The Top 7 Most Haunted Places in Savannah You Can Actually Visit

Savannah is often celebrated as one of America’s most haunted cities, as many of you know. With its deep-rooted history and atmospheric streets, nearly every corner of the city seems to carry an eerie tale. Whether you’re a seasoned ghost hunter or simply curious, here are some of Savannah’s most notoriously haunted locations that invite visitors to experience the paranormal up close.

7. Bonaventure Cemetery

Bonaventure Cemetery is an iconic and deeply atmospheric haunt worth mentioning. This cemetery is home to legends and tales of ghostly apparitions that date back centuries. The haunting beauty of Bonaventure makes it a popular stop on ghost tours and a must-visit for anyone interested in Savannah’s spookier side.

6. Kehoe House

The Kehoe House has a warm, beautiful exterior, but don’t let that fool you—rumor has it that this former funeral home is haunted by the spirits of two children. While the story remains unproven, guests frequently report seeing ghostly children in the halls and feeling inexplicable cold drafts. This stately mansion turned bed and breakfast may look inviting, but it offers more than just a charming stay.

5. The Pirate’s House

Founded in 1753, The Pirate’s House is steeped in maritime history and has long been a hub for ghost stories. Tales of seafarers being “shanghaied” (forcibly taken aboard ships) in the basement have fueled its haunted reputation.
