Savannah, Georgia, is often called the most haunted city in America, and for good reason. As a local guide who has walked these cobblestone streets for years, I’ve seen skeptics turn into believers and heard stories that would make your skin crawl. If you’re looking for the real “spirits” of the Hostess City, here is my definitive ranking of the most haunted places in Savannah.
1. The Sorrel-Weed House
Located at 6 W Harris Street, the Sorrel-Weed House is a masterpiece of Greek Revival architecture with a dark side. It’s widely considered the most haunted house in the city. Visitors often report seeing figures in the mirrors and feeling a heavy, draining energy in the basement. Whether it’s the tragic history of the Sorrel family or the spirits that linger in the carriage house, this is a must-visit for any paranormal enthusiast.
2. 17Hundred90 Inn & Restaurant
This is one of the few places where I’m almost certain I’ve captured a spirit on camera. The 17Hundred90 Inn is famous for the ghost of Anna, a heartbroken woman who reportedly jumped from a third-story window. But she’s not alone—the kitchen is said to be haunted by a much grumpier spirit who enjoys throwing pots and pans at the staff.
3. The Marshall House
Opened in 1851, The Marshall House has served as a hospital during yellow fever epidemics and the Civil War. Guests today report hearing the sound of children running down the halls and seeing apparitions of soldiers in the corridors. It’s a beautiful hotel, but you might want to keep the lights on.
4. The Pirates’ House
Built in 1753, this is one of the oldest buildings in Georgia. It was once a tavern for sailors and pirates, and legend has it that men were often “shanghaied” through underground tunnels. Today, staff and guests report seeing shadowy figures and hearing phantom footsteps echoing through the dining rooms.
5. Moon River Brewing Company
If you’ve watched any ghost hunting shows, you’ve likely seen Moon River. This former hotel and warehouse is notorious for its aggressive spirits. From the “Lady in White” on the upper floors to objects moving on their own, it’s a location that even seasoned investigators approach with caution.
6. The Kehoe House
Now a luxury bed and breakfast, the Kehoe House was once a funeral home. It’s rumored to be haunted by the spirits of two twin boys who tragically died in the house. Guests often report hearing the sounds of children playing when no children are staying at the inn.
7. Colonial Park Cemetery
You can’t talk about haunted Savannah without mentioning Colonial Park. With over 10,000 bodies buried in a relatively small area—many in unmarked mass graves from yellow fever outbreaks—the energy here is palpable. While you can’t go inside at night, the perimeter is a hotspot for paranormal activity, with many reporting strange lights and shadowy figures among the ancient tombstones.
