What’s the experience like?

Ever wondered if those Savannah ghost stories are just old tales or something more? I had that question stuck in my head as we met our guide near Colonial Park Cemetery. The air was sticky, a little sweet with magnolia — and honestly, I kept glancing over my shoulder. Our group was small (just eight of us), which felt right for a night like this. The guide handed me an EMF reader and grinned, “You’ll know if Alice Riley wants to say hi.” I didn’t even know who Alice Riley was yet. That came later, in her square, with the weirdest cold spot brushing my arm.

We wandered past Forsyth Park as dusk settled, Spanish moss hanging low enough to almost brush your face if you weren’t paying attention. Someone’s phone buzzed and everyone jumped — even the guide laughed. At Mercer Williams House Museum, there was this moment where the spirit box crackled out something that sounded like “Tommy.” Maybe it was coincidence. Or maybe not? I still think about that voice sometimes when it’s quiet at home. Our guide told us about Jim Williams and what happened after Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil — she didn’t sugarcoat anything. There’s a heaviness to some stories here; you feel it in your chest.

I tried using the spirit rods at Owens-Thomas House but mostly just poked myself in the leg (they’re trickier than they look). Li from our group asked if spirits get tired of tourists — our guide said some do, but others seem to love the attention. She did a little blessing at the end for everyone’s peace of mind, which felt oddly comforting after all those goosebumps. We finished near Monterey Square under these old oaks that made everything quieter somehow. Not sure if I believe in ghosts now, but Savannah at night definitely gets under your skin.
