History and legend, kept straight
Ghost Tours & Haunted Savannah
Savannah's ghost tours are among the most popular things to do in the city, and they mix real history with folklore.
This page keeps the two separate: what the tours cover, the historic cemeteries and haunted buildings, and the honest note that the legends are stories, not proven fact.
The tours
What a Savannah ghost tour is
A Savannah ghost tour is usually a night walking tour through the Historic District, led by a storyteller who covers the city's history and its folklore: the cemeteries, the old homes, the squares, and the tales that have grown around them. Some tours are family-friendly, and some are adults-only; the operators state which on their booking pages.
The honest note: the ghost stories are legends and folklore, not documented fact. The history is real, and a good tour keeps the two straight. The tours page lists the operators, and the historic Savannah page carries the verified history.

Plan the night
Family-friendly and adults-only
Tour operators clearly mark which tours suit children and which are adults-only, usually by the level of storytelling and the time of night. For families, an early-evening tour or a daytime historic walk is the safer pick; the family page carries the daytime anchors.

The rest of the night
The tour operators live on the tours page, and the evening rooms on the live-music page.
