Real History | Real Hauntings

Savannah’s haunted history is rooted in real, tragic events that have left a lasting mark on the city. During the Civil War, Savannah was a strategic location, and the violence and bloodshed from that time still echo through its streets. The city also faced three devastating Yellow Fever epidemics, which claimed thousands of lives, leaving behind spirits that are said to linger in places like Oglethorpe Square. The legacy of slavery, along with devastating fires and natural disasters, adds another layer to Savannah’s eerie atmosphere. These tragic events have created a city where the past is never far away, and spirits are never truly at rest.
