Note: This 8+ mile-long tour covers the essentials of Savannah in 2-3 hours.
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: Reynolds Square, 32 Abercorn St, Savannah, GA 31401, USA
Next up is the site of the Pulaski Hotel, once the go-to spot for lavish Savannah parties. The hotel was torn down in 1957 to make way for more modern buildings, but people say some guests never left... Keep your eyes and ears open for signs of little Gracie, who still lingers here to this day.
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: Moon River Brewing Company, 21 W Bay St, Savannah, GA 31401, USA
After that is the Moon River Brewing Company, rumored to be one of the most haunted spots in all of Savannah. This was once a hotel deating back to 1821, and like any old hotel it has plenty of history. As the site of a shocking murder, there's a good reason this building has attracted countless ghost hunters over the years, including a Travel Channel TV crew.
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: John P. Rousakis Riverfront Plaza, John P. Rousakis Riverfront Plaza, Savannah, GA 31401, USA
Your route takes you next along Savannah's beautiful riverfront, lined with shops, restaurants, and plenty of supernatural sightings.

One shop has even reported a regular spectral guest who trips their alarm but never shows up on camera!
Duration: 5 minutes
Stop At: The Shrimp Factory, 313 E River St, Savannah, GA 31401, USA
Continuing along the riverfront, you'll come to the Shrimp Factory, a restauraunt just as famous for its seafood as it is for its ghostly occurrences.

Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: The Hampton Lillibridge House, 507 E Saint Julian Street, Savannah, GA 31401, USA
Then there's the most haunted house in Savannah, the Hampton-Lillibridge House. Built-in 1796 by an architectural firm from Rhode Island, it is a seemingly cursed abode.

No one knows for sure.
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: The Marshall House, Historic Inns of Savannah, 123 E Broughton St, Savannah, GA 31401, USA
Next along your route is the Marshall House, which became an impromptu Union hospital during the Civil War. The grim work performed during that time lingered long after the war ended.

Visitors have long reported all manner of unexplained happenings, including seeing wounded Civil War soldiers walking the halls.
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: Chippewa Square, Savannah, GA 31401, USA
Continuing along your route, you'll reach Wright Square. This pleasant public square hides a dark past. It is here where some convicts were hanged to death, including a pair of young lovers accused of killing their abusive master. Some say their spirits still wander the square to this day.
Duration: 5 minutes
Stop At: Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace, 10 E Oglethorpe Ave, Savannah, GA 31401, USA

Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: Colonial Park Cemetery, 200 Abercorn St, Savannah, GA 31401, USA
No ghost tour is complete without a stop at a cemetery, so Colonial Park Cemetery is next on the route. Established in 1750 as the final resting place for many of Savannah’s earliest citizens, this cemetery holds about 10,000 bodies. Of those, only around 600 graves are actually marked. That makes for quite a lot of restless spirits!
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: Mercer-Williams House Museum, 429 Bull St, Savannah, GA 31401, USA
Then there's the Mercer-Williams House, one of Savannah's more recently haunted properties. In 1981, this was the site of a shocking murder which was made famous by the novel Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.
