GHOSTS OF RIVER STREET SELF-GUIDED GHOST TOUR
Looking for a ghost tour that lets you explore Savannah’s haunted waterfront on your own time, without following a crowd or keeping pace with a group?
The Ghosts of River Street Self-Guided Ghost Tour takes you along one of Savannah’s most atmospheric and storied stretches, using your phone as your guide through old brick warehouses, uneven cobblestones, shadowed ramps, hidden corners, and the dark edge of the Savannah River.
As you move through the riverfront, each stop reveals the stories tied to the place itself: reported hauntings, waterfront legends, old tragedies, local folklore, and the strange reputation River Street has earned after dark. This is not a rushed walk or a scripted performance.

Whether you begin just after sunset or wander later into the evening, the tour gives you the freedom to experience River Street’s haunted history on your own terms.
For many visitors, this is the moment Savannah’s waterfront stops feeling like a busy tourist district and starts feeling like a place with secrets.
