Let's say you want to move away from other circling ghost tours and the hustle and bustle of the main downtown fray? But yeah, you still want to see old haunted houses in a historic area? Welcome to the next generation of neighborhood theater, the Sixth Sense Savannah Ghost Tour. This tour was born in 2002 and in Shannon Scott's former neighborhood of 14 years. Created entirely around the motivation that there were stories completely exclusive to Scott's own sixth sense experience shelves and those of his friends, neighbors and fellow investigators living in the same area. This two-hour gem is especially golden if you're a nut for the NY Times Best Seller of all time, the non-fiction novel, Midnight In The Garden of Good and Evil. We go in depth with personal knowings of the brilliant occultist and novel main character, the real life Jim Williams and with "that murderous house," Williams' own home, the Mercer House. Depending on your view, it's either one of America's great evil houses, or just has a very uncanny rap sheet dotted with accidental death and cold blooded killings. For fans "the book" stories on this tour are nicely rounded out with discussions of famed root doctor and direct descendant of Marie Laveau, Ms. Stephany Deveau, aka, Lady Minverva. Did she murder Jim Williams in the end? That ain't the half of it sister, but you'll have to take the tour to find out more. This Level 2 tour of ours also makes a case study of the "missing cemetery" trend having given life to the tongue-in-cheek Savannah expression, "She's built on top of her own dead." Which you'll find out is more cheek than tongue and could easily explain why this is such a city of spiritual unrest. By the end of this touring event, you'll have also delved deeply into a helter skelter home called "432." The 432 House is easily our most humanly disturbed house with tales of Victorian child abuse turned deadly, up to cult ritual killings and dismemberment in the 1970's that will surprise you with twists of strange familiarity to the listener. Just to top off this tour to ensure that you never sleep peacefully in Savannah again, we deliver a tale of a vicious, almost deadly hag attack that will set you on edge and quite possibly the edge of a departing bench at the Amtrak station. Done up with a black bow twice a night and parental discretion very much encouraged. Please bear in mind that the above "storylist" is meant to act as a measure of your tour and is not a guarantee. We permit each guide to have their own storytelling prerogatives and thank you for your acknowledgment of this in advance! There are so many stories to choose from and our guides like to mix it up!
Please be advised that you should dress weather appropriately and that tours go rain or shine unless it is determined that prevailing weather has caused or will cause detrimental conditions and in which case you will be notified within reason of such changes. PLEASE NOTE: There are two Clary's Cafe in Savannah. We start at the one downtown (404 Abercorn St @ E. Jones St. corner) & NOT the Clary's Cafe II in Midtown. Do not rely on other published materials or a GPS without the proper address or you may find yourselves at the wrong Clary's Cafe.
