On my way to the CITO event, we stopped by at what is oft considered the most haunted spot in a town known for its haunts.
From the web:
Hampton Lillibridge House (c.1796)
507 East St. Julian Street.
Black and white trim accents the house built by New Jersey native Hampton Lillibridge. It has long been known as a haunted house because of strange noises and weird happenings. Even after the Bishop of Georgia performed a rite of exorcism, the sound of clanking chains was heard. Of late, though, all has been peaceful here.
Savannah - Hampton Lillibridge House - This is said to be the most haunted house in Savannah, and the only house known to have had an exorcism. When the house was being restored in the 1960s, some workmen refused to finish the job because of strange occurrences (tools disappearing, hearing footsteps when they knew they were alone, strange feelings). On one occasion, a man was seen wearing a black suit and bow tie in the third floor window when no one was living in the house. Neighbors have also heard a woman's scream coming from within the house, and a gray haired man has also been sighted.
