But the chill in the air and dark, cold weather adds an especially spooky touch to any ghost tour in Savannah. Since the sun goes down earlier in the winter months, you can beat the rush and go on a dark and mysterious tour by 7 p.m. Savannah is known for being a haunted city – hold on to the person next to you to ease your fears and to keep you warm! Go on a walking ghost tour to keep your blood pumping, or ride on a hearse tour and bring a small blanket. Either way, you’ll be sure to experience the supernatural with an added winter chill.
