Ghost City Tours Savannah, Georgia: The Dead of Night

Comments 0 Comment

Savannah, Georgia. I am romanced by its very essence each time I visit. From the captivating sways of those magnificent moss-draped oaks to the characteristic pasts of each manicured square, the glories of its gorgeous Georgian mansions and the sweet Southern drawl serenade of its hospitable inhabitants make Savannah one of the most visited cities in America. The touristy trance (I call it “The Spell of Savannah”) bewitches us from the moment we step foot on her brick-paved streets. And,…

“We’d be happy to have you!” read the email from US Ghost Adventures, but having received a formal invitation, I have to admit I got cold feet. “If we pull up and I feel any kind of bad juju or something, we’re bailing!” I informed my husband, as I reluctantly followed him out to the car. I knew right away that my visit to 92 Second Street in Fall River, Massachusetts would be far different from any other historical home…

            An actor. A poet. A writer. A tour guide. A storyteller. A paranormal investigator.             Denny O’Rourke considers himself an “old soul” and a “Renaissance man of sorts” as he likes to have his hands in a little bit of everything, now adding to the list, a podcast.             But there’s a little more to Denny, or “D.C.” as he’s known on his paranormal podcast, than meets the eye.

Little River South Carolina is one of the oldest communities in Horry County. This quaint fishing village dates back to the early 18th century and derives its name from what local Indian tribes called “Mineola,” meaning “little river.” Early fishermen and farmers, dating back even further to the late 1600s and 1700s, utilized the narrow waterway that empties into the inlet and onto the Atlantic Ocean. Being somewhat of a secluded port, Little River, as legend has it, was known…

Located just off the beaten path, about ten miles away from the Canadian side of Niagara Falls, stands an arched stone tunnel at the tranquil end of Warner Road. Nestled deep in the hillside, embraced with overgrown mosses, vines, and vibrant autumn foliage, this one hundred and twenty-ish-year-old limestone passageway sits as if it were waiting for an artist to appear with palette and canvas in hand. Although constructed for The Grand Trunk Railway, an early Canadian railway line incorporated…

Ghost City Tours, Savannah Georgia: Beyond Good & Evil

Savannah, Georgia, is considered to be one of the most haunted cities in America, and rightfully so. Established in 1733, Savannah’s haunted history includes secrets of sea-weary pirates, romantic tales of forbidden lovers, and prominent inhabitants that simply refuse to leave their gorgeous Georgian mansions.  Fairly harmless and “Casper-friendly,” right?  Right.  Or so I thought. Within the city’s beautiful backdrop of brick-paved streets, breathtaking architecture, moss-draped oaks, and perfectly polished squares harbor quite an eccentric past. You’d be hard-pressed not…
