Why is Savannah called America's most haunted city?

In October 2002, the American Institute of Parapsychology held a conference in Savannah to give it the title "America's Most Haunted City." Its founder, Andrew Nichols, pointed to Savannah's unchanged old buildings and the many people who had lived and died there.

Can you go into Colonial Park Cemetery at night?

No. The City of Savannah allows no one in Colonial Park after hours and bars any tour marketed as haunted from its cemeteries, so visit by day and hear the ghost stories outside the gates.

Is there a haunted hotel in Savannah?

Several. At 17Hundred90, owner Patrick Godley calls Room 204 "famously haunted," and guests tell of a presence tugging at the sheets.

Can you go inside the Mercer Williams House?

Yes, on the museum's guided tours, with tickets sold at the carriage house behind it on Whitaker Street. Jim Williams shot Danny Hansford in its study in 1981, the killing at the heart of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.

Where is Little Gracie's statue?

In Bonaventure Cemetery, about three miles from downtown, behind an iron fence at plot E-98.

Can you go inside the Sorrel-Weed House?

Yes. The house sells its own history tours, nightly ghost tours, and late-night paranormal investigations.
