You’ll walk Savannah’s shadowy streets after dark with a local guide who shares real ghost stories and actual paranormal evidence. Expect laughter, uneasy glances, and maybe even goosebumps as you explore haunted mansions and hidden corners on this adults only tour. It’s part history lesson, part dare — and you might leave believing just a little bit more than you did before.
“You’re not gonna believe this one,” our guide grinned as we circled the fountain downtown — honestly, I’d already jumped at a shadow or two. The air had that sticky Savannah heaviness, and you could hear laughter echoing off the old brick. We weren’t even five minutes in before someone in our group started nervously glancing over their shoulder. I guess that’s what happens when you sign up for an adults only ghost tour in Savannah at 10pm. There was something about walking those streets at night that made every window look like it was watching us.
I liked how our guide — Marcus, big voice, local for years — didn’t rush the stories. He’d stop by these old mansions (one of them had a porch light flickering like it was on cue), and just let the silence hang for a second before launching into tales about voodoo or murder or whatever else Savannah’s managed to keep under wraps. Sometimes he’d show us photos his team caught — weird lights or shapes in windows — and I’m not saying I believe in ghosts but… well, there were goosebumps. At one point he handed around a little gadget that supposedly picks up “energy.” Mine beeped once and I about dropped it.
The best part? People actually talked to each other. Some woman from Atlanta kept trying to guess which house was “the haunted one” (she was wrong every time). A couple behind us argued quietly about whether ghosts would care if you believed in them. It felt less like a scripted tour and more like being let in on some local mischief — plus a few drinks beforehand probably helped everyone loosen up. The last stop was this house with warped shutters and a weird smell of gardenias mixed with rain — I still think about that moment when Marcus just went quiet and let us stand there, listening for… something.
