One of the most popular haunted locations in Georgia is The Pirate’s House in Savannah. The inn here was opened in 1753 and even back then it had a dark reputation for Shanghaiing unsuspecting sailors.
Lured by the promise of a hot meal, free flowing booze and a place to rest the men would come into the inn, but when they passed out they would be dragged down into the basement and into hidden tunnels that led to the Savannah River.
When the sailors woke up the next morning they would find themselves on a ship miles from home where they were forced into service. It is said that visitors to the building can still hear moaning and disembodied voices coming from the now boarded up tunnel.
There have also been reports of apparitions in the upstairs room which now serves as a restaurant.
