Savannah is widely known as one of the country&rsquo;s most &ldquo;spirited&rdquo; cities. Step into any historic building or cemetery here, and you may just catch sight of ghostly presences surrounding you. Over 9,000 bodies were buried in the Historic District&rsquo;s Colonial Park Cemetery. The largest number were soldiers from the uncivil Civil War. The second largest group were those whom succumbed to the raging Yellow Fever Epidemic. In each case, there were mass graves with hundreds of bodies interred with no grave markers. Stories abound of people seeing ghosts meandering or frolicking within the locked gates at night, of feeling the cold, dead grip upon your arm or shoulder as you peer into the graveyard, or of hearing the ringing bells of those who were buried alive and not saved by the bell. Many have sensed the all-too-familiar pull to the Earth, as if whoever/whatever wants to suck them under the ground. Experience the legends and facts of the city on our Hangman Tours &ndash; Savannah Spirits Series with Michael Taylor. Let our experienced paranormal investigator be your guide through the spirit realm of Savannah. Whether you&rsquo;re a seasoned explorer of the paranormal, a serious history buff, or simply curious about what lies beyond &ndash; Hangman Tours will give you an experience you shan&rsquo;t forget.
