Savannah, Georgia is the type of city that has more dead man’s tales than a storybook about pirates you’ve ever read, and a different version of every story, depending on who your narrator is for the day. When you’ve been here for any amount of time, you might find yourself developing a version of classic local tales that is all your own. From Bonaventure to Colonial Park Cemetery and most walking ground downtown, we have over 300 years of war, disease, famine and really anything bad that could have happened, adding to a vast list of marked and unmarked graves in the area. Some folks believe that all of these unknown and sometimes disturbed burial grounds have a lot to do with why Savannah is continually full to the brim with paranormal activity. Whether it be curses, murders, or just plain unexplained phenomenon, someone, somewhere in Savannah has their version of the story to tell and is usually pretty happy to do so. We love being smack in the middle of a haunted city and sometimes get really into it, especially around this time of year. That’s why Savannah collectively has a strong love for all things spooky and Halloween related.

Being one of the most haunted cities in American comes with a certain expectation, one to party hard on Halloween and though the all of the usual festivities may not be taking place this year, there is still plenty to do and see during this holiday. Though businesses have been opening back up and planning to host guests, not everyone is going all out like they would normally, with most areas adhering to social distancing standards. Because of these new regulations, calling ahead to ask about reservations would be your best bet this year. Updated to reflect recent changes, we’ve compiled a list of activities to enjoy on October 31, 2020 in the beautiful Historic District of Savannah, Georgia. Don’t forget to keep watching the blog to stay informed about what’s going on in the city at any time and follow us on Facebook/Instagram for tales from the #PartyBike.
