Savannah, Ga. is a wealth of old southern history.  Along with the history Savannah has it's share of ghost stories and haunted houses.

An 1830s townhouse at Bull and Perry Streets has sent at least one family packing, according to Margaret Wayt DeBolt's book, Savannah Spectres. A family had just rented the house and on their first night they heard a scream upstairs followed by the sobbing cry "Oh, so much blood! So much blood!" The family spent the night in a hotel and moved their furnishings out of the house the next day.  See photo below for enlargement of orb.

In this picture our host and guide on the tour Mitchell Mayer is explaining about the "House of Screams" and it seems the there is a spirit listening in to make sure he has his facts straight.  Notice the orb on the red shirt.  Below is an enlargement of the orb.

This just goes to show that you don't know who's listening in to a conversation.

Quite a few spirits came out to great us at the Independent Presbyterian Church. As you can see there are orbs everywhere.

There is an orb just in the lower left of this photo of the Bull St. Station.  Below is an enlargement of the orb.

I'm not sure which house this is.  I will have to do some research to find out but there is a very nice red orb in the photo.  The photo below is the orb enlarged.

This red orb appears to be well defined.  I don't have very many pictures of red orbs with this depth and color.

Our guide Mitchell informed us that at this tree several people have been thrown to the ground by an unknown spirit.  Notice the orb in the lower left of the picture.

This is the Owens-Thomas house.  The mansion was left in trust to the Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1951 by Margaret Gray Thomas who's grandfather Owen G. Thomas acquired the house from the Bank of the United States.  The house was built in 1816.  There seems to me a cluster of three orbs by the window.  See the photo for an enlargement of the orbs..

Either this is a cluster of 3 orbs or a moving orb.

Residents of the old Colonial Cemetery came out to greet us at the end of our tour.
