Although Halloween is far away, there’s still one U.S. city where you’re guaranteed a good scare if you’re looking for one. Savannah, Georgia, is often called America’s most haunted city, and for good reason. Here are some of the spookiest attractions in town.
Hearse Ghost Tours
What could raise the hairs on your back faster than the thought of a tour of Savannah’s scariest sites inside a funeral hearse? This famous ghost tour is one of the best rated in the country and shows great attention to detail. Even the hearses are real, all of them being used by actual funeral parlors for at least 15 years before them becoming tour attractions. As you make your way through the city’s historic districts you will be startled by strange lights and sounds, as the restless spirits of those long gone will be watching your every move.
Aside from it being an unforgettable experience, it’s also very convenient for tourists. You will be picked up in a hearse right outside your hotel and greeted by a funny and knowledgeable guide who will be telling you jokes and scary stories throughout your trip. Those who want to go the extra mile can contact Hearse Ghost Tours and get married in an actual hearse or play Escape Savannah, the scariest escape room around.
Ghost City’s Dead of Night Tour
Everything is scarier in the dark of night and this tour manages to capture that. Having started in 2012, Ghost City has constantly grown in popularity ever since, and for good reason. Every good scary story has an element of truth to it and this spooky ghost tour takes full advantage of that by making the most from true local stories abut war, diseases, natural disasters, and more. Also, although their tours will play with your emotions, their customer service will certainly not, with dedicated professionals always ready to assist you.
Genteel & Bard’s Savannah Dark History and Ghost Encounter Tour
Looking at spooky buildings and listening to scary stories from the comfort of a vehicle can be exciting, but for a truly frightening experience, Savannah must be discovered on foot. This mystical tour will take you to the city’s old areas and help you discover interesting and spooky parts of its history. The tours only take place in the evening, enhancing the whole experience. All their guides have many years of storytelling experience and excellent knowledge of local stories and events, so you’re guaranteed to be drawn in to the local atmosphere.
Although the tour lasts about two hours, you will only cover less than a mile in total distance, so you won’t get tired from all the walking and you’ll have the chance to fully experience every attraction on the way. Guests also receive complimentary earbuds and a wireless receiver, so if you want to separate from the group in true horror movie style, you can do so for up to 100 feet.
People’s fascination with being scared is as strange as it is interesting. However, since many of us obviously enjoy it, there’s no reason not to spook ourselves with the help of some amazing tours.
