Spirit Xperience: Paranormal Walking Ghost Tour in Savannah
Late-night Savannah gets stranger fast. Spirit Xperience is an interactive paranormal walking tour that mixes local storytelling with hands-on ghost-hunting tools at well-known spots. I like how small and personal it stays, and I love that you do mini investigations instead of just standing around listening. One thing to consider: activity is never guaranteed, so if you’re hoping for a sure-fire haunting, plan to treat this as a fun, spooky experiment rather than a guaranteed show.
You’ll meet Mike and Ty, the two main guides behind the experience, and they run the night like they actually care about your comfort. Because tours are limited and held one at a time, the pace feels relaxed, and you get time to ask questions and try the equipment. The walk is designed for most people to handle (it’s about a half-mile total), but you’ll still want comfortable shoes and a water break since you’ll pause midway to buy drinks.

Key Things You’ll Notice Right Away

- Small group, not a crowd: fewer people so you can actually interact and keep up.
- Two-guides team (Mike + Ty): stories plus a clairvoyant presence for the spirit-focused moments.
- Hands-on equipment for mini investigations: you’re not only observing.
- Two themed routes: Wright Square nights or Monterey Square nights at the same start time.
- Multiple stops, short walking segments: it adds up to about a half-mile total.
- No guaranteed activity: you’ll do the steps, but the results are up to whatever is happening outside.
Meeting Mike and Ty: The Heart of Spirit Xperience

This tour works because the guides set the tone early: spooky, yes, but also organized and thoughtful. You’re not shoved into a line and told to listen quietly. Instead, you’re pulled into the experience, step by step, with two people who clearly know how to talk about Savannah after dark.
Mike leads the walking portion and the lore side of the night. He’s a local owner, and he’s also a former pastor who studied at the Candler School of Theology at Emory University. That background shows up in how he tells stories: he doesn’t treat the paranormal like pure chaos. He frames what you’re seeing, hearing, and feeling with history, belief, and the way Savannah residents have long talked about strange occurrences. If you like your ghost stories to come with grounding, this style is a strong fit.
Ty joins as the special guest and is described as a clairvoyant who interacts with the spirit realm. In practice, that means there are moments when the tour leans more into presence and perception, not just facts and folklore. The vibe becomes more interactive at those points, and you’ll likely find yourself paying attention to little shifts—your surroundings, the group energy, and when the equipment steps come up.
I also like that the tour is built around repeatability: both Mike and Ty are part of an established paranormal team and have conducted private investigations assisting people experiencing paranormal activity. You can feel that experience in how they run the night: calm instructions, clear pacing, and an emphasis on keeping you involved.

Wright Square vs Monterey Square: Picking Your Night’s Route

Spirit Xperience gives you two tour options, both starting at 7:30pm, with different calendar days:
- Wright Square Tour: Wednesday and Friday
- Monterey Square Tour: Thursday and Saturday
Both tours are about 2.5 hours (150 minutes) and cover roughly half a mile total, but the exact starting location and meeting point can vary based on which option you book.
So which one should you choose? Here’s how I’d think about it as a practical Savannah visitor:
If you like a plan that’s easy to match with dinner, pick the night that fits your schedule and treat the square itself as your anchor point. Both tours are “walking ghost tour” experiences with multiple stops at well-known haunted locations. That means you’ll get the pacing benefit either way: short walks, repeated opportunities to pause and engage, and a route that isn’t designed to exhaust you.
If you’re the type who enjoys variety, choosing based on the specific square may help your trip feel less repetitive, especially if you’re also doing other Savannah sights in the daytime. Savannah’s squares are a big part of the city’s feel, and experiencing the folklore around them at night is a different kind of atmosphere.
One small planning note: because meeting points can vary, don’t treat your GPS like it will magically guess the right spot. Double-check what you’re given for the option you book so you arrive ready to start on time.
The 150-Minute Timeline: A Walk That Stays Manageable

The tour is built around a simple idea: you’re here for an experience, not a forced march. You’ll be walking through historic downtown Savannah on an evening route designed to feel spooky and engaging without turning into a stamina test.
The total distance is about half a mile. That’s not just a number—it’s the reason the tour can slow down at each stop. Since there are multiple stops at haunted locations, the walk is broken into smaller segments. You’re not expected to keep a steady pace while trying to interpret what you’re sensing. You can actually look, listen, and follow along.
You’ll also want to expect a clear midpoint pause. There’s a stop halfway through the tour for drinks, and drinks are not included. Buying a beverage then makes sense because you’re outdoors, it’s nighttime, and even a short walk can feel longer when you’re paying close attention.
The pacing is also shaped by how the company schedules nights. Tours are limited to one per night so you’re not rushed and the team isn’t trying to turn over fast. In plain terms: you get more time with the guide and more time to engage with the spirit-focused parts without feeling like the next group is waiting behind you.
If you’re traveling with kids or teens, this is a real plus. One of the most practical benefits of the setup is that it feels interactive enough to hold attention, but paced enough that it doesn’t turn into boredom or exhaustion.
Inside the Mini Investigations: Equipment, Prompts, and Mindset

This is the part I think most people come for: the interactive component. Instead of only hearing stories, you’re supplied with paranormal ghost hunting equipment and guided through mini investigations at the stops.
Important expectation-setting up front: the tour does not guarantee paranormal activity. That’s not a sales trick—it’s the reality of doing anything supernatural. What you can count on is the process: you’ll be given tools, you’ll be guided on how to use them during the right moments, and you’ll participate along with the group.
Here’s why that matters for your experience:
- You stay engaged. If the night is slow, you’re still doing something instead of just standing there wondering when it will get good.
- You get a rhythm. Paranormal work tends to be about timing and attention. The tour’s structure lets you focus on short windows at each stop.
- You learn how to watch. Even if you’re skeptical, you’ll pick up the kinds of things people try to notice during investigations.
In several experiences, the best moments seem to come when the guides combine three ingredients: storytelling context, the clairvoyant presence moments, and the equipment steps. When those align, you end up treating the surroundings like part of the investigation rather than a backdrop.
Also, since activity isn’t promised, your mindset matters. I’d go in curious and flexible. If you want certainty, you’ll probably feel let down. If you enjoy the idea of experimenting with a spooky theory in real places, you’re set up for a good night.
The Storytelling Stops: Savannah Folklore You Can Actually Use
One reason Spirit Xperience works is that it treats Savannah’s paranormal reputation like folklore with a pulse, not a list of rumors. The guides mix history and folklore tied to the locations you visit, and they connect those stories to what people believe about spirits in Savannah.
Mike’s approach leans heavily on history and the supernatural as something humans have tried to understand for a long time. Because he studied theology at Emory and worked as a pastor before, he’s comfortable talking about faith, belief, and the way people interpret unusual experiences.
Ty’s role adds another layer. A clairvoyant presence can shift the tone from “story time” into something more intuitive and personal. That doesn’t require you to believe the same way—what matters is that the tour keeps you aware of your own perceptions and the group’s energy as you move from stop to stop.
Now, about the stops themselves: you’ll make multiple stops at well-known haunted locations, and each one is treated like a chance to do a mini investigation and reset your attention. The tour covers about half a mile total, which means you’ll spend more time paused than walking. That’s a good setup because the most useful part of any ghost hunt is what you do while you’re standing still.
One drawback to be aware of: because there are multiple stops and you’ll be using equipment, the tour can feel like a mix of walking + investigating + listening. If you want a purely theatrical show with no participation, you might find the interaction a little demanding. But if you like being part of the process, it’s the whole point.

What the Small Group Format Does for You

The tour’s size is one of its biggest practical advantages. Tours are limited so you don’t get lost in a crowd, and because they run only one tour per night, the guides don’t have to rush to make space for the next group.
That changes the experience in noticeable ways:
- You get better interaction. With fewer people, it’s easier to ask questions, hear instructions, and participate in equipment moments.
- The pace is human. You can slow down when the guide wants you to focus.
- It feels safer and calmer. Night walking in a historic area is easier when you’re not constantly bumping elbows or chasing the group.
This “small and personal” setup comes through clearly in the experience style. It’s also why the tour can work for mixed ages. A family-friendly feel shows up when kids join, including ages around eight and ten, and when older teens who usually roll their eyes at tours still end up engaged. Interaction does that. So does the fact that it’s not just facts—it’s an activity.
Cost and Value: Is $34 Worth It for a Paranormal Tour?

At $34.95 per youth and adult (and $24.95 for children ages 5–12; infants 0–4 are free), this isn’t a budget throwaway, but it also isn’t priced like a fancy event.
Here’s where the value comes from:
- You’re paying for participation, not just narration. The equipment use is included, and the guides are focused on interactive investigation moments.
- You get a limited-night format. One tour per night and a cap on group size means more guide attention.
- Two guides vs one guide. Mike + Ty adds to the experience structure, especially with the clairvoyant role.
What might make it feel pricey is if you’re only interested in hearing ghost stories and you don’t want to use equipment or take part in mini investigations. In that case, you could find cheaper “listen-only” options.
But if you want the kind of evening that feels like an event you do together—walking, investigating, and reacting in the moment—this price starts to make sense. You’re buying time with guides and a structured chance to try paranormal tools in Savannah’s historic spaces.
Practical Tips for a Smoother Night Out

This tour is designed for a casual walking evening, but a few small choices can make it better.
First: wear comfortable shoes. Even though the walk is only about half a mile total, you’ll still be on your feet across multiple stops and pauses.
Second: bring a beverage habit. The tour includes a halfway stop where you can buy drinks, but staying hydrated matters, especially if you’re sensitive to heat or long outdoor hours.
Third: go in ready to participate. The equipment moments are guided, but they still require you to pay attention and follow prompts. If you treat it like a passive activity, you’ll likely miss the best part.
Finally: keep expectations realistic. You can absolutely have a fun, meaningful spooky evening without a guaranteed “big event.” The tour is built around creating that night experience through interaction, attention, and local lore.
Who Should Book This Tour (And Who Might Skip It)

Spirit Xperience is a strong fit if you’re aiming for:
- An interactive Savannah ghost tour where you do more than listen
- A night with small group attention
- A couple-of-hours experience that mixes folklore with equipment-based mini investigations
- A family outing that isn’t purely kid-focused, but still holds kid attention through participation
It may be less ideal if:
- You want a guaranteed paranormal outcome
- You prefer fully passive entertainment with no participation or equipment
- You hate standing around quietly during investigative moments
In other words, this is best for people who enjoy trying something, asking questions, and treating the supernatural like a live experiment in a real city setting.
Should You Book Spirit Xperience in Savannah?
If you want a Savannah ghost tour that feels personal, interactive, and thoughtfully paced, I’d book Spirit Xperience—especially if you like the idea of mini investigations with supplied equipment instead of just hearing stories. Mike and Ty’s two-person approach also matters: history and folklore come through with Mike, while Ty adds the clairvoyant spirit-focused layer that changes the tone of the night.
Just go in with the right expectation: activity isn’t promised. When you treat the experience as participation plus suspense—rather than a guaranteed haunting—you’ll be happier, and you’ll likely have the kind of night you talk about afterward.
