Ghosts and cheap drinks, Savannah style. I love the Savannah-born way Captain Stoner Joe tells stories, with real locations and real atmosphere. I also like the 105-minute pace that keeps the night moving without feeling rushed. One drawback: it is not built for people with mobility impairments, since you’ll be walking and standing between stops after dark.

You meet at Kid’s Payground at Davant Park, tucked behind Colonial Park Cemetery. The plan is simple: a short intro, then you hop through historic Savannah in a tight group, typically evening hours, for a night of spooky pub energy.

Cost is $33 per person, and that covers the tour and access to all the places you stop. Drinks are not included, and weekend slots can fill fast since the group caps at 30.

Key things that make this crawl worth your time

• Captain Stoner Joe’s story style: Savannah-born, lifetime research, and nonstop ghost talk without a scripted feel
• 4 to 5 bars, 8 to 12 tales in just 105 minutes, so you get variety without spending half the night in line
• 17 Hundred 90 Inn: the Anna Powell spirit is part prankster, part cold-skin legend
• Colonial Park Cemetery: American Revolution ghosts plus the specific figure of Renee Asch Randolier from the 1780s
• Abe’s on Lincoln: a murdered bartender’s ghost tied to the spirits and even dancing
• The Marshall House: the incubus story that adds a darker, creepier edge to the night

Meeting at Davant Park: where your Savannah ghost story starts

Your night starts at Kid’s Payground at Davant Park, behind Colonial Park Cemetery. This matters because it sets the tone right away: you’re already in one of Savannah’s most story-dense areas before you even hit the first bar.

The tour runs about 105 minutes (so roughly two hours). That’s a sweet spot. Long enough to cover several locations, short enough that you don’t feel like you’ve signed up for a half-day commitment. Also, with a 30-person maximum on weekend slots, you should get a group size that feels social, not chaotic.

Come ready for a true evening out. Savannah nights can get cold, and if the weather is more wintry than expected, you might end up lingering a bit longer at each stop simply because people slow down and settle in. Pack a layer. Your future self will thank you.

Captain Stoner Joe and the art of believable tall tales

What makes this crawl work is the guide. Captain Stoner Joe is pitched as a Savannah-born expert who doesn’t read from some distant script. The core promise is that the stories are based on real history and personal encounters, and that you’ll get an unscripted feel instead of a monotone lecture.

You’ll hear a steady stream of ghost stories—typically 8 to 12 per tour—spread across 4 to 5 stops. That structure is smart. It prevents the common haunted-tour problem where everything happens in one long speech. Here, the pace is broken up by changing locations, so the stories land better.

The vibe is also personal. One of the strongest themes from the experience write-ups is how the guide acts like a familiar local who knows the nightlife scene and can get you into the right mood and places. That access-to-atmosphere factor is why this tour feels more like an evening with a guide than a production.

And yes, expect tall tales. But not the random kind. The best stories you’ll hear here are the ones tied to specific buildings and specific personalities from Savannah’s past.

17 Hundred 90 Inn: Anna Powell and the prankster spirit energy

One of the stops is the 17 Hundred 90 Inn, a place that’s easy to picture even before the guide starts talking. The story behind it is Anna Powell, with a spirit legend that leans prankish and physical—she’s described as stealing clothes and even ripping sheets off guests.

That kind of tale does two useful things for your night. First, it pulls you away from purely scary-comedy and into story-with-character. Second, it gives you a moment where the tour isn’t only about graveyard gloom; it’s also about how Savannah’s legends show up in everyday spaces like inns and lodging.

How to get more out of this stop: slow your pace here. Let the guide’s details sink in. The whole point is to connect the building to the story, so you’re not just hearing a name—you’re imagining the setting.

Colonial Park Cemetery: American Revolution ghosts you can actually feel

Colonial Park Cemetery is where the tone shifts. You’re no longer just walking between bars—you’re in the kind of place where history has weight. The crawl includes visits connected to ghosts of the American Revolution.

One of the specific figures you may hear about is Renee Asch Randolier, described as a tragic figure from the 1780s. Having a named person like that matters. It turns a generic cemetery scare into something more human and specific, so the story has edges you can hold onto even after you leave.

Also, this is Savannah at night, so you’ll want practical footwear. Not because the tour demands hardcore hiking, but because you will be walking between stops and you don’t want sore feet cutting into your fun.

If you’re the type who likes the spooky side but wants it grounded in real places, this cemetery segment is likely the heart of the experience.

Abe’s on Lincoln: murdered bartender lore and a night that moves

Abe’s on Lincoln is another key stop, and the legend here is delightfully specific: a murdered bartender’s ghost is said to keep the spirits stocked. That line matters because it ties the supernatural directly to what bars do best—drinks, energy, and that late-night social buzz.

This is also the stop where the tour leans into motion. You’ll be guided to partake in spirits and dance with the ghosts at Abe’s on Lincoln. Even if you’re not the biggest dancer, the point is the atmosphere: this isn’t just standing around hearing ghost stories. The story gets tied into the bar’s nightlife rhythm.

A quick practical thought: since drinks aren’t included, you’ll want to budget for what you want to drink on this stop. The tour includes access and the story delivery, not the booze itself. If you like to order one specialty drink, factor that into your total cost so the $33 price feels like the beginning, not the final number.

The Marshall House: the incubus tale that gets under your skin

The crawl also visits The Marshall House, which comes with a legend that’s more unsettling than playful. It’s described as home to an incubus that terrorizes dreams and even prank calls unsuspecting denizens.

This type of story gives the night contrast. Early stops can feel like spooky fun with character-driven tales. The incubus legend is darker. It adds that push-pull you want in a haunted pub crawl: laughter and chills in the same hour, so the night doesn’t flatten into one mood.

If you like your supernatural stories with a psychological edge, this stop will likely be a standout. And if you prefer lighter ghost lore, you might find it the one that feels the most intense—because it’s aimed at dreams and fear, not just haunting tricks.

How 105 minutes turns into 4–5 stops of pure momentum

Here’s the pacing logic you can count on: 105 minutes, 4 to 5 bars, and 8 to 12 ghostly tales. That’s a lot of story per time block, but it works because each location resets the mood.

What you should expect from that structure:

• Shorter stays than a full bar-hopping free-for-all, but enough time to hear the story and get your bearings at each place
• A consistent stream of tales, not one giant speech
• A night that feels social—people are moving with the group and sharing the same scares

The tour also notes something fun for certain groups: free champagne bottle for bachelorette parties. That’s not something you should assume for your group, but it’s a nice example of how the night sometimes plugs into actual local celebrations.

And one more detail that can help your planning: the provider offers one 100% ghost-themed crawl per night, with the experience described as completely guaranteed—best time in Savannah this weekend, or money back. Even if you ignore the guarantee part, it hints that they treat each night as a full, intentional production.

Price and value: is $33 fair for a Savannah haunted crawl?

$33 per person is not the cheapest way to spend two hours in Savannah. But it can be good value if you want three things at once: a guide, access to multiple haunted venues, and a story-heavy format.

Your money covers:

• The tour itself (about two hours)
• Access to all establishments on the crawl

Your budget for drinks is separate, since drinks are not included. That’s important. If you want to order multiple cocktails, your final bill will rise. If you’re happy with one drink, you’ll likely feel like the tour price makes sense because the guide is doing the heavy lifting—selecting stops, keeping the pace, and telling the stories.

Where the value really shows is in the convenience. Instead of trying to line up several “haunted” places on your own, you get a guided route with story context built in. The crawl format is basically paying for storytelling plus timing, not paying admission to each stop.

Practical tips so the night stays fun, not frustrating

This is one of those tours where simple preparation pays off. Since it’s not suitable for mobility impairments and the format involves moving between locations, I’d treat it like an evening walk with nightlife stops, not an all-seated show.

A few practical ideas:

• Wear warm layers, especially if you’re going in cooler months (one common theme from winter evenings is that cold weather can still make the tour worthwhile, and people may linger longer at each stop)
• Plan for drinks to be extra, since they’re not included
• Keep your expectations realistic: you’ll hear 8 to 12 tales across 4 to 5 bars, so you won’t get a museum-style deep explanation at one single location

If you go in expecting a fast, story-forward night with a charismatic Savannah guide, you’re set.

Who should book Captain Stoner’s haunted pub crawl?

This crawl fits best if you:

• Want a Savannah nightlife experience with supernatural storytelling baked in
• Prefer a short, guided route rather than a long walking tour or a bus ride
• Enjoy tall tales tied to specific places like 17 Hundred 90 Inn, Colonial Park Cemetery, Abe’s on Lincoln, and The Marshall House
• Are adults only—since children under 18 are not suitable

It’s probably not your best choice if:

• You need mobility-friendly routing (the tour is not suitable for people with mobility impairments)
• You want an all-indoors, fully seated experience

Should you book this Savannah haunted pub crawl?

If you’re looking for a fun, efficient way to experience Savannah after dark, I think this one is a strong pick. The biggest reason: Captain Stoner Joe’s storytelling style, plus a format that mixes multiple haunted locations with a steady pace of 8 to 12 tales in about 105 minutes. When that guide-led access is the whole point, $33 can feel fair.

Before you buy, do two quick checks: make sure you’re comfortable with walking/standing, and budget a bit extra for drinks since they’re not included. If you like your ghosts with personality—prankster spirits, Revolutionary-era chilling, bartender legends, and the occasional dream-terrifying incubus—this tour is built for that exact mood.
