In April my mom and I took a trip to Savannah, Georgia, which is also known as one of the most haunted cities in the country. I didn't know this when I was booking our trip! After a few days of checking out the city we couldn't help but notice the amount of ghost tours that took place every night! Well, if you know my mom, you know she is obsessed with shows having to do with hunting ghosts. So of course, I asked my mom if she wanted to go on a tour, and her immediate response was.....NO! I my opinion she watches to many of those shows, and thinks a spirit will attach to her. But, whatever the case, she didn't want to go! I knew that deep down, there was a small part of her that was curious! As the week progressed we talked with some friends who had gone on them, and they highly recommended going! So that was it, I was making the reservation, we were going!
It was our last night in Savannah, so it was a now or never type of thing. I made the reservation and paid so that there was no backing out! I'm not gonna lie, I was scared! I thought we would ride around the city and hear scary stories for an hour or two and then go home! Well, I was in for a surprise, upon arriving to our trolley, I quickly learn that we are going to get off at two different stops and look for spirits.....yes that's right....WE HAD TO GET OFF! So I was ready to shit a brick, no lie!
So we board the trolley, and some young girl, probably just trying to make some extra cash, begins telling us scary stories about the city. We drive around and look at some houses where some crazy things happened. The one house they showed us was
The Sorrel-Weed House. The story behind this house is the wife found her husband cheating on her with a slave and in return the wife committed suicide. The first stopped we made was
at the site of the Gribble House, the scene of a triple murder in 1909. We get off and are escorted in to a warehouse. The murder scene is laid out and the lights are turned off. We are told the story of the triple murder and then had our choice of a device where you can hear ghosts, (EVPs) talking or a temperate gauge. I thought go big or go home! I choose the voice one! I was scared to death, but quickly became fascinated by everything. I was so into it, I was shocked. We did see orbs, if you believe that sort of thing. Many people said it looks like reflections, however the room was black. So take it for what it is....
Just as I was getting super into it, it was time to leave and move on to our next stop! The next stop was Perkins and Sons Ship Chandlery. Inside was filled with things found in ship wrecks. As we were standing there my mom got the strangest look on her face. She said she could feel something on the back of her neck. We were taken into another room and told to sit. As this point I was feeling very nervous because it wasn't like the first place. Someone jumps out and scares you. I was scared and not fond of it. I was fascinated by hunting for them, and I am not a fan of the "haunted house" type stuff.
Overall the tour was really cool and I would love to try another one! What was even more cool was that when we got back from our trip the places we stopped on our tour were featured on one of my mom's favorite ghost hunting shows! I was so glad I talked her into going! It is definitely something we would so again! We went on the
Ghosts and Gravestones tour, but there are many others! One you even drive around in a hearse. If we make it back to Savannah, I would really like to try that one! I think it adds a little something to the experience!
Hope you get a chance to try one!
XOXO
