Haunted Houses of Savannah

Where Domestic Life Became Eternal Unrest

1733-Present12 min readBy Tim Nealon
Explore Savannah's most haunted private homes, where centuries of family tragedies and dark secrets manifest as powerful paranormal activity.

Where Families Never Leave

Savannah's haunted houses stand as elegant tombstones to the families who loved them too much to leave, even in death. These aren't just buildings with ghost stories - they're homes where generations of joy, sorrow, love, and tragedy have crystallized into persistent paranormal phenomena that defy explanation. Built over Native American settlements, colonial burial grounds, and Civil War battlefields, these houses accumulate spirits like they accumulate dust. Each family that lived and died within their walls added another layer to the haunting, creating multi-generational ghost stories where great-grandparents, parents, and children all manifest together in eternal family gatherings. What makes Savannah's haunted houses unique is their refusal to let go of their domestic nature. These spirits don't just haunt - they continue living. They set tables for dinners that never end, rock babies who never grow up, and tend gardens that bloom with phantom flowers.
