Paranormal Investigations at Sorrel Weed House, Savannah | Events | Attraction

The Sorrel Weed House in Savannah, Georgia, offers an intense and hands-on paranormal investigation experience inside one of the South’s most haunted mansions. Known for its historic value and spectral reputation, this 1818 Federal-style home stands on Madison Square, a place thick with stories of restless spirits and unexplained phenomena. Guests step beyond a conventional tour here, diving into a two-hour after-hours investigation led by a seasoned paranormal expert, using professional ghost-hunting tools to interact with the unseen. Unlike typical guided tours, the event requires participants to take the lead in teams, armed with Spirit Boxes, Mel Meters, Pendulums, and Dowsing Rods, learning how to use these devices to detect paranormal activity. Split across the grand mansion and its adjacent Carriage House, the investigation balances history, mystery, and hands-on adventure in equal measure. The dimly lit rooms and antique furnishings add to the charged atmosphere, all while respecting the home's fragile historical integrity. The Sorrel Weed House is exceptional within Georgia’s outdoor adventure offerings because it merges immersive cultural history with an active paranormal investigation. It’s a rare doorway into supernatural exploration set in an urban historic environment, standing apart from traditional hiking, climbing, or wilderness expeditions typically linked to outdoor recreation. For thrill-seekers and history buffs alike, this experience provides an unusual way to engage with Savannah’s heritage — capturing ghostly phenomena and sharing findings with fellow investigators. With limited spots and a strict reservation policy, this investigation not only supports preservation efforts but also assures a focused, intimate encounter with the paranormal side of this Southern landmark.
