Savannah Ghost Tour

I recently went on vacation to Savannah, Georgia. I’ve been there a bunch of times, but never at night, since I always return to the tourist hell known as Hilton Head. I think Savannah is wonderfully freaky and creepy during the day, so I took advantage of the graveyards, haunted stories and moss hanging from the OLD live oaks and went on a late night ghost tour. Savannah’s a very Southern gothic town with a ton of history including murder, piracy, ghosts, hauntings and voodoo. If I could figure out how to make a living there, I’d fit right in with all the resident weirdos.

Big thumbs up on the ghost tour. It was actually recommended to me by Bob Hunnicutt who is the Director of The Georgia Ghost Society (and a friend of socreepy). The tour we took was this one. I especially enjoyed the stories about all the citizens of Savannah that died, and kinda died, of yellow fever. Apparently there were at least thirty cases of people being buried alive. Apparently, we were standing right over them as she told the story. Apparently, I pissed my pants (just kidding).

If you ever make it to that part of the country, check out the old civil war cemetaries and be sure to take an after-dark ghost tour. My friend was sure she was poked by a ghost. Hey, at least someone was getting some action.
