“Savannah is a city built on its dead,” T.C. Michaels revealed, his enthusiasm for the area’s harrowing history proving difficult to rein in for the hushed tones of a good ghost story.
He meant it literally: many homes, offices, and hotels in Savannah were built atop graveyards and cemeteries, and the spirits of the buried didn’t much appreciate it—or so the story goes. (The digging phase of new construction always proves interesting, a local tells me.)
