents, are said to roam the halls, their spirits lingering in a place that once held their presence and profound influence.
  6. 7m
    Chippewa Square, famously known for its iconic Forrest Gump bench scene, is not just a picturesque spot but also a place with darker undertones. Across the way at the Foley House, guests have reported sinister activities and ghostly disturbances, adding a chilling contrast to the square’s cinematic fame.
  7. 6m
    The Savannah Theatre, one of the oldest theaters in the country, has long been a stage for more than just performances. Among its storied history and grand architecture, the mischievous ghost of a young boy named Ben is known to make his presence felt, delighting in playful pranks that leave both staff and visitors with eerie, yet intriguing, tales to tell.
  8. Colonial Park Cemetery
    7m
    Colonial Park Cemetery, one of Savannah's oldest and most enduring burial grounds, holds the remains of a diverse array of figures, from Revolutionary War soldiers to victims of the Yellow Fever epidemic. Amid its historic graves and weathered tombstones, visitors often encounter eerie phenomena, as the spirits of those who once rested here seem to linger, their stories whispering through the cemetery’s shadowed paths.
  9. 6m
    Captain Henry Dickerson's Home #1 and #2, once owned by the enigmatic captain, harbors a chilling tale of its own. Following his death in 1922, tenants discovered a small wooden box of personal effects in the attic's fourth floor, an unsettling find that seemed to awaken a series of paranormal disturbances, filling the house with restless and mysterious energies.
