Savannah Georgia may not be the first destination you’d think of being haunted, but it definitely is! In fact, Moon River Brewing was even featured on Travel Channel’s Ghost Adventures and Buzzfeed Unsolved. Moon River Brewing originally served as Savannah’s first hotel, first branch of the United States Post Office, and Savannah’s first branch of the Bank of the United States. After going through many changes and being left abandoned for several years, the building was reopened as a bar, Moon River Brewing, in 1999. Today, tourists love visiting Moon River, because it is said to be haunted. Employees say that the building is home to a ghost named Tony, claiming they’ve seen things being knocked off of tables, and guests have even claimed that they have felt their ankles being grabbed. Another haunted highlight of Savannah is their award winning Hearse Ghost Ride Tours. With an intimate eight person guest limit, cruise around the city in a converted open top hearse and learn about the haunted history of Savannah.
