“Savannah looks charming in the daylight.
At night, it remembers everything.”
Beneath the moss drenched oaks and postcard perfect squares, Savannah carries centuries of stories that refuse to stay quiet. This is a city shaped by colonial ambition, war, fire, epidemics, and heartbreak, and those echoes linger in its homes, hotels, cemeteries, and cobblestone streets. No wonder Savannah is often called America’s most haunted city. Every corner feels like it is balancing beauty and something just out of view.
What makes Savannah unforgettable is how history and hauntings overlap so naturally. Candlelit mansions whisper old scandals. Riverfront warehouses hide tragedies beneath polished brick. Hotels creak with footsteps from a time no one alive remembers. And along the squares, ghostly folklore blends with documented events that are far stranger than fiction.
This self guided Savannah ghost tour turns the city into a storyteller. As you walk, narrator Mark Nesbitt introduces the legends, eyewitness sightings, and historical truths behind Savannah’s most famous hauntings. It feels less like a tour and more like following a trail of shadows through the city.
You will meet the restless presence at the Olde Pink House, the lingering spirit of a child near the former Pulaski Hotel, and the City Hotel where paranormal investigators captured unexplained activity. By the river, tales rise from old warehouses and restaurants like the Shrimp Factory, where staff still report strange sounds after closing time. Beautiful homes hold darker secrets, including the Hampton Lillibridge House with its long list of accidents and the Marshall House where Civil War remains resurfaced during renovations. Colonial Park Cemetery hides thousands of unmarked graves beneath its peaceful paths. Wright Square keeps memories of executions and loss. And the Mercer Williams House adds its own blend of true crime and lingering mystery.
The walk ends near the Roundhouse Railroad Museum where visitors have seen shadowy figures move along the tracks long after the last train has passed.
Savannah by daylight is lovely. Savannah by night is unforgettable.
Possible Side Effects: May trigger sudden fascination with cemeteries, habitually checking photos for orbs, and an urgent need to keep a night light on even in a very nice hotel.
