Duration: 10 mins
3. Moon River Brewing Company
After that is the Moon River Brewing Company, rumored to be one of the most haunted spots in all of Savannah. This was once a hotel deating back to 1821, and like any old hotel it has plenty of history.

4. John P. Rousakis Riverfront Plaza
Your route takes you next along Savannah's beautiful riverfront, lined with shops, restaurants, and plenty of supernatural sightings.

Duration: 5 mins
5. The Shrimp Factory
Continuing along the riverfront, you'll come to the Shrimp Factory, a restauraunt just as famous for its seafood as it is for its ghostly occurrences.

Some attribute the disturbances to the restless spirits of enslaved people who were chained to the walls of the room.
Duration: 10 mins
6. The Hampton Lillibridge House
Then there's the most haunted house in Savannah, the Hampton-Lillibridge House. Built-in 1796 by an architectural firm from Rhode Island, it is a seemingly cursed abode. A sailor is said to have hanged himself here, a worker doing renovations died mysteriously, and many locals simply refuse to go near the place. Is it really cursed? Is it just superstition? No one knows for sure.
Duration: 10 mins
7. The Marshall House, Historic Inns of Savannah
Next along your route is the Marshall House, which became an impromptu Union hospital during the Civil War. The grim work performed during that time lingered long after the war ended.

10. Colonial Park Cemetery
No ghost tour is complete without a stop at a cemetery, so Colonial Park Cemetery is next on the route. Established in 1750 as the final resting place for many of Savannah’s earliest citizens, this cemetery holds about 10,000 bodies. Of those, only around 600 graves are actually marked. That makes for quite a lot of restless spirits!
Duration: 10 mins
11. Mercer Williams House Museum
Then there's the Mercer-Williams House, one of Savannah's more recently haunted properties.
