The 5 Most Haunted Places in Georgia

Georgia's moss-draped beauty hides a deeply haunted history, and nowhere more than Savannah — a city built, quite literally, on its dead. Here are five of the most haunted places in Georgia.

1. Bonaventure Cemetery — Savannah

Perhaps the most famous cemetery in the South, Bonaventure is as beautiful as it is haunted. Visitors report hearing the weeping of little Gracie Watson, a six-year-old who died in 1889 and whose lifelike statue still watches over her grave.

2. The Marshall House — Savannah

This historic hotel served as a Civil War hospital, and guests have reported seeing a soldier crying out for his missing limbs, hearing footsteps in empty halls, and glimpsing figures that vanish. It remains one of Savannah's most actively haunted buildings.

3. The Sorrel-Weed House — Savannah

One of the first documented haunted houses in Georgia, the Sorrel-Weed House is tied to tragedy and has been investigated by numerous paranormal teams. Visitors report disembodied voices, cold spots, and shadowy figures.

4. The Pirates' House — Savannah

Once a haunt of real pirates and sailors, this centuries-old building is said to still host the spirits of seamen who were shanghaied through its tunnels. It's one of the most storied — and haunted — spots in the historic district.

5. Savannah's Historic Squares

Much of Savannah's historic district was built over unmarked graves, and its beautiful squares carry a restless energy after dark. The city's haunted bars and cobblestone streets are the perfect place to feel it.
