What you'll see and do
Johnson Square
By day, Johnson Square radiates elegance—but by night, its polished surface hides a much darker past. Beneath your feet lie the unmarked graves of Savannah’s earliest dead, buried in haste, lost to time, and some say, not entirely at rest. Surrounded by monuments to power and prestige, this square has seen duels, mysterious deaths, and whispered conspiracies. On this adults-only tour, we peel back the genteel façade to reveal the uneasy spirits and secrets still lurking in the shadows of Savannah’s oldest square.

Colonial Park Cemetery
Walk alongside Savannah’s oldest intact municipal cemetery, established in 1750 and home to generations of the city’s early residents. Hear darker stories connected to the cemetery and the reported paranormal activity surrounding one of Savannah’s most historic burial grounds.
15 minutes here · Admission not included
Elegant by day, The Marshall House hides a sinister past soaked in blood and sorrow. Once a Civil War hospital, its halls echoed with the screams and the groans of the dying. Even viewing from the outside looking in, you may feel the eerie sensation of not being alone. On this adults-only tour, we’ll reveal the chilling tales buried behind its refined façade—where the spirits of the war still roam the halls, and some say... never left their beds.
15 minutes here · Admission not included
432 Abercorn Street is one of Savannah’s most whispered-about haunts. Locals cross the street rather than pass too close, and for good reason—its dark windows seem to watch, and its past refuses to stay buried. Delve into the unsettling legends that make 432 Abercorn the stuff of nightmares. Some say the house is cursed... others say it’s still very much alive.
15 minutes here
The Old Sorrel-Weed House Museum & Tours
Regal on the outside, the Sorrell-Weed House is one of Savannah’s darkest legends within. Plagued by stories of tragic deaths, violent hauntings, and sinister secrets, this grand mansion is said to be a hotspot of intense paranormal activity. Whispers of murder, madness, and forbidden affairs cling to its halls, and some report cold touches in the dark. We will pull back the veil to explore what truly happened behind closed doors—and why the spirits here refuse to stay silent.
15 minutes here · Admission not included
Wright Square
Explore one of Savannah’s original squares and the burial place of Yamacraw leader Tomochichi, whose relationship with James Oglethorpe helped shape the city’s earliest years. The square later became associated with public executions and some of Savannah’s most enduring ghost stories.

Savannah Dead of Night: Adults-Only Ghost Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Savannah.
How much does Savannah Dead of Night: Adults-Only Ghost Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $35 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Savannah usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Savannah Dead of Night: Adults-Only Ghost Walking Tour take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Savannah is not rushed.
Is Savannah Dead of Night: Adults-Only Ghost Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 2,579 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Savannah, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Savannah Dead of Night: Adults-Only Ghost Walking Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Savannah Dead of Night: Adults-Only Ghost Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Savannah Dead of Night: Adults-Only Ghost Walking Tour?
+
Around 903 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Savannah can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Savannah and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Savannah Dead of Night: Adults-Only Ghost Walking Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Savannah within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Savannah?
+
Savannah is a walking city with a dense guide market, which means quality spread is wide. Historic district walks, Bonaventure Cemetery trips, trolley hop-on routes and ghost tours with tavern access make up most bookings. Outty Ranking leans on licensed-guide status and group size, since the squares get loud once a tour passes twenty people. On Outty we rank every Savannah experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Bonaventure Cemetery Walking Tour with Transportation, Historic Savannah Guided Walking Tour, Haunted Savannah Booze and Boos Ghost Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Savannah?
+
March to May for azaleas, or October to November for cool evenings. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Savannah?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Savannah Dead of Night: Adults-Only Ghost Walking Tour?
+
Included: Guided stops through Savannah’s Historic District; 90-minute adults-only ghost walking tour of Savannah; Dark history, local legends, and reported paranormal stories; and Professional Ghost City Tours Tour Ambassador. Not included: Gratuities; Food and drinks; Entry into buildings, cemeteries, or other attractions; and Paranormal investigation equipment. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Savannah Dead of Night: Adults-Only Ghost Walking Tour?
+
Meet your guide in the center of Johnson Square at the Nathanael Greene Monument, near 2 E Bryan Street. Please arrive 10–15 minutes before departure and allow extra time for parking in Savannah’s Historic District. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Savannah Dead of Night: Adults-Only Ghost Walking Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Savannah Dead of Night: Adults-Only Ghost Walking Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Savannah Dead of Night: Adults-Only Ghost Walking Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Savannah Dead of Night: Adults-Only Ghost Walking Tour if the weather is bad?
+
