Walking Ghost Tour invites visitors away from River Street’s riverfront bustle into the dim, historic heart of Savannah — meeting at 22 Bull St, Savannah, GA 31401, USA — for a compact, 90-minute exploration of the city’s darker chapters. A professional storyteller leads small groups through gas-lit squares and cobbled lanes, recounting verified local history alongside the folklore that fuels Savannah’s reputation as one of America’s most haunted cities. You’ll hear about the 1820 yellow fever outbreak, the 1779 Siege of Savannah, Civil War tragedies and the persistence of Root Magic (Voodoo); guides also note the literal fact that much of the city was built upon older burial grounds, a detail that keeps the stories visceral. The route emphasizes the layered urban landscape: salt‑stained brick rowhouses, wrought‑iron balconies, the looming silhouette of the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, and quiet public squares where live oaks drip Spanish moss in the coastal plain air. Key stops often include shady squares and Colonial Park Cemetery, where headstones create a stage for stories about medicine, fires, and past residents whose names remain in the records. The contrast between ornate architecture and low-lying marshland geology helps explain why Savannah’s streets can feel out of time. This experience stands out because it pairs meticulous local research with theatrical delivery; it’s not a gimmick tour but a walking history that treats paranormal tales as a doorway into real events and social history. For travelers, the tour is an efficient way to read Savannah’s centuries-old urban fabric on foot while learning how epidemics, war and cultural practices shaped neighborhoods visitors still walk through today. Practical notes: wear closed shoes and bring a charged phone; most of the route is flat but cobbles and uneven sidewalks demand attention. Tours operate after dusk often, offering better atmosphere and softer light for photography, but predictable weather in summer means warm nights and occasional storms. With a 30-person cap, the tour retains an intimate feel; it’s ideal for first-time visitors wanting context and color beyond guidebook bullet points. Whether you’re chasing ghosts, studying urban history, or simply seeking a memorable night walk, Walking Ghost Tour delivers a tightly paced, research-driven introduction to Savannah’s haunted reputation and the real stories that made it. Bookings cap groups at 30 people and the tour has a minimum age of 21, keeping the evenings focused and manageable. What’s included is a guided walk by a professional storyteller, true ghost stories and documented historical accounts, and visits to multiple haunted locations across the historic district. This combination of scholarship and performance makes the Walking Ghost Tour a practical, memorable way to understand why Savannah’s past still shapes its nights and neighborhoods.
