Savannah is one of the most haunted cities in America. This audio tour shows off creepy secrets of its architecturally spectacular ominous locations! At first, you'll see the site of the Gribble House and one of the most violent murders in Savannah's history. Crossing the lovely Madison Square, be thrilled with the story of soldiers buried there after the 1779 Siege of Savannah, both dead and alive. At the noble Andrew Low House nearby, once frequented by the swell society and Robert E. Lee, meet some Low family members who turned otherworldly. Few steps away from there, you will spot the posh Hamilton-Turner Inn that inspired exterior of the famous Haunted Mansion at Disneyland. After that, visit the alluring historic Colonial Park Cemetery to look into the headstones altered by the Union army in 1864 and beware of the ghostly dwellers, if you dare. The tour will also take you through Old Savannah's restaurants with a spooky background. Once you learn how the Moon River Brewery and the yellow fever epidemic are interlinked, you will feel macabre. At the very end, sneak into the Pirates' House, where the fabled Captain Flint's ghost roams, for a drink with Savannah pirates who never returned from a sail and learn how come. On your way there, you will pass the evocative Hampton Lillibridge House rumored to be the site of exorcism in 1963. Set off to explore Savannah with its stunning period architecture and urban legends that will give you the chills!
