Spooky Savannah Ghost Tours offers one of the most distinct ways to engage with the city’s haunting legacy—Captain Stoner’s Haunted Dive Bar Crawl. This 1 hour and 45-minute journey, led by local author and seventh-generation Savannahian Spooky Stoner, moves beyond standard ghost walks to reveal a textured underworld of occult stories and hidden nightlife gems.
Savannah’s historic district is renowned for its cobblestone streets, moss-draped oaks, and colonial squares, but it’s the city’s dive bars and speakeasies—many with roots stretching back to Prohibition and earlier—that set this tour apart. Spooky Stoner guides groups through narrow passageways and to off-the-beaten-path watering holes steeped in eerie folklore. These venues aren’t just backdrops; they’re active characters in Savannah’s supernatural narrative, where past patrons may still linger among the clinking glasses.
This experience is for those 21 and older, blending the thrill of spine-tingling tales with the convivial atmosphere of local bars. Participants encounter historic dive bars and exclusive speakeasy spots, some accessible only by Spooky Stoner’s special "connections." The tour's setting near Colonial Park Cemetery adds a haunting backdrop, amplifying the enigmatic energy of the Hostess City of the South. What makes Captain Stoner’s Haunted Dive Bar Crawl truly unique is its intersection of history, nightlife, and paranormal lore—all narrated by someone who is not only a local storyteller but also intimately familiar with Savannah’s musical and bar scene.
It’s a rare chance to experience the city’s eerie atmosphere while sipping on a drink in storied venues. Whether you’re drawn by the paranormal or simply want an unforgettable night in Savannah, this tour delivers a gritty, authentic, and not-so-silent glimpse into the city’s shadowy soul.
