Savannah Quest Experience: Ghost Hunt

Follow the clues through Savannah's most haunted streets and uncover the spirits that never left.

Savannah ghost hunt takes you on a self-paced puzzle adventure through the historic district, weaving together genuine haunted landmarks, coded clues, and dark local history into a single unforgettable experience. Rated easy in difficulty, it suits curious visitors of all ages who want to explore the city's shadowy past at their own rhythm.

Savannah has long been considered one of the most haunted cities in the United States, its squares and antebellum mansions carrying layers of Civil War grief, yellow fever tragedy, and centuries of restless memory. This quest channels that atmosphere into an interactive journey rather than a passive tour.

Participants solve a sequence of puzzles tied to real landmarks, each challenge unlocking the next stop and a new chapter of the city's darker narrative. The format encourages genuine exploration rather than simply walking past a building.

The route passes nine iconic sites, ending at the Waving Girl Statue along the riverfront, giving participants a natural transition from the haunted interior squares to the open waterfront as the story reaches its conclusion.

Completely flexible pacing — linger at any stop as long as you wish with no scheduled departure times.

Easy difficulty rating makes the experience accessible for families, couples, and solo travelers alike.

Finish at the iconic Waving Girl Statue on the riverfront, completing both the story arc and the city exploration.

2
Mercer Williams House & Madison Square

The quest leads you to the Mercer Williams House, a site made infamous by the book and film "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil," before continuing to Madison Square. Each location carries its own puzzle and narrative thread.

3
Sorrel Weed House & Andrew Low House

Two of Savannah's most celebrated haunted properties form the emotional core of the route. The Sorrel Weed House has been the subject of multiple professional ghost-hunting investigations, while the Andrew Low House carries its own history of tragedy.
