We decided to take this tour a couple of years ago while in Savannah on vacation. It was more than strange and when I uploaded the pictures to my computer I was shocked! In one, a lady who as part of our group and who was sitting near us in a pitch dark room, had a part up the middle... More

Not only did we catch EVPs, the personal experiences i.e. hearing boots coming down the stairs and my name being called, this is by far one of the most fascinating locations I've visited.

We payed $15 per person ro tour the Sorrel-Weed House during April 2013 while it was undergoing renovations we were told would likely be completed around 2016. The guide was friendly and informative, however the tour was far too short to justify the pricetag. We were given a brief history of the family who owned the house and the tragedies... More

My honey and I did the ghost tour of the Sorrel-Weed house while on vacation in Savannah. It was a 90 minute tour for $25/person. Like others have said, the house has minimal decor but it seems like a work in progress. The tour was pretty informative, very interesting stories about paranormal experiences that others have had in the house.... More

This home has an amazing story, and sadly it is not up to the caliber of the other homes open for visitation. It was $15 per person, the furnishings are sad, and the renovations have just begun. Our guide obviously loved the house and told us some interesting history. I think they would do well to focus on people's philanthropic... More

Sorrel Weed House at 6 West Harris Street (912/257-2223) across from Madison Square (park) represents fine Greek Revival and Regency Style architecture, a British influence popular when future George IV was Prince Regent, as is Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace. Construction began in 1835, and it is one of the first two Georgia homes designated a state landmark, in 1954. It... More

My daughter and I decided to do the Sorrel-Weed House ghost tour on a whim. We work in the Haunted Attraction industry so we don't really scare easily, but we still love to do "creepy" things. The tour started promptly at 10:30 and after a brief introductory video Lauren, our guide jumped right in with an in depth history of... More

I wish I would have read the reviews before visiting this house. Everybody is correct in that it was overpriced for what you saw. It was $15 for a very quick walk through some of the rooms in the house. They were minimally furnished with little renovation. Our guide was very knowledgeable, which was nice and it was neat to...

We got to the historical center in the morning and was done seeing must of it by the afternoon. So we decided to take a ghost tour. We went to the Sorrel Weed House. First they make you reserve your spot with a credit card before you go at night. First the tour guide talks you through the tour of... More
