Is a face-to-face encounter with potential paranormal activity on your Georgia bucket list this year? Then you’ve come to the right place. While there are pockets of Georgia that are swimming with haunted tales and ghost stories, none compare to the history at The Marshall House in Savannah. Opened in 1851, The Marshall House has seen a lot throughout the years. Would you be brave enough to spend the night in this notoriously haunted Georgia hotel?
While most hotels may stray away from their status of being haunted, The Marshall House in Savannah leans right on in.
With a history that dates back to the 1850s, it’s only expected that this place - one of the oldest hotels in Savannah, has seen some things throughout the years.
For starters, The Marshall House was used back in the mid-1800s as a hospital during the Yellow Fever Epidemics. Additionally, in the final months of the Civil War, the hotel was also used as a Union Hospital.
Rumors have floated around of guests seeing apparitions roaming the hallways, children running the halls late at night, and even faucets and lights coming on and off by themselves.
Both hotel staff and guests have reported seeing a young man holding a severed arm, looking for someone to reattach it, or men in Civil War clothes wandering the hallways. At first, guests thought the hotel hired actors to play the part but were surprised that no such actors existed, and what they were seeing was real.
The Marshall House welcomes all to stay in their renovated hotel, especially ghost hunters. In fact, the website even claims, “our spirits are some of Savannah's friendliest ghosts!”
