Night settles over the squares of Savannah like a slow tide; gas lamps pick out the edges of cobblestone and Spanish moss drips from live oaks as a guide gathers the group at Tomochichi’s Rock in Wright Square. On the Savannah Hauntings Tour, the city’s history moves from textbook into the realm of eyewitness accounts—footsteps and voices described by residents, reports cited from Margaret DeBolt’s and Robert Edgerly’s collections, and references to Drums and Shadows from the 1930s WPA Writer’s Project.
