Hilton Head Island/Savannah-Pt. 5

I left off yesterday on Day 6 of our vacation as we were about to head back to Savannah for the evening to partake in a ghost tour. Let me say here that the "boyfriend drama" with Brittany and C. continued, which made for a very stressful evening for us all.  Not quite what I had intended. UGH!

We got to Savannah around 7:30 PM.  Our tour was due to start at 9:30 PM, so that gave us some time to check out more of the sights and to revisit a few of our favorites.

The girls are standing outside of Colonial Park Cemetery where our tour was to begin.

Here I am with the hubs...we're smiling through our stress...TRUST ME!

Another view of St. John the Baptist Cathedral...

This is one of my favorite shots that I took.. It's of an old man walking his dog.  Completely warmed my heart!

This is the steeple (Independent Presbyterian Church) shown at the beginning of Forrest Gump where the feather floats down. Pretty nifty, huh?

We met our Tara Haunted Tours group and guide at the gates of Colonial Park Cemetery at 9:30 PM and we were off! Some folks were sitting on that step below the gate UNTIL our guide informed us that there was a grave right beneath them! Read up on the history of the cemetery...very interesting stuff!

Our tour guide suggested we try and capture "something" with our cameras as it's known to be a very "active" area.  This is the first picture I took through the gates of the cemetery...

And this is the second one I took immediately after it.  See the large white circle floating above the grave and the smaller one off to the right?  Some refer to it as an 'orb'. I have no explanation for it, so it does leave you wondering.

This is a bed and breakfast our guide took us to called the 17Hundred90. Room 204 (the 2nd upstairs window to the right of the tree) is the most requested haunted room in the city of Savannah.  Reports are that it's "inhabited" by a young servant girl named Anna who jumped out the window of room 204 after her sailor boyfriend abandoned her.

The tour ended about 25 mins. earlier than expected, but to be quite honest, we were OK with it. Our tour guide acted as though he'd rather be anywhere else than on the tour.  He didn't seem to know any of the stories very well, at all.  It was quite a let-down, to be honest.  So, if you are ever interested in taking a ghost tour in Savannah...one that will leave your spine tingling...go on the Blue Orb Ghost Tour, instead. That's just my personal opinion for what it's worth.

Here's one final look at 432 Abercorn...much creepier at night!



We didn't get back to Hilton Head until around midnight, so we were pooped!  Tomorrow, I'll wrap things up with what we did on our final day.  Oh, and after all that "boyfriend drama"...they are together, again. Looneyville...here I come!
