Haunted Pub Crawl in Savannah

More about Chippewa Square

Chippewa Square sits at the heart of Savannah's historic district, a leafy green oasis ringed by gas lamps, oak canopies dripping with Spanish moss, and centuries-old townhouses that have witnessed more than their share of strange happenings. Most visitors recognize Chippewa Square as the famous bench location from Forrest Gump, but locals know it carries a darker reputation after sundown. As one of the original squares laid out by James Oglethorpe in the 1700s, Chippewa Square is steeped in colonial history, Civil War memory, and the kind of lingering folklore that makes Savannah one of America's most haunted cities. On the Haunted Savannah Pub Crawl, this storied square becomes an atmospheric anchor between rounds of cold drinks and chilling tales.

As your guide leads the group through the surrounding lanes, Chippewa Square offers the perfect pause to soak in the eerie ambience that defines a Savannah ghost tour. The flicker of historic street lamps catches the bronze statue of Oglethorpe at the center, while the rustle of palmettos and the distant clop of carriage horses set a cinematic mood. You will hear stories tied to the square and the buildings that frame it, from theatrical hauntings at the nearby Savannah Theatre to whispered accounts of restless spirits said to drift across the grass after dark. Between stops at local pubs, the contrast between candlelit barrooms and the open, shadowed expanse of Chippewa Square heightens every goosebump moment.

This experience is made for travelers who love a blend of history, nightlife, and the supernatural, whether you are a curious first-timer in Savannah, a group of friends celebrating together, or a couple looking for a memorable night out. Ghost story fans, craft beer lovers, and anyone fascinated by Southern Gothic atmosphere will feel right at home walking the bricks around Chippewa Square. By the end of the crawl, you will see why this beautiful, slightly haunted corner of Savannah lingers in your memory long after the last drink is finished.
