About this experience

When the sun sets on Savannah’s historic district, the veil thins—and “Dead of Night” begins.

This is no lighthearted ghost walk. This is a descent into the dark soul of the city, where moss-draped oaks whisper secrets, and moonlit cobblestones echo with the footsteps of those long buried. Pass by cursed mansions, forgotten burial grounds, and sinister alleys where crimes, curses, and restless spirits still linger.

This adults-only experience dares to reveal the side of Savannah that’s too chilling for daylight: murder, madness, betrayal, and the specters they left behind. Every shadow hides a story—and some say, something watching.

Enter if you dare… but beware the silence. It’s never empty in the Dead of Night.

If you have 10 or more guests in one group, please get in touch with the private & group sales coordinator with Ghost City Tours for additional availability.

Detailed itinerary

1

By day, Johnson Square radiates elegance—but by night, its polished surface hides a much darker past. Beneath your feet lie the unmarked graves of Savannah’s earliest dead, buried in haste, lost to time, and some say, not entirely at rest. Surrounded by monuments to power and prestige, this square has seen duels, mysterious deaths, and whispered conspiracies. On this adults-only tour, we peel back the genteel façade to reveal the uneasy spirits and secrets still lurking in the shadows of Savannah’s oldest square.

2
Stop 2

Step into the decaying heart of Savannah’s haunted history at Colonial Park Cemetery—a place where the dead were buried... and some were never left alone. Desecrated during the Civil War, riddled with lost graves, yellow fever victims, and stories of body snatchers, this cemetery is more than a final resting place—it’s a hotbed of unsettled spirits and twisted tales. We will explore the darker truths behind the headstones, where ghosts linger, shadows watch, and silence is anything but peaceful.

3

Elegant by day, The Marshall House hides a sinister past soaked in blood and sorrow. Once a Civil War hospital, its halls echoed with the screams and the groans of the dying. Even viewing from the outside looking in, you may feel the eerie sensation of not being alone. On this adults-only tour, we’ll reveal the chilling tales buried behind its refined façade—where the spirits of the war still roam the halls, and some say... never left their beds.

4

432 Abercorn Street is one of Savannah’s most whispered-about haunts. Locals cross the street rather than pass too close, and for good reason—its dark windows seem to watch, and its past refuses to stay buried. Delve into the unsettling legends that make 432 Abercorn the stuff of nightmares. Some say the house is cursed... others say it’s still very much alive.

5
Stop 5

Regal on the outside, the Sorrell-Weed House is one of Savannah’s darkest legends within. Plagued by stories of tragic deaths, violent hauntings, and sinister secrets, this grand mansion is said to be a hotspot of intense paranormal activity. Whispers of murder, madness, and forbidden affairs cling to its halls, and some report cold touches in the dark. We will pull back the veil to explore what truly happened behind closed doors—and why the spirits here refuse to stay silent.

6

Beneath the beauty of Wright Square lies a past soaked in blood and betrayal. Once the site of public hangings, this was where justice—and vengeance—was carried out before jeering crowds. Most infamous is the restless spirit of the first woman executed in Georgia, whose ghost is said to roam the square, searching for her lost child and justice she never received. Hear the true, grim tales of Savannah’s gallows ground—where the dead don’t rest, and the living don’t linger after dark.
