Savannah’s ghosts come with receipts. The 10pm Restless Souls Tour pairs on-foot night storytelling with evidence-based paranormal materials, and I like that it can take you into Moon River Brewing’s abandoned basement and second floor when the building is available. It’s built for people who want atmosphere, but also want the claims to come with context and proof-style details.

One possible drawback: this is a short, mostly-outside walk, and access can depend on whether the Moon River building has private functions that night. Also, it’s less about scary theatrics and more about history plus paranormal evidence, so if you want nonstop jump-scares, you might feel a bit let down.

Key Things to Know Before You Go

  • On-foot at night: The route is designed for an intimate look at Savannah’s historic center after dark.
  • Evidence-forward storytelling: You’re not just getting legends; you’ll get paranormal evidence tied to each stop.
  • Moon River Brewing interior access (when permitted): The tour is one of the only ones allowed into the abandoned basement and second floor.
  • Six focused stops in about 90 minutes: Stop 1 runs 15 minutes, then it’s about 10 minutes at each location.
  • Small group size: Max group size is 30, which helps everyone hear the guide.

Price and What You Get for $33

At $33 per person for about 1 hour 30 minutes, this tour is priced like a “serious fun” Savannah night activity rather than a big themed production. You’re paying for a guided walk plus the stop-by-stop paranormal evidence presentation, and that format is exactly why the time works.

The value also comes from the variety of locations. You move through spots with different kinds of stories, from a longtime brewing building to a Civil War field hospital setting to a modern-day crime connection linked to Gary Ray Bowles.

Meet at Telfair Square, Walk to Wright Square, End at Bradley’s Lock and Key

10pm Restless Souls Tour - Meet at Telfair Square, Walk to Wright Square, End at Bradley’s Lock and Key
You start at Telfair Square, 121 Barnard St, Savannah, GA 31401. The tour ends at Bradley Lock and Key Shop, 24 E State St, on the northeast end of Wright Square (one square east of where you begin). That’s a neat layout if you want to keep exploring after the tour on foot.

It’s a practical evening plan: the 10:00 pm start gives you nighttime atmosphere, but the walk stays short enough that you’re not stuck out late for a half-day tour.

Moon River Brewing Stop: The Basement and Second Floor That Set the Tone

10pm Restless Souls Tour - Moon River Brewing Stop: The Basement and Second Floor That Set the Tone
Stop 1 is Moon River Brewing. You’ll spend about 15 minutes here, and the tour team describes the haunted history of this roughly 200-year-old building while sharing paranormal evidence they’ve captured there.

What makes this stop matter is access. They say they’re one of the only tours in Savannah permitted to take groups into the abandoned second floor and the basement, as long as there are no private functions booked that night. That means the tour’s “real-world” feel can be very different depending on the building’s schedule, so keep expectations flexible.

If you’re choosing this tour partly for the scariest locations, this is the place to anchor your expectations. The basement and second floor are also where you’ll understand the tour’s style: you’re getting evidence and impressions, not just a story and a wink-and-nod.

Olde Pink House: A Quick 10 Minutes of Hauntings and Evidence

Stop 2 is the Olde Pink House, where the guide shares the building’s history and hauntings. You’ll also be presented with paranormal evidence captured during an investigation there, and the stop is about 10 minutes.

This is a good breather in pacing. After a longer first stop, you get a tighter hit of story and evidence at a famous address. If you like when a tour stays moving, this format keeps momentum without dragging.

The tradeoff is also simple: 10 minutes can feel quick if you love asking lots of follow-ups. If you’re the type who wants details, plan to ask your questions while you’re at the stop, not after the group has moved on.

Chart House: Tragic Warehouse History and the Cotton-Slave Connection

Stop 3 is the Chart House. The tour focuses on the building’s tragic history as an old slave and cotton warehouse. Again, you get about 10 minutes here, plus paranormal evidence tied to what the team captured during their investigation.

This stop is important for two reasons. First, it grounds the hauntings in a setting with real human suffering, not just spooky décor. Second, it gives the tour emotional weight, which can make the “evidence” conversation feel more serious and less gimmicky.

If you’re sensitive to dark historical topics, this is the one to think about. It’s not written as a horror spectacle; it’s history with supernatural claims layered on top.

Alligator Soul Restaurant: Chef Hilbo Craig and a Haunted Kitchen Story

Stop 4 is Alligator Soul Restaurant. The guide explains how the restaurant is haunted by its original chef, Hilbo Craig, and you’ll be shown paranormal evidence connected to the place.

At roughly 10 minutes, this is another quick stop, but it keeps variety high. You’re not just visiting historic landmarks; you’re also dealing with a building that feels tied to ongoing life and routines—then the tour flips that normal vibe into something unsettling.

This works well if you like ghost stories that feel specific to the character of a place, not only to its age.

The Marshall House: Civil War Field Hospital for Union Soldiers

10pm Restless Souls Tour - The Marshall House: Civil War Field Hospital for Union Soldiers
Stop 5 is the Marshall House, Historic Inns of Savannah. Here, you’ll hear about how the building was used as a field hospital during the Civil War to treat wounded Union soldiers, and you’ll also see paranormal evidence presented from investigations.

Even if you’re not a hardcore history person, this stop often hits because it explains a clear, real-purpose function of the building. Haunted claims land differently when the location’s past is described in plain terms.

It’s also a good “slow-down” stop emotionally. The tour has comedy and easygoing moments, but this is where the mood usually turns more reflective.

Bradley Lock and Key Shop: The Gary Ray Bowles Connection

Stop 6 is Bradley Lock and Key Shop. This is where the tour ties a haunting-style narrative to a well-known crime story: the building’s connection to Gary Ray Bowles, who was listed on the FBI’s Top Ten Most Wanted before he was apprehended.

This stop is a strong “closing act” because it shifts from historical events to a more modern, documented kind of darkness. It’s also a reminder that Savannah’s ghost stories can overlap with real investigations and real cases.

The tour ends here, so if you want to keep going after, it’s set up well for a walk through Wright Square and back toward the broader historic center.

Evidence-Style Paranormal: EVP, Recordings, and a No-Frills Approach

The tour’s big promise is evidence-based tales, and the way it’s described is consistent with what many people look for in a higher-trust ghost experience. You’ll hear evidence tied to each location, and the materials can include things like voice recordings from investigations and EVP-style content.

One detail that shows the tour’s philosophy: multiple guides are praised for being fact-based and not sensationalizing the supernatural. Names that come up in past tours include Grayson, Brock, Ray, and Keely, and the common thread is that they mix history with evidence in a way that feels more grounded than theatrical.

That also explains why some people find it more like a night history lesson with creepy overlays. If you want nonstop stage-like acting, you may feel it’s too restrained. But if you enjoy hearing why the guide believes what they believe—plus seeing the evidence presented as part of the story—you’ll likely have a better time.

Who Should Book This 10pm Ghost Tour

This is a great fit if you:

  • Want a short night tour that doesn’t steal most of your evening
  • Enjoy walking through Savannah’s historic center after dark
  • Prefer ghosts with explanations and evidence-style storytelling
  • Like a guide who can answer questions patiently

It’s also a good choice for couples and small groups because the route stays compact and the group is capped at 30.

It may be less ideal if you:

  • Want lots of inside-the-building time at every stop (the Moon River access is the big interior moment)
  • Expect a heavy dose of theatrics
  • Get bored by quick stops and short recordings

If you’re bringing younger teens, use your judgment. Some people mention their teens felt scared by certain stories and evidence, while others felt the format stayed fun and manageable. This is a “read the room” situation.

Practical Tips So Your Night Feels Easy

  • Wear comfortable shoes. You’ll be on your feet, and it’s better if your feet aren’t negotiating your joy.
  • Bring a light layer. It’s a 10:00 pm start, and Savannah nights can feel cooler than you expect.
  • Plan to ask questions while you’re at a stop. Each location is brief, so don’t save your best questions for the walk between stops.
  • If Moon River access is a priority for you, mentally frame the tour as “access when permitted.” That keeps disappointment from stealing the fun.

Should You Book Restless Souls?

If you want a Savannah ghost tour that feels like it’s trying to stay honest—history plus evidence, delivered on foot, for a price that doesn’t feel inflated—this is an easy recommendation. The best reason to book is the structure: it’s short, focused, and anchored by Moon River Brewing’s unusual access when it’s available.

I’d skip it only if you’re mainly hunting for theatrics and jump-scare energy. This tour is more about story, setting, and evidence presentation than about stage effects.

If that sounds like your kind of nighttime wandering, book it and plan the rest of your evening around a post-tour stroll.
