You'll sometimes hear Savannah called "America's Most Haunted City," a title the American Institute of Paranormal Psychology bestowed on it in 2003 — though it's worth knowing that even the organization's own founder has described the designation as more honorary than scientific, and New Orleans, Charleston, and Salem all make similar claims about themselves. What's harder to dispute is the real history behind the branding: Savannah endured repeated yellow fever epidemics, served as a Civil War battleground and occupied city, built part of its colonial-era economy on slavery, and lost entire neighborhoods to catastrophic fires. A customizable Paranormal theme draws on that same real, documented weight of tragedy — the ghost stories told along the way are presented as local legend, passed down and widely believed rather than verified fact.

For visitors who lean toward the True Crime theme, Savannah's most famous real case is the 1981 killing of Danny Hansford by antiques dealer and preservationist Jim Williams inside his Mercer House home on Monterey Square. Williams claimed self-defense, but the case dragged through four separate murder trials over eight years — an initial Savannah jury convicted him and the Georgia Supreme Court later reversed it, and he was finally acquitted in 1989 only after the trial moved to Augusta because the Savannah jury pool had been saturated with publicity. That real, winding legal saga became the spine of John Berendt's 1994 nonfiction bestseller "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil," which spent 216 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and brought an entirely new wave of visitors to the city.

A History-focused version of the tour can lean on two real, dated turning points in the city's past: the Great Savannah Fire of January 11, 1820, which started near a livery stable at Franklin Square and burned roughly 500 buildings across much of downtown, and Savannah's fall to Union forces on December 21, 1864, after which General Sherman — reportedly struck by the city's beauty — famously offered it to President Lincoln as a Christmas gift by telegram rather than burning it, unlike so many other Southern cities on his march.
