Tips for Enjoying Haunted Attractions in Savannah

• Book in Advance

Popular tours and experiences fill up quickly, especially during Halloween season. Reserve your spot early to avoid disappointment.

• Dress for the Weather/Stay Hydrated

Savannah can be humid and warm, even at night. Wear comfortable shoes and bring a light jacket for cooler evenings. Humidity means water will need to be consumed. Savannah is known as southern charm and is a welcoming location accustomed to out-of-town guests.

• Respect the Locations

Many haunted sites are private properties or active cemeteries. Follow all rules and guidelines provided by tour operators to preserve these historic places.

• Bring a Camera and Helpful Items

You never know when you might capture something unusual. Some visitors report strange orbs or shadows in their photos. A good pair of walking shoes, comfortable clothing appropriate for a cool night or hot afternoon. Sunglasses and a way to secure your valuable belongings.

• Stay Open-Minded

Paranormal experiences can be unpredictable. As a ghost tour guide, my heart drops when my guests say they are here for me to show them a ghost. I pack a full tour full of information. My hope is that my guests experience something strange and unusual -other than myself- but my spirits are not on my payroll. Ghosts choose when and how they will appear. So, whether you believe in ghosts or not, enjoy the stories and atmosphere for a memorable adventure.
