Today I will tell you about the city of Savannah, a beautiful, wonderful, and fantastically picturesque city in the south of the United States, which is located in the state of Georgia.
I must say that I will remember the day spent in Savannah for a long time.
I have not received so many impressions at once, but I really liked the city.
And it is a pity that, as part of our trip from Miami to New York, we allocated only one day to get to know the city of Savannah.
But as they say, but there is a reason to return!
But today I am covering Savannah’s dark side.
It is believed that Savannah was built on American-Indian burials, so the whole history of the city is closely connected with the legends of ghosts.
Savannah was the center of battles during the revolution and civil war and lost a large number of its population during the yellow fever.
The popular novel “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil” gave Savannah even more of a mystical spirit.
The fame of this place has spread all over the world, making Bonaventure Cemetery and the Mercer Williams House Museum popular among tourists.
The entire city of Savannah is pretty much one giant ghost story, also thanks to the mysterious tunnels that run under the city’s streets.
Underground structures play an important role in many of Savannah’s most visited locations, including Forsyth Park, a green space with fountains.
This list contains the creepiest and most unique places in Savannah.
The next time you’re looking for thrills in these places, stop by one of these haunted houses, which are open all year round.
The best time to go to any of these famous haunted houses is, of course, Halloween.
The Most Haunted Places in Savannah, Georgia
1.Francis Sorrel House
This house is considered one of the most “ghostly” places in Savannah.
Francis Sorrel married early, to the daughter of very wealthy parents, Lucinda Moxley;
unfortunately, she died early, and Francis decided not to look for a wife somewhere on the side but to marry his wife’s sister, Matilda.
Francis was not very faithful and got himself a mistress—a slave named Molly.
Matilda caught him with her, and she could not stand such humiliation and threw herself off the balcony.
A few days later, Molly was tortured by remorse, and she hanged herself.
Only Francis lived happily ever after (probably).
People claim that they are the ghosts of Matilda and Molly that live here.
2.17 Hundred 90 Inn
If you’re brave enough, you can stay overnight in room 204, which is haunted by the ghost of Ann’s girl.
Her voice, according to the guests, can be heard after sunset.
Anna was the bride of an arranged marriage who fell in love with a sailor in the early 1800s.
She threw herself from a third-floor window onto the brick courtyard below, just as the sails of his ship left her sight and headed down the Savannah River to the sea.
Some suggest that she was pushed from the window by her angry fan.
3. The Marshall House
But the largest concentration of ghosts awaits you at the Marshall House.
Locals claim that the house is full of ghost soldiers.
The fact is that during the Civil War, the hotel building was a hospital.
In 1864–1865, wounded soldiers were treated here.
For decades, people have reported seeing or hearing ghosts in hotel corridors, hearing doorknobs clanging, faucets turning on by themselves, and much more related to paranormal activity.
Visit this former hospital if you want to hear disembodied voices or feel the chilling touch of a former Union soldier.
4. Moon River Brewing Company
Even more impressive will be a visit to the Moon River Brewing Company, the very first brewery in the city.
The building was built in 1821 and is famous for being featured in the famous American supernatural TV series Ghost Adventures.
Nowadays, customers are reporting that a lady in white can be seen on the stairs, but if you stay away, it should be fine.
A Savannah Haunting Movie
When you’re about to watch a horror movie, you internally prepare yourself for what’s going to be scary.
But if you know that there is a true story behind the staged shot, it becomes even scarier.
And more interesting!
Savannah Haunting is based on a true story about what happened in Savannah!
A happy family moves into a new home and encounters eerie ghosts… How many hundreds (if not thousands) of times have we seen such a plot?
However, the mystical thriller” A Savannah Haunting “still has a couple of intriguing details.
First, they show a phantom that haunts a boy who recently lost his twin sister.
Secondly, the teaser trailer is adorned with the inscription “based on true events”—and the creators claim that the tape was filmed in a real haunted house.
James Wan himself would envy such a location!
Moreover, in pursuit of the full-length film, the creators released a short documentary about the terrible events that took place in this mansion.
The plot was invented by Mark McCullough (who also acted as director).
A family struggling with the loss of their youngest daughter, who drowned, moves to Savannah, Georgia.
In a new place, the mother of the family feels that she is haunted by the spirit of a dead girl.
Mysteries about Savannah’s brutal history of slavery and the voodoo cult are soon unraveled, and the solution threatens the lives of every member of the family.
