Program details

An evening excursion through the darker side of America's most haunted city! A memorable experience aboard the Trolley of the Doomed, as your gravedigger guide shares tales of murder and mayhem, ghosts, ghouls and other mysterious happenings and phenomena. This journey will take you around Savannah’s historic district, focusing on some of this atmospheric city’s most haunted sites, eerie legends and frightening residents.



Your Ghost Hosts will entertain you with their expert storytelling and knowledge of all things shadowy and sinister. We'll travel past ancient cemeteries, (those still standing and those that have fallen victim to the passage of time and progress), antebellum mansions, and overgrown squares rank with gnarled oaks dripping with Spanish moss. Drive by the sites of bloody battlegrounds where you may hear echoes of battles and the spirits that remain.



Then if you dare we'll step into two of Savannah's most haunted sites. First we'll stop at the Gribble House, the scene of a triple murder in 1909 that the Savannah Morning News described as “the most diabolical crime ever committed in Savannah.” Then the next stop will be Perkin’s and Sons Ship Chandlery, located on River Street, said to be the paranormal epicentre of America’s Most Haunted City. You'll follow your guide into this crumbling building and at once be bombarded by a paranormal presence as you learn of this family's sinister past.



This evening tour takes approximately 1h15m and involves some walking. Remember to bring warm clothes as the evenings can be chilly.
