This is THE Ghost tour of Savannah! Celebrity The tour guide is hosted by celebrity paranormal investigator, Patrick Burns. Patrick is best known as star of the TruTV (formerly Court TV) series Haunting Evidence. He also appeared as a recurring guest judge on two episodes of the Travel Channel's Paranormal Challenge. Patrick Burns will provide you with his first-hand knowledge of paranormal activity that he has experienced, even providing examples of actual paranormal evidence.
The tour starts nightly at 8 PM ET at the gates of Colonial Park Cemetery, which is located at 201 Abercorn Street, Savannah, GA. (look for the DAR statue entrance at the corner of Abercorn street and East Oglethorpe Avenue). The tour typically lasts anywhere between 1 ½ to 2 hours and is a walking tour. I strongly suggest parking at the Republic Parking garage which is located at 115 E Congress St, Savannah, GA 31401. The parking costs are only $2 and it is covered. It is a quick 6 block walk from the parking garage to Colonial Park Cemetery and we complete the walk from the parking deck in about 5 minutes.
Along with the ghost tour, Patrick also includes other famous sites along the walking tour, including Chippewa Square which is the known for the famous park bench scenes from the critically acclaimed film Forrest Gump. In the opening shot of the film, a feather floats high above the trees, then sweeps down past the Independent Presbyterian Church and makes its way toward Chippewa Square, eventually landing at the base of a park bench. The tour also walks by The Six Pence Pub on Bull Street. This pub is famous for the movie scene in the romantic comedy "Something to Talk About," starring Julia Roberts, Dennis Quaid, Robert Duvall, and Kyra Sedgwick.
The tour changes nightly, but may include stops along the way at famous paranormal activity sites including the Savannah Theatre, Antique row, the Mercer House (midnight in the garden of good and evil house) and Wright Square, just to name a few. If you are lucky, you may even spot Patrick’s wife, the famous Marley Gibson (Author, Editor, Foodie, and Ghost Huntress) along with your tour.
In summary, Patrick Burns won’t disappoint, and you will be captivated with his paranormal stories and hands-on activities! This is by far the best ghost tour in the city of Savannah!
