My favorite place on earth! And we try to get down there 3 or 4 times a year. You can physically and emotionally feel the aura Savannah gives off. Literally the past just surrounds you and it’s not a scary feeling at all…I feel like I’ve come back to my home and it’s comforting❤
Savannah is a place where the veil is very thin. The Pirates House is much worse than you told. There was a tunnel under the place where the street children were trafficked into horrible lives on ships and elsewhere. Rev. George Whitefield talked Ben Franklin out of a new orphanage in Philadelphia and got the funds for Bethesda Orphanage 12 miles safely out of town here. The children often black or Irish were being stolen all the time and Whitefield had no illusions what was happening to them...he had a working poor background in England. The tunnel is haunted so obviously that nobody mentions it much...I've been there and the "vibes" are terrifying. The Sorrel house had an owner who threw huge parties till all hours and made his slaves dress up in hot wool uniforms and hats. They spent the nights walking the roof and often fainted from the heat, fell off, and died on the sidewalk. He must have been rich as Gates to throw his 'property' away like that. Horrible human. The Bonaventure cemetery doesn't seem haunted to me. When my husband died in 2021 my children couldn't make up their mind about his ashes, so my grandson and I listened to my favorite Johnny mercer song, " P.S. I Love You" and put a pimento jar of his ashes in the bush behind Johnny. He played those songs many times in the Orchestra here. Since the children decided to put his ashes a long way off I'm glad to have those nearby. "Dear I thought I'd drop a line...the weather's cool, the folks are fine..."
Yes the veil is Savannah is paper thin and sometimes completely transparent ! I loved her with my whole soul but outsiders , big money and Hollywood have changed her ! And no spirt no matter how insistent have seemed to have gotten those vultures to leave !
I stayed at the Hamilton Turner Inn in what was then the Blue Room. All night we could hear people playing pool above us - it was frightening. This was in 2003. When we went down for breakfast the next morning we were telling them about the experience and they told us there used to be a billiard room on the top floor. This stuff is real.
We love Savannah. My wife and I have stayed at the Kehoe house twice and the East Bay Inn. The dining room in the Kehoe house was the viewing room when the house was a funeral home. Great city to visit.
Visit Sav very often I’ve been to all of these locations and you just feel the sorrow that was left in the city. So many tragic stories and deaths. Definitely heavy on the heart but so beautiful to look at.
We go to Savannah once a year, 2024, we stayed at the 1790. Above and beyond customer service with everyone we encountered. We had dinner there as well, excellent food, above what was expected. Love this place.
I babysat from 1978 to 1981 for an affluent family who owned the Hampton-Lillibridge House. I was married, in my early 20s, not a teeny- bopper. The evil spirits there are rampant. I was scared nearly to death every time I babysat there, with spine-chilling paranormal occurrences going on.
I was born in Savannah in 1952. My grandmother managed an apartment house on East Bay Street diagonal to the Desota Hotel. It has been since torn down but our dog was always growling when we stayed there.
I grew up in Savannah and most of my family on my mother’s side is buried at Bonaventure. It’s a beautiful city. Don’t be afraid to visit. I never experienced anything paranormal however visiting some of the landmarks will give that hee b gee b feeling.
You should research the Hampton-Lillibridge house. Workmen tried to renovate it, but experienced physical attacks and refused to return. Many things happened there. It was written up in the local paper at the time.

Hey man I'm a savannah local, and we learned in school the Gracey didn't die of pneumonia.... unfortunately she was killed during cross fire during the Civil way... the story is so sad cuz she didn't die instantly, she unfortunately crawled into a crawl space of a nearby house and passed while she was hiding, some believe that was where she was going in the first place to hide but was unfortunately hit by a stray bullet before she got their.😢 next time tour in savannah please leave her a.vintage style toy.... last time I went to see her I left her a sliding whistle.
Also if you go in the basement of moon river you can see where they used to chaìn up the lion when the circus came into town, you can see where he rubbed the bottom of the post he was chained too from Pacing back and forth
I have lived here in Savannah my whole life, and I have seen and heard things that aren't there in my house on burnside island. The disembodied moaning of a woman in obvious pain is what scared me the most!! And the kitchen chairs being drug across the floor was a doozy!! This is my family home, so it was hard to just pick up n leave, so we just dealt with the haunting. 😮😮
Went to Savannah on my honeymoon 40 years ago. Went to the Pirates House(food is amazing btw) and a plate flung itself off an empty table that no one was near and shattered on the floor in a million pieces 4 feet from where I was sitting! It hit with such force it sounded like a bomb! We try and visit 3 or 4 times a year and it never gets old 🩵🩵
There is another “Gracie” statue that looks very similar in the forest hills cemetery in Boston from around the same time period. It is underneath a dome of glass. Google image it. It’s interest!
I loved Savannah when I lived there ! With a passion I felt this was thee city where I belonged ! Yes , there is an active spirit life there ! But maybe not a terrifying why but more of “ I know you are here with me why and why don’t we just live and let live “ so we do ! I was never frightened there by the spirits of the departed but more of the distasteful and aggressive living elements that hade been allowed to move into your Savannah over the last handful of years ! Hollywood and outside big money have made her into something ( as a historian ) I find truly scary ! I left there rather recently because I saw her becoming what such an elegant , compelling and charming city should never be , a set design and tourist trap and cash cow for people with no respect or reverence for her truly remarkable history and its spirits !
I lived in Savannah for 4 yrs and my sister was born there. My brother died in the Savannah River in a boating accident. He was only 6. I love Savannah and know most of the history and lore.
I lived in Savannah in 1965. I'd rented a bedroom in a house 2-doors from the Pirate's House. The gentleman who died in my bed still occupied the house. Jimmy Williams had moved a 3-story townhouse to a new site, placed on a new basement foundation, before he bought the Mercer Mansion, and the original 3-stories also had a resident who could be quite violent. One afternoon, with a house full of workmen, one of the workers was thrown from the kitchen into the fireplace in the Living Room. Jimmy's pipe organ, featured in the movie, "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil", was on the 3-rd floor of the townhouse and one afternoon Jimmy went to pick up a 'visitor' at the bus station and I was enjoying myself playing the organ. Jimmy called out when they entered the house and I came down to the first floor. The visitor asked me 'where is your friend?'. 'I was alone' I replied and the visitor said, 'I saw someone in the window'. The window was mebbe 2' behind the organ's bench.
The majority of places around Savannah have remains under them. What used to be considered out of town, is now covered by homes, gas stations, malls, etc.
We stayed at the Marshall House some 15 years ago. I awoke in the middle of the night with my arm being "held" up as though my pulse was being taken by a nurse. I jumped out of bed and didn't even try to go back asleep. Won't stay there again! Lol
Our daughter rented rooms in 2 different old mansions just off downtown. She was so disappointed that she never had a paranormal experience. I will say that I was extremely uncomfortable & couldn't wait to get out of the basement level of the first house. I'm not afraid of basements but I didn't like that one. It was a fabulous house though.
(22:54) much more likely to get stuck up than haunted... Be careful. Savannah looks nice and historic but 1-2 blocks over might be a block that you are not allowed on unless you live on it.
I’ve lived here my whole life and have never experienced that. At least not Downtown. That’s more likely to happen on the Southside or in Midtown than Downtown.
I have a picture of a group of us having dinner at Moon River and there is an unexplained shadow in the pic. Looks like a person with a handkerchief on their head. The last time we stayed at the River Street Inn, the hotel desk called our room at 3 am and asked me what was wrong. I was sound asleep and had no idea what she was talking about. She told me that several other rooms had called reporting a woman screaming like she was being murdered. I kept telling her it wasn't me and she kept saying "You can tell me". She made me so angry, I finally hung up on her. I honestly feel something weird was going on there, LOL.

We live just North, outside of Beaufort & Bluffton…
This entire Coast is haunted…
Bonaventure is extremely haunted. It’s just not always active.

St Augustine in Fl is amazing for haunting!

I love this video of Savannah 😍 one of my favorite places to visit
Cool! I live on Hilton Head and Savannah is next door. This gives me some exploration ideas when I go over there
Cool video. Savannah is beautiful.

That’s my favorite hotel, too. And the food is so great!
We stayed at the Westin across the river. One of our favorite vacations. Our son saw dolphins playing for the first time 😍

I live in Savannah and I love my city ❤
I’ve been to Savannah and New Orleans and those towns have the same vibe.
good video

Love my city, as far as hauntings its nothing the blood of Jesus can't take care of.
Amen to that! My thoughts exactly.
Good job.

I stayed at the Hamilton Turner my dog didn't like it.
Not New Orleans as most haunted?
I have a seperate haunted new orleans video, I think it's a close second
@@buildthedream77 Thanks for responding back. I will check it out
New Orleans is the MOST haunted city in America
Savannah is Number 1, Period.
@user-ih6xt8mw7b you crazy 😂😂😂 No! New Orleans is and always been the MOST haunted city in the USA
@@lsubandtrumpet2014 I made videos on both. I think New Orleans is a close second, but still very interesting when we were there!
Na. Savannah is older. This city is old old. So much crazy shit that's happened throughout history here.
