(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Oglethorpe Square
Oglethorpe Square, nestled in the heart of Savannah, Georgia, is steeped in history and haunted lore. Here, in the shadow of ancient oaks, many claim to witness the restless spirits of Yellow Fever victims, forever trapped in their fevered delirium, wandering the square in a tragic, eternal loop.
Built in 1819 by the talented architect William Jay, the Owens-Thomas House exemplifies English Regency style with its elegant design and historical charm. Yet, beneath its sophisticated facade, this mansion harbors unsettling tales of hauntings, with ghostly figures and unexplained noises reported by those who dare to explore its shadowy corners, believed to be echoes of the house's troubled past.
The Lindsey & Morgan Company Building in Savannah, Georgia, was constructed atop old burial grounds, adding a layer of eerie history to its storied past. Former tenants have frequently reported unsettling occurrences, such as furniture mysteriously shifting on its own and other ghostly disturbances that hint at the restless spirits beneath.
