I am writing this to correct an error in the story of Anna, who haunts the 1790's Inn, located in Savannah, Ga. I have stayed in the Inn on several occassions, and am very familiar with the story. The story is that she was in love with a sailor, but he did not jump from the window... SHE DID. (He had gone to sea and was not there to throw himself out of a window) She was deeply depressed because he was going to sea and leaving her, most likely never to return. It is said that she could see the sails of his boat as it went down river and out to sea. She threw herself from a 3rd floor window. There is also said to be a woman who haunts the kitchen in the inn who used to practice voodoo, and a spirit haunts the bar/restaurant area.
I have taken photos throughout the inn, but have not caught any anomalies on film. However, when I tried taking pictures in the bar area, my camera suddenly failed to work. Once I left the area, my camera functioned with no problem. I also had to buy new batteries twice in one weekend, as if something had drained them. On the second floor near a linen closet, I felt a forboding presence. Later, when talking to a housekeeper at the inn, I was told she had had a dream once of a man clad in 1700's clothing coming out of that same closet. She had no idea that I had a really creepy feeling each time I walked by it. The second time I stayed at the 1790's I remarked to the clerk as I checked in, that at least I wasn't going to have to sleep in "Anna's room". The clerk told me that the window she threw herself from was not actually her bedroom at the time... her bedroom was room 101... which is the room I was staying in! When we reached the room and proceeded to unlock the door, it wouldn't open. My husband I both tried, the bottom lock was unlocked, but the deadbolt wasn't. I had knocked on the door, jokingly saying, "Anna... come on, open up." We returned to the innkeeper and she went up with us to check out the problem. She informed us that the deadbolts could only be locked from the inside and the innkeeper has a master key for those. She pushed down on the door handle and the door opened with no problem! It was if the deadbolt had never been locked, yet my husband and I BOTH knew that it had been. I suppose Anna was playing a little trick on us? The 1790's Inn (is actually spelled out as Seventeen Hundred Ninetys Inn, in case you want to search the net for it) is most definetly filled with an atmosphere of spirits from the past, you can feel it all around you if you are sensitive to that kind of thing. I heard noises in the room at night, and guests have been known to leave in the middle of the night after seeing apparitions and hearing strange sounds. Needless to say, it is my favorite place to haunt when I want to spend a weekend in a bed and breakfast here.

That's fascinating!I've seen pictures and programs on Savannah Georgia,& it is terribly beautiful!How wonderful it must be surrounded w/such lush beauty,& dense history.
Lucky lady!It sounds as if the ghosts are comfy w/you too.Or at least like toying with you!Look forward to your posts.Thanx! =)

Hi Pate,

Thanks for sharing your story with us! I will pass along your info to Maji, the webmaster at AllAboutGhosts.com, so she can update the listing. =)

That's pretty funny about the deadbolt being (or not being!) locked. Did you manage to capture any interesting photos while you were there?
