Haunted History - Savannah

Behind the stately fagade of this southern jewel are many compelling accounts of unquiet spirits.

Each year, seven million tourists descend on Savannah, drawn by its stately antebellum mansions and serene parks. But, according to many, unquiet spirits lurk behind the bucolic fagade of this beautiful southern city.

HAUNTED SAVANNAH tours a side of the town that few visitors are even aware of. Well explore the places where the past makes itself felt in unusual ways, and hear from those who claim to have seen the evidence of Savannahs vanished residents. Employees of one of the citys oldest restaurants have encountered the frightening specter of an 18th century pirate. Visitors to Bonaventure cemetery report hearing the sounds of ghostly revelers who feasted there 200 years ago. The sound of clanking chains still reverberates along the riverfront, where slaves where once kept in the most appalling conditions. And well chronicle the ghost story at the heart of the bestselling book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.

In a city where history is the main attraction, we expose a darker side of the past.
