Savannah Ghost Tours
Savannah's Ghosts & Gravestones
Your voyage will take you throughout Savannah’s historic
district, focusing on some of Savannah’s most haunted sites,
eerie legends and frightening residents. Your Ghost Host will
entertain you with their expert storytelling and knowledge of
all things “shadowy and sinister.” One never knows what one
might encounter when you “cross-over” aboard Ghosts &
Gravestones.
Then climb aboard the Trolley of the Doomed and travel past
ancient cemeteries, (those still standing and those that have
fallen victim to the passage of time and progress), antebellum
mansions, and lush squares ripe with live oaks dripping with
Spanish moss. Drive by the sites of some of the bloodiest
battlegrounds in history, where you may hear echoes of battles
and the spirits that remain.
Sixth Sense Savannah
In 2002, smashing all of the barriers, the Sixth Sense Savannah
tour became the first tour to go well beyond the usual touring
areas and subject matter, starting in a neighborhood, where
locals, family, friends, chose to share their personal ghost
stories, exclusively with the company founder. Covering topics
of poltergeist, hag, exorcism, missing cemeteries, disembodied
spirit forms, and many others, this pioneering tour is arguably
our customer's favorite and best known walking ghost tour in the
city. If you're just looking to whet your appetite with all of
this, or want to dive full on in, the Sixth Sense Savannah tour
has got you covered and will astonish, start to finish! Voted
one of TripAdvisor.com's Top Activities in Savannah!
Ghosts of Savannah Walking Tour
Ghosts of Savannah Walking Tour was created by local legend,
Savannah historian, and paranormal researcher, R. Chase Anderson
over three decades of personal encounters and vast historical,
and paranormal research. Walk moss-shrouded Victorian side
streets, lanes, and out of the way places with veteran
Ghost-Guide historians, Mr. Chase and J.P. McDonald. Explore
Civil War and Revolutionary War hauntings, African Hoodoo,
Irish, and Native American beliefs and practices. Reach deeper
into America's most haunted city on a path that leads to a
deeper and broader experience of what and who Ghosts are.
Savannah's Historical Buildings
Many of Savannah’s old buildings have survived and been restored
including the Pirates’ House (1754), an old seaman’s inn
mentioned in Stevenson’s Treasure Island; the Herb House (1734),
the oldest existing building in Georgia, and the Pink House
(1789), site of Georgia’s first bank. The mansion birthplace of
Juliette Gordon Low, (built 1819-21) is owned and operated by
the Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. as a memorial to their founder.
The Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences opened in Savannah as
one of the South’s first public museums. The many restored
churches include the Lutheran Church of Ascension (dating from
1741); the Independent Presbyterian Church (1890) and the
Cathedral of St. John the Baptist (1876), one of the largest
Roman Catholic churches in the South, the First African Baptist
Church whose congregation dates back the 1788 and Temple Mickeve
Israel, the third oldest Synagogue in America.
As the Millennium turned, Savannah experienced resurgence in
tourism. The 1990′s saw more than 50 million people visit our
fair city. Visitors revel in our elegant architecture, ornate
ironworks, fountains and lush green squares. Savannah’s natural
beauty is rivaled only by the city’s hospitable reputation,
creating one of the country’s most popular vacation spots.
Guests who come to our city are truly captivated by our city’s
charm, the richness of our heritage and all the activities the
city offers every day of the year.
