Savannah: Ghost Tour with Kilted Guide & Haunted Bar Stops

Summary

Night walks with Savannah’s kilted ghost guide, haunted stories and bar laughs

You’ll follow Savannah’s kilted ghost guide through shadowy squares and hidden corners as he shares personal haunted tales—not just old legends. Expect bar stops for drinks and laughs along the way, plus time to ask your own questions or share your stories too. You’ll leave wondering if you believe—or at least remembering how it felt to walk those streets at night.

What’s the experience like?

First thing Patrick did was grin at my shoes and say, “Hope you’re ready to walk through some ghosts tonight.” He’s the Guy in the Kilt—yes, he really wears one—and somehow that made it feel less like a performance, more like we were tagging along with a friend who just happens to know every haunted corner of Savannah. The group was small enough that when he asked if anyone believed in ghosts, I actually answered. (I don’t, or didn’t? Hard to say now.)

We started near Hull Street—there’s this concrete bench where everyone gathers, and honestly I almost missed it because I was distracted by the Spanish moss overhead. Patrick doesn’t do scripts; he just tells stories from his own years poking around Savannah’s haunted Historic District. At one stop, he pointed to a window and told us about a night he heard laughter echoing out when no one was inside. He let us ask anything—someone wanted to know if ghosts get bored. Patrick said, “Maybe they just like company,” which made us all laugh for some reason.

The air felt thick and warm even after dark, and every so often you’d catch the smell of gardenias or something else sweet drifting past. We paused at two bars along the way; I tried a local beer (don’t remember the name but it tasted kind of herbal) and someone in our group tried to toast in Gaelic—Patrick nearly spit out his drink laughing. There were moments I caught myself listening for footsteps behind us, which is silly but also not. The stories felt different because they were his own—no recycled legends or touristy nonsense.

I still think about that last stop—a quiet square where Patrick just let us stand there for a minute without talking. It wasn’t spooky exactly, more like… respectful? Maybe that’s what stuck with me most: this wasn’t about jump scares or cheap thrills. Just real people, real places, and maybe something else hanging around after dark in Savannah. Or maybe not—I’m still not sure.
