Appointed in 2003 by the American Institute of Paranormal Psychology Savannah America's Most Haunted City. And Savannah is in a position to support the title. Spirits, ghosts and paranormal activity have been reported in many of the Savannah inns, restaurants, private residences, and of course, cemeteries.

There are many magnificently restored buildings around Savannah at twenty-one seats located. Many of these buildings are supposed mansions inhabited by former owners. JamesHabersham is aware that roaming around the Olde Pink House, now a restaurant, but home early. Juliette Gordon Low, founder of the Girl Scouts, was born and raised in Savannah. Their parents are long dead, still roam Juliette's childhood home.

The Sorrel-Weed House, visited by The Atlantic Paranormal Society (TAPS) in 2005, pursued as part of SciFi Ghost Hunters Halloween Special supposed to. The story says that Weed wife caught her husband in a compromisingPosition with one of many slaves, the Weed's. Mrs. Weed, very excited, ran back to the main house. After a long dispute with her husband, she either threw herself (or was thrown) until her death from a second floor balcony. Soon after the death of Mrs. Weed, was the slave of Mr. Weed was hanging in their slave quarters. Both women are as still roaming the grounds.

The Hampton-Lillibridge House was said to be so persecuted, that Jim Williams (of Midnight in the Garden of Good and EvilFAME) had an exorcism performed in this former boarding house. On countless occasions, local residents and passers-by the sound of jazz have heard from inside the apartment.

The Kehoe had been a very prominent family in Savannah, as are Mr. Kehoe Iron Works on the River. The Kehoe built this fireproof, all iron and lived there with their 10 children. The Kehoe's heirs sold the house in 1930 and ownership changed several times to use, as are the Goette Funeral Home for 65Years. It is now a beautiful bed and breakfast, where many of the visitors report supernatural events to scream like a woman, a nurse shushing visitors, the lady in white, making appearances and multiple instances with the spirits of children.

The list goes on and on!

So, what is it Savannah, that it so attractive to ghosts and ghost stories make? Many people start with the fact that Savannah is literally built on its dead. Savannah was founded the first city in Georgiain 1733. It was in the same place as the Creek and Choctaw established retained their graves.

As the colony began to grow and prosper, it needs more space. Buildings were erected on the grave sites of the original colonists. Headstones in cemeteries were moved to make way for sidewalks and streets. Places of worship were erected on the graves of slaves.

Secondly, Savannah has a very violent history. Many bloody battles and skirmishes were fought in Savannah. One of thebloodiest battles of the American Revolution, the siege of Savannah, where about 1,200 people lost their lives in one hour was fought in Savannah.

Also, the city became the victim of many city-wide fires, at least two yellow fever epidemics and several hurricanes.

Third, Savannah has been an important port city since the days of King Cotton, as many a sailor has been spinning through the Savannah ventured a romantic story or two.

Fourth Savannahians (proud to be an eccentric bunch), as well astheir ancestors, history and the volume added to the ghost stories.

Finally, I believe that the large quantities of Spanish moss hanging from the majestic oak trees. The blankets of moss look like ghostly shrouds the entire region and give an eerie look.

Whatever the reason, the ghost stories are endless, making the savanna the right to the title of America's Most Haunted City.
