It’s not clear as to which is more terrifying, the ghosts spotted on the tour or the ghost stories told by the tour guides.

Hearse Ghost Tours, Savannah, Georgia

This tour is quite different than the other ones on the list because instead of being a walking tour, participants ride around in a hearse. This just adds to the creepiness of the tour. Stops include a visit to one of Savannah’s oldest buildings- the Pirate’s House which is full of mean and drunk ghosts and the Olde Pink House where former slaves and their owners roam around.
