HAUNTED REPUTATION
Called "the most paranormal city in America," Savannah is a mecca for those seeking a haunted experience. If you’re one of the many visitors interested in the haunted reputation of our city, we invite you to experience Savannah's haunted history from the Eliza Thompson House on historic Jones Street. Built in 1847, our house has just enough creaks and nuances to fit right in with the spirit of spooks in Savannah.
​
Originally built by Joseph and Eliza Thompson for their large family, the home’s history is closely tied to Savannah’s Civil War and Victorian-era past. Over the years, guests and local storytellers have described seeing the figure of a Confederate soldier standing quietly at an upstairs window, as well as hearing the soft laughter of a young girl in a white dress drifting through the hallway late at night. Whether explained or unexplained, these recurring accounts have helped secure the Eliza Thompson House’s place among Savannah’s most talked-about haunted stays.

Featured in The South Magazine's Savannah Paranormal Investigation:
A few years back, writers from The South Magazine stayed awake throughout the night to study the Eliza Thompson House's reported paranormal activity. The resulting article, titled “Fright Night,” was the subject of much conversation and speculation about the spirits that inhabit Savannah’s older homes. Using their own 'Fright-O-Meter' scale to compare the houses researched, the writers concluded that The Eliza Thompson House was a 4.5 out of 5.
