Begin your evening in Madison Square, one of Savannah’s most atmospheric public squares after dark. Beneath the oaks and Spanish moss, your guide will set the tone for a slower, more intimate ghost walk through the city’s haunted historic district.
From there, continue to the Sorrel Weed House, a striking 1838 mansion often described as one of Savannah’s most haunted homes. Its history is tied to wealth, tragedy, war, and generations of stories that have never quite faded. Outside its gates, you’ll hear why this Madison Square landmark has earned such an unsettling reputation.
The tour continues toward Monterey Square and the Mercer Williams House, the elegant mansion made famous by Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Behind its grand facade is one of Savannah’s most notorious true-crime stories, a tale that helped make the house one of the city’s most talked-about landmarks.
Along the way, your route may include other historic homes, shadowed squares, iron gates, moss-draped streets, and darker corners of the city. Stops can vary by evening, allowing the guide to shape the walk around the best stories, the group’s pace, and the mood of the night.
Gothic Walks is designed for guests who want atmosphere, history, and strong storytelling instead of costumes, crowded sidewalks, or cheap jump scares. The pace is deliberate, the groups are smaller, and the stories linger long after the walk is over.
