Did you know that Savannah, Georgia, is one of the most haunted cities in the United States? Savannah is filled with ghost stories — originating from the Civil War, two yellow fever epidemics, and multiple murders throughout this haunted city. The best way to become acquainted with these haunted tales and spooky stories is on a ghost tour through Savannah's Historic District!
There are dozens of ghost tours in Savannah to choose from, but the following tours provide a good range of variety — from trolley tours and walking tours to pub crawls and adults-only tours — as well as fabulous tour guides to explain the city's haunted history.
Savannah Ghost Walker Tour & Ghost Hunt by Savannah Ghost Walker is one of the most unique ghost tours in Savannah. On this paranormal investigation, you'll be able to use electromagnetic field meters to go "ghost hunting" and detect paranormal activity as you walk past haunted locations in Savannah, including Colonial Park Cemetery, the "Hanging Tree," and haunted squares, houses, and businesses.
The Savannah Pub Crawl by Ghost City Tours offers a fun spin on a classic ghost tour. Instead of visiting haunted houses, cemeteries, and squares on this walking tour — you'll be visiting iconic historic and haunted pubs and bars throughout Savannah. You must be 21+ to join this tour, but you are permitted to carry drinks between bars since Savannah's Historic District has no open container laws.
Ghost City Tours also offers other tours in Savannah, like the Grave Tales Tour, Beyond Good and Evil Tour, and Dead of Night Tour.
On the Ghosts & Gravestone Trolley Tour by Ghosts & Gravestones of Savannah, you'll hop on board a "Trolley of the Doomed" to take a ride through the most haunted cemeteries, antebellum mansions, bloody battlegrounds, and lush squares in Savannah's Historic District.
During the tour, you'll be able to visit two of Savannah's haunted locations — the Andrew Low House and Perkins & Sons Ship Chandlery, where you'll hear creepy tales from your tour guide.
On the Hearse Ghost Tour by Hearse Ghost Tours,, you can board a converted open-air hearse, once used by funeral homes, on a ride with seven other passengers. You can book an entire hearse for a private tour, so this option is ideal if you want to experience the most haunted city in the United States with your private group — though these hearse tours generally aren't as scary as the walking tours.
The Bonaventure Cemetery After Hours Tour, led by Shannon Scott, is arguably the scariest ghost tour in Savannah. After all, what could be more horrifying than being locked behind the gates of Bonaventure Cemetery at night?
This is the only after-hours cemetery tour in Savannah, so if you'd like to learn about the murderers, bootleggers, gangsters, and other "dearly departed" buried here — this is the perfect tour for you. You'll also learn about Savannah's role in the DaVinci Code, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, and Harry Potter.
The Savannah Shadows Tour by Blue Orb Tours is one of the best ghost tours in Savannah, GA, for families because children and adults of all ages are welcome. This tour stops at Hanging Square (formerly known as Wright Square), Chippewa Square, and other popular locations. This tour offers a great blend of history, storytelling, and local lore.
However, for a spookier option focusing on the "voodoo" concept of the walking undead, consider booking The Zombie Tour (for adults only).
If you're looking for a unique and informative ghost tour in Savannah, look no further than The Witching Hour Ghost Tour by The Witching Hour Savannah— led by paranormal tour guides. During this two-hour walking tour, your tour guide will use dowsing rods, a spirit box, and EMF detectors to search for ghosts and spirits.
Though the Historic Savannah Ghost Tour is the most popular, this company also offers ghost tours on Tybee Island, a haunted pub crawl, and an exclusive tour with a parapsychologist. And if you book as a guest with South Key Management, you’ll receive a special discount!
For a look into Savannah's spirits — of both the ghostly and alcoholic variety — consider joining the Boos & Brews Ghost Tour by Tara Haunted Tours. On this pub crawl, you'll be able to visit many of Savannah's most haunted pubs, bars, and local establishments, like Moon River Brewing Company and McDonough's Pub, with a drink in hand. All participants of this haunted pub crawl must be at least 21.
The Spooky Savannah Haunted Pub Crawl by Spooky Savannah Ghost Tours is one of Savannah's most popular haunted pub crawls. Guests meet their guide (either Raven or Spooky Steve) at Moon River Brewing Company — arguably the most haunted building in Savannah — where they can grab a drink before heading on the tour. You will see four haunted pubs on the tour and other haunted locations in Savannah, but you must be at least 21 years old to join the tour.
From one haunted location to another haunted house, these memorable ghost tours will take you past some of the most haunted locations in Savannah, either while walking, bar hopping, or riding in style on a "Trolley of the Doomed" or an open-air hearse.
If you're planning a trip to Savannah soon, we encourage you to book one of the ghost tours listed above well in advance (especially if you're traveling in October) since ghost tours book out far in advance, especially during the spooky season! We also would love to host you in a Savannah vacation rental in the heart of the Historic District!
