For decades, Savannah has topped the list of America's most haunted cities, and it's easy to see why. Because of its vital port location, the city was continuously attacked during the Revolutionary and Civil Wars. In December 1778, the first Battle of Savannah took place, resulting in a British occupation that lasted until 1782. Savannah was seized by Union forces in late 1864 during Sherman's March to the Sea. Fortunately, the city was spared the fate of others and was not burned to the ground in the face of Sherman's army. A city that has experienced this much strife is bound to attract ghosts of all sorts. Discover the ghostly past of the Hostess City of the South, from executions to accidents, hospitals to hotels.
