Savannah’s Haunted Reputation
Let’s start with: why is Savannah, Georgia haunted? A city with this much history is bound to have some dark corners.
Savannah – founded in 1733, has seen its fair share of tragedy. It’s a place where the ghosts of the past seem to linger, waiting for the right moment to make their presence known. The city was not only involved in the Revolutionary and Civil Wars but also suffered devastating yellow fever outbreaks. It has witnessed countless deaths that have, no doubt, contributed to its haunting reputation.
But it’s not just the history that gives Savannah its spooky vibe, it’s the stories. Savannah is a city built on ghost stories. People come from all over to experience its haunted history, whether it’s on a tour or just by walking down its dimly lit streets. And those who dare to venture here often leave with more questions than answers. Let me take you through a few of the places that have earned Savannah its spooky title.
Notable Haunted Locations in Savannah
Savannah’s haunted side can be experienced at these spots. They have earned the city its spooky reputation through its horrid history.
Mercer-Williams House
The Mercer-Williams House has a dark history that will send shivers down your spine. This is the famous house that was featured in the book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.
The reason behind the eerie energy of this house is a brutal shooting that occurred in 1981. That tragic event has earned it a spooky house. Many visitors and staff have reported ghost sightings, strange noises, and an undeniable sense of being watched. It’s a must-see. And you’ll feel the energy shift, that’s for sure.
Sorrel-Weed House
One of Savannah’s most famous haunted spots, the Sorrel-Weed House has a history that reads like a Gothic novel. From tragic deaths to restless spirits, this house is filled with unsettling energy. People say the ghosts of former residents still wander its halls, and it’s not hard to see why. It’s a hauntingly beautiful home, but the stories that come with it are anything but beautiful.
Sorrel-Weed House is so haunted that it’s been featured on several major TV programs including Travel Channel’s Expedition X.
Bonaventure Cemetery
Bonaventure is a serene, beautiful place, with a haunting history. The cemetery is graced by the statue of Gracie Watkins, a little girl who died in the early 20th century. It’s a focal point for ghost hunters and visitors alike. People say that Gracie’s spirit still roams the cemetery, and if you’ve ever visited, you’ll know that the place holds a certain eerie stillness.
