Listen Later

Today’s episode is going to kick off a series that will be sprinkled into future shows called Haunted Cities. And our first stop on the tour is Savannah, GA. Founded in 1733 by General James Oglethorpe, the city has seen its fair share of tragedy in its nearly 300 year history. From war to disease and the slave industry, there’s lots of reasons this city might be haunted. We’re going to share some of the city’s extensive history as well as some of its must-do haunted spots.
