We then went up the hill in the dark, equipped with divining rods and EMF readers. I spoke with my recently passed husband, and then he stepped aside to let me speak with a Confederate soldier!

Meet Katie, Andrew, or another member of the investigation team at 416 W Liberty Street for a two-hour paranormal hunt. You will hear the building’s story, explore its three levels, and use tools such as EMF meters, thermal cameras, spirit boxes, REM Pods, and SLS cameras. The late start leaves your day free for Savannah sightseeing.

“This tour gives a great overview of the equipment paranormal investigators use while visiting locations. The host was very knowledgeable and did a great job or covering and using the available equipment. The only drawback was the area for investigation is limited to one small building that only offers rooms across 2 floors. We attended with another couple and it provided limited opportunities to interact given the time allotted. Would have rated it higher if there were other areas to explore over a longer period, but definitely recommend for a fun experience.”
