Moon River Brewing Company

Originally built in 1821 as the City Hotel, this building housed Savannah's first U.S. Post Office and served as a makeshift hospital during yellow fever outbreaks. Hundreds died on the upper floors, mostly children.

Moon River Brewing Company is widely considered one of the most haunted - and most aggressively haunted - locations in America. The building was constructed in 1821 by Elazer Early as the City Hotel, Savannah's first hotel. It housed the city's first U.S. Post Office and a branch of the Bank of the United States. Naturalist James Audubon stayed for six months, and War of 1812 hero Winfield Scott walked its halls.

The hotel's tragic history began during Savannah's devastating yellow fever outbreaks, when the upper floors became a makeshift hospital where hundreds died - mostly children. The Civil War brought further turmoil when the hotel closed in 1864 just before General Sherman's March to the Sea. Hurricane David tore off the roof in 1979, leaving the building abandoned for nearly two decades before reopening as Moon River Brewing Company in 1999.

The most infamous spirit is Toby, who stalks the shadowy basement. Brewery tour guests regularly report seeing his mysterious figure lurking in dark corners, accompanied by random cold spots and disembodied voices. The upper floors echo with children crying and playing - haunting reminders of the yellow fever victims. Some visitors feel invisible hands grabbing them, especially in the dining area. During 1990s renovations, a foreman's wife was pushed down the third-floor stairs by an unseen force, prompting his immediate resignation.

Ghost Adventures investigated in 2009 (Season 2, Episode 7) and declared it "one of the most aggressively haunted locations they have ever encountered." Their infrared cameras captured shadow figures darting between basement kegs, and equipment was knocked over by unseen forces. The crew experienced physical attacks, poltergeist activity, and captured a deep, guttural voice growling at them during EVP sessions.
