If you want to experience haunted Georgia for yourself, these nine haunted hotels in Georgia will make your stay a nightmare.
1. The Marshall House - 123 E Broughton St, Savannah, GA 31401
The Marshall House in Savannah has been around since 1851. It served as a hospital three different times, so it's no wonder that ghostly spirits haunt its grounds. Guests have reported seeing children running around, faucets turning on by themselves and ghosts in hallways. Don't worry--all of these haunts are friendly and guests get a kick out of their ghostly experiences.
2. Foley House Inn - 14 Hull St, Savannah, GA 31401
The Foley House Inn is another great place to go if you want a haunted Savannah experience. This inn was built in 1896 by Honoria Foley, the widow of a wealthy Irish immigrant. It was the first bed and breakfast in Savannah. The home was built over the burnt ashes of a home destroyed in the Great Savannah Fire of 1889. In a renovation in 1987, construction workers found the bones of a previous boarder, and ever since guests have reported seeing a man in a top hat walking around on the roof, strange noises and rushes of air without any plausible cause.
