Walking into Savannah’s historic buildings, cemeteries or even the cobblestone streets themselves, it’s easy to see the ghosts of the past and imagine and tales that rise from its foundations. You don’t just have to imagine it, though. If you’re into “frightseeing” during your Savannah stay, supernatural tours are profuse in this Gothic enclave.
5 Savannah Ghost Tours
Savannah History and Haunts Candlelit Ghost Tour
The Savannah History and Haunts Candlelit Ghost Tour, for example, doesn’t believe a guide needs to embellish the city’s ghost tales. After all, it’s been witness to war, executions, disease, hurricanes, murders and mystery. This 90-minute outdoor historical ghost walking tour leads participants by lantern light through the colonial city’s moss-draped oaks and historic squares. Hear ghost stories, legends, superstitions and history that runs deep and will make your blood run cold.

Brave the shadows among tales of suicide at the Sorrel-Weed House; bloody war on Madison Square; the death and plague that filled Colonial Park Cemetery; the ghosts that haunt 12 Oglethorpe Ave., and more. No worries though, they’ll tell you where to buy sage and holy water.
