Savannah: Haunted Pub Walking Tour & Ghost Stories Night

Summary

Haunted bars, pirate stories and late-night laughs in Savannah

You’ll wander Savannah’s historic River Street with a costumed guide, stopping at haunted pubs for drinks and eerie tales. Expect laughter between shivers as locals share real ghost stories and legends. With time to relax over cocktails and swap stories with fellow travelers, you’ll leave with memories that stick around long after the tour ends.

What’s the experience like?

“Don’t worry, the ghosts here are friendly,” our guide grinned, adjusting his pirate hat as we squeezed into the first bar on River Street. The place smelled like old wood and something sweet — maybe bourbon? I kept glancing at the shadows in the corners while he spun out a story about a woman who never left this place (even after she died). I sipped my drink slower than usual. Everyone in our group leaned in, half-laughing, half-checking over their shoulders. It’s weird how you start to believe just a little.

We wandered from one haunted pub to another, cobblestones underfoot and that sticky Savannah air clinging to everything. At one stop, an older bartender told us about bottles flying off shelves late at night — she shrugged like it was just Tuesday. I tried to pronounce the name of some local cocktail and pretty much failed; Li from our group laughed so hard she almost spilled hers. Our guide (I think his name was Sam?) kept pointing out little details I’d have missed: carvings on doors, a cold spot near an old staircase. The main keyword for this night really was “haunted pub tour Savannah,” but honestly it felt more like hanging out with new friends who all secretly hoped for a ghost sighting.

I didn’t expect to feel spooked after two drinks, but when we paused outside an alley where someone swore they’d seen something move — well, let’s just say I stuck close to the group. There’s this odd comfort in listening to ghost stories together, especially when you’re all strangers at first. By the end of the 2.5-hour walk, my feet were tired and my voice hoarse from laughing too much (and maybe nervously talking too much). Still thinking about that last story by the river — something about lost sailors and unfinished business — it kind of lingered with me even after we said goodbye.
