Savannah

There’s no way around it – a saunter through the Southern city of Savannah is just plain spooky. Forget sightseeing: With dozens of tour groups dedicated to showcasing haunted Savannah, you’d best be prepared for some fright-seeing instead! Try strolling the cobblestone streets of Georgia’s oldest city on the nighttime Ghosts of Savannah (www.theghostsofsavannah.com) walking tour, rolling around town with a narrated guide on Carriage Tours of Savannah (www.savannahcarriage.com), or opt for a Creepy Pub Crawl (www.savannahtours.com), if you wish to sample some spirits while you look for them. So just what is it about this deceptively pretty city that makes it so ghoulishly grim? Believers cite a long history of violence and bloodshed dating back to the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, not to mention widespread diseases and fires here. As if that weren't sufficient, many parts of Savannah's historic section were built over old cemeteries, to boot. You can literally eat and sleep with ghosts here - grab a bite to eat at the Pirate House (www.thepirateshouse.com), a popular centuries-old local restaurant with a ghostly clientele, then rest up (if you can!) at any number of haunted bed and breakfasts; a particularly creepy choice is the 1851 Marshall House (www.marshallhouse.com) that once served as a hospital for many Civil War soldiers and yellow-fever victims.
