The Savannah Dark History and Ghost Encounter Walking Tour with Genteel and Bard lasts approximately one hour and fifty minutes. A local professional guide leads the group through Savannah’s historic district at night, using headsets so all participants can hear clearly. The tour is entirely outdoors and covers several squares and landmarks, including Oglethorpe Square, Wright Square, Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace Museum, Chippewa Square, The Old Sorrel-Weed House Museum, Madison Square, and Colonial Park Cemetery. Additional stops include Savannah’s first cemetery, The Marshall House, Foley House Inn, and 12 Oglethorpe Avenue. At each location, the guide shares stories of Savannah’s dark history, such as its first murder, war, folklore, and reported paranormal activity at inns, homes, and cemeteries. The tour focuses on storytelling about the city’s haunted sites and unexplained ghost encounters. Since some places like Colonial Park Cemetery close after dark, the group views all sites from outside. Food, drinks, gratuities, and hotel transfers are not included. The tour operates only in good weather; if canceled due to weather, guests may reschedule or receive a refund.
