Savannah gets dark fast after 8 pm. This 2-hour paranormal walking tour turns historic squares and cemeteries into a hands-on investigation, using ghost-hunting tools as you move on foot. You start in the heart of town and cover multiple famous spots without spending your whole evening in transit.

What I like most is the blend of storytelling and interaction. You’re not just listening; you get chances to try devices and get a response in real time, from EMF meters to other handheld tools. A possible drawback: some people find the tone leans more toward history and quick-fire anecdotes than nonstop paranormal action.

Key things that make this tour worth your time

• Interactive ghost-hunting tools you can try during the walk, not just photo ops
• Evening timing that keeps your day open for regular Savannah sightseeing
• Main haunted stops on foot packed into about two hours
• A real indoor moment at 17Hundred90 Inn, not only outdoor pacing
• A ritual-style finish with cleansing and a photo after the tour ends
• Small group cap (up to 30), which helps keep the experience from feeling chaotic

Starting at 100 Bull Street: why the evening format works

The tour begins at 8:00 pm at Flip Flop Shops, 100 Bull Street (and it wraps back at the meeting area). That timing matters in Savannah. Night brings a different mood to the squares and streets, and the route is built so you can still do other things earlier in the day without feeling trapped by a long tour.

Logistically, this is designed for people who want to stay mobile. It’s a walking experience that hits several well-known areas fast, while still giving you short stop-and-listen windows. The group size is capped at 30, which usually makes it easier for a guide to manage questions and keep everyone together.

How the paranormal part actually plays out on the walk

This is not a passive ghost tour where you just sit and hope for chills. You’re given paranormal equipment and prompted to use it during the story beats.

From the way the tour is described, you can expect a mix of devices, including EMF meters and dowsing rods, plus tools like a K-2 meter and an Ovilus device that produces random words. The point isn’t that every reading is proof of anything. The value is in the experience: you get to do something in the moment, and it makes the stories feel more like an activity than a lecture.

You’ll also hear firsthand-style paranormal claims alongside civic history (executions, deaths, and documented local tragedies). That blend is exactly why this kind of tour attracts repeat fans: you’re connecting dots between real places and the legends that grew around them.

Stop 1: Flip Flop Shops check-in, then you’re off

Check-in is quick at Flip Flop Shops on Bull Street. It’s mostly a setup moment to confirm you’re in the right place, pick up whatever you need for the tour, and get oriented before you start walking.

The practical benefit here is pacing. Starting with a short check-in helps you reach the first major story location while the group is still fresh and focused. If you’re coming from dinner, this is also an easy area to find—right in the dense Savannah grid.

Stop 2: Wright Square and the darker side of the founding story

Next you head to Wright Square, where the guide ties Savannah’s foundation to executions that took place in the area. This stop is about understanding how places gain a reputation. Squares weren’t just pretty backdrops; they were part of the public life of the city, including punishment and spectacle.

This is also where you’ll start to see the tour’s structure: short stop, clear story, then move on. The upside is momentum. The possible downside is that if you want long, slow storytelling in one location, this tour’s format may feel fast.

Stop 3: Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace Museum stop (and what to watch for)

You’ll stop by the Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace Museum area for a brief explanation tied to haunted themes and nearby hotspots. The timing is short, and the description notes the surrounding area and the house as a key reference point.

This stop can be a fun change of pace because Juliette Gordon Low isn’t a scary-only name. She’s tied to a famous legacy, so hearing her birthplace framed alongside ghost lore gives you that Savannah mix: real people and real buildings next to legends.

If you’re the type who likes contrast, this one tends to land well. You’re not just hearing about death and cemeteries; you’re hearing how supernatural stories attach themselves to places with strong human history.

Stop 4: Colonial Park Cemetery and the equipment portion

Then it’s on to Colonial Park Cemetery, a gated space where the tour focuses on ghostly tales and deaths that occurred there. This is one of the most obvious “paranormal walk” stops on the list, and it comes with the extra ingredient: you’ll use paranormal equipment during the stop.

Cemeteries can feel emotionally intense, even when you don’t believe. That’s part of the value. The tour doesn’t just talk; it asks you to pay attention to what your device is doing, what you feel in the space, and how your guide connects it to the story.

Practical note: you’ll want comfortable shoes. Even if the walking portions are brief, cemetery grounds can be uneven, and you’re standing still for a bit during the discussion.

Stop 5: 17Hundred90 Inn and Restaurant, and yes, you go inside

At 17Hundred90 Inn and Restaurant, the tour shifts to a “haunted watering hole” vibe. The tour description is clear that you will go inside, and the timing gives you room to step away from the outdoor street scene and reset your senses.

This stop is one of the best value pieces because it changes the sensory scene. Outdoor squares and cemetery walls are one thing; an old inn interior is something else. In a lot of cities, ghost tours only orbit the outside. Here, you get at least one interior moment inside a long-standing local place.

Some groups also use this time to grab a drink or snack if that fits their evening. Even if you don’t, it’s a nice break from constant standing on sidewalks.

Stop 6: Owens-Thomas House & Slave Quarters and the match-striking story

Next is Owens-Thomas House & Slave Quarters, described as an extremely haunted museum area. The focus is on legends tied to the outside grounds, including reports of paranormal activity such as the sight of ghosts striking matches.

This is a stop for people who like their haunting stories visual. Match-striking claims add a cinematic element, and they also fit the broader Savannah pattern: old brick and layered historical narratives, where folklore keeps building around specific moments.

Because this stop is about documenting and reacting outside a building, you’ll likely feel the difference in how the guide runs the equipment portion. Outdoors, sounds carry and the environment can influence readings. The experience is still about participation—just know the setting isn’t controlled like a lab, and that uncertainty is part of the fun.

Stop 7: Oglethorpe Square and a haunting that dates back to the 1800s

At Oglethorpe Square, the tour talks about haunted history reaching back to the 1800s. This stop reinforces the point that Savannah’s “haunted” reputation isn’t random. It’s tied to how the city was built and how events echoed across generations.

Oglethorpe Square is also a good way to keep the route from feeling one-note. After cemetery and museum-area stories, the square format brings you back to the geometry of Savannah—clean lines, open space, and a strong sense of place.

Stop 8: 24 E State St finish near Bradley’s Lock and Key

The walk ends near the shop area at Bradley’s Lock and Key, finishing close to where the tour began. The final segment includes discussion of a true-crime event involving the shop owner.

This wrap-up matters because it adds grounding. Ghost lore can float, but true crime stories give people a way to connect supernatural claims to specific human events. Then the tour adds one last ritual-style element: a cleansing and a photo after the tour finishes.

If you enjoy an ending with a bit of structure, this final moment is satisfying. It gives the experience closure instead of just letting the group drift off into the night.

Timing and pacing: what a 2-hour format means for you

The tour runs about 2 hours and is designed to cover a lot of ground on foot. That’s the trade-off: you get multiple stops and a strong overview, but each location is brief.

This can be great for first-timers who want to get oriented fast, especially if you’re doing other daytime sightseeing too. It’s also good for people who don’t want a full evening consumed by one single location.

A few reviews also hint at how some groups experience the pace: it can feel like lots of facts and anecdotes crammed into a tight schedule. If you’re hoping for slow, immersive detail, you might want to adjust expectations. The tour is built for motion.

Group size, language, and ease of joining

This is offered in English, and it uses a mobile ticket format. Confirmation is received at booking time, which is useful if you’re already juggling plans.

The tour also lists practical participation notes: most travelers can participate, it allows service animals, and it’s near public transportation. With an evening start, that last point helps. You’re not locked into a taxi line if you’d rather use transit.

Value: what you’re getting for your time

Even without seeing a price number in your info, you can judge value by structure. The tour is built around major Savannah locations and includes time at each stop rather than just pointing at buildings from the sidewalk.

Also, the stop descriptions show admission ticket-free access for the included stops. That matters because it reduces extra costs and makes the itinerary feel complete. You’re paying for the guided story and the interactive equipment moment, not for a separate pile of entry fees.

And you get several experiences in one package:

• outdoor haunted-site storytelling
• a cemetery equipment moment
• at least one interior visit
• and a ritual-style cleansing/photo at the end

If you want a concentrated “Savannah at night” package, it’s hard to argue with the efficiency.

Weather matters more than you think

This experience requires good weather. Since it’s a walking tour that’s spread across multiple stops, rain and poor conditions can change the vibe fast. The good news: if it’s canceled for weather, you’re offered either a different date or a full refund.

In practice, I’d plan to bring a rain layer just in case, and I’d wear shoes you’re okay getting a bit dusty or damp.

Who should book this paranormal tour

Book it if you want:

• a 2-hour evening activity that fits around other Savannah plans
• a ghost tour that includes hands-on devices
• a route that hits multiple well-known haunted-feeling locations

Consider skipping or choosing carefully if you:

• want a purely paranormal experience with minimal history talk
• hate quick pacing and prefer slow, long-form storytelling
• are highly skeptical of devices and need only narrative, not equipment interaction

Should you book it?

I think this tour is worth booking if you like your spooky stories paired with real places and you enjoy doing something during the storytelling. The combination of evening timing, multiple haunted sites, and interactive ghost-hunting gear makes it feel like an activity, not a passive show.

If you’re expecting one of those tours that feels like nonstop paranormal footage, set your expectations a touch lower. It’s part history, part folklore, and part investigation. That blend is exactly why people keep coming back to Savannah at night.

If you’re planning your first Savannah ghost experience, this one is a strong choice because it gives you a broad feel for the city’s darker legends in a manageable time window.
