THE ULTIMATE
Hello and welcome back to my blog! This week I am going deep down into Savannah history with some of Savannah's many haunted hotels that are favorites among tourists. It is tourist season in Savannah and this blog is one of my four part "tourist guide" series. I am going to talk about my favorite hotels, shopping, experiences, and restaurants in the next few weeks. So stay posted! The Marshall HouseThe Marshall house was built in 1851. The Marshall house was used as a civil war hospital, where it is said that soldiers would have damaged limbs amputated and is said to be the oldest hotel in Savannah. . It was also used as a hospital when the yellow fever took the lives of many. The Marshall house is not as peaceful as some guests would wish. It is said that voices and screams can still be heard throughout the hotel and the lights will flicker and the faucets turn themselves on and off randomly. 17 Hundred 90 InnThe 17 Hundred 90 Inn has been said to be one of the most haunted hotels in America. A young woman named Anna committed suicide by jumping from a window in room 204. The Inn is said to be haunted by the ghost of Anna. Guests in room 204 have reported being woken suddenly by the sound of smashing glass and seeing a shadowy figure near the foot of the bed Employees have also reported hearing pots and pans rattling in an empty kitchen and hearing mysterious crashing noises in empty guest suites. Foley House Inn The Foley House Inn was built in 1896 by Honoria Foley. The Foley House Inn was undergoing renovations in 1987 when the owners found a human skeleton behind a wall they had just knocked down. The Skeleton was thought to be that of a rich lodger that was murdered for his money. A ghost of a man in top hat has been seen walking in the gardens at night. The ghost has been nicknamed Wally by staff at the hotel. The staff and guest have also reported of strange noises and rushes of air at the hotel at night.
