Savannah Series: Seeing Savannah’s Evil Side from a Hearse
I never dreamed that, one day, I'd be taking a city tour from inside a hearse while sipping an alcoholic drink from a red plastic cup and having the time of my life. I was skeptical at first, but loved every second of this Hearse Ghost Tour. This article was first published on our Savannah Travel Blog in 2010.
What could be better than touring Savannah in a hearse with a raised roof, so you can poke your head out the top? Nothing comes immediately to mind, does it? I mean, a ghost tour in a tricked-out hearse is kind of like the pinnacle of human culture.
I didn’t know what to think the first time I saw this bizarre vehicle cruising around Savannah’s squares at night. The passengers seemed to be having a grand time, drinking out of to-go cups, gawking at old mansions, and completely oblivious to my baffled staring. “On the one hand,” I thought, “that’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen.”
“On the other hand, my parents are totally going to love it.”
So when my parents came to visit, I booked spots on the Hearse Tour, arranging for a pick-up outside the Pirate’s House. What ensued was an entertaining trip around Savannah’s dark side. Our guide was completely into her character as spooky chauffeur, and her enthusiasm for the supernatural was contagious. There wasn’t a dull moment; a lot of houses in Savannah have some story of fright, whether a horrific crime or an unexplained phenomena. A lot of the tales were new to me, and I felt chills when we went by the old psychiatric hospital on Abercorn. It might have been the booze, but I swear I saw the outline of a face in one of the hospital windows.
The Hearse Tour isn’t exactly inconspicuous. I lost count of how many pedestrians laughed at us, yelling “Oooooooh, spooooky!” But if you’re able to tune out the mockery, it’s a great time, especially if you’ve got an interest in the supernatural.

@utopian-io so sad that you took the upvote away again, I wonder what happend :( Also especially sad if it was a mistake taking a vote away doesn't give your account voting power back, now all that nice reward will be lost forever.
I wonder.... has this hearse been used before for what its supposed to be used for. ....
They have been used ... urgh!
😕
This journey looks very funny. Probably many first will experience a slight shock, seeing such a strange car. But to visit such unusual places, I think that this is the most suitable form of transport, heh. Great footage. Night shooting makes them more mysterious. Thanks @for91days :)
