Paranormal Investigation The Haunted Speakeasy
Book on Viator →Operated by Real Haunted Savannah · Bookable on Viator
Paranormal nights in Savannah have a rhythm. This 1.5-hour event is built around a real downtown setting, starting near Wright Square and moving you into a haunted speakeasy-style investigation with structured guidance. I especially like that you get hands-on equipment time and leave with audio and video files from what gets captured.
Two practical wins for you: admission includes a drink ticket and appetizer, and the night is organized with Paranormal Investigation 101 plus equipment training and a Q&A so you are not just wandering around hoping something happens. One thing to keep your expectations grounded: the format can feel more focused on the activity than on deep, detailed spirit backstory, so you might not get the kind of clear, spoken communication you are picturing.
The group stays small (max 20), and it runs in English, starting at 6:00 pm with a return back to the meeting point. It’s also weather-dependent, so plan to dress for Savannah evenings and expect the operator to move things if conditions are bad.

Key Things You’ll Notice Right Away

- Small-group pace (up to 20 people): enough structure that you do not feel lost.
- Drink and appetizer included with admission: value is built in from the start.
- Paranormal Investigation 101 + equipment training: you get a real walkthrough before you start testing.
- Custom equipment use during the investigation: you are not stuck watching from the sidelines.
- Audio and video files after the event: you get something tangible to review later.
- Wright Square as the starting anchor: a recognizable Savannah meeting point that keeps logistics simple.
What You’re Really Signing Up For: A Savannah Haunted Speakeasy Night

This isn’t a long, slow “ghost tour” where you listen to stories and hope for a chill. It’s a focused paranormal investigation experience with a clear sequence: training, site history context, then hands-on device time while you’re in the haunted speakeasy environment.
I like that the event has a measured pace. With about 1 hour 30 minutes total, you can fit it into a dinner plan without burning your whole evening. It also works well if you are curious about paranormal investigations but do not want a hardcore, all-night commitment.
The other big thing is intent. The night is set up to capture activity using custom tools and then share what’s recorded. In plain terms, you are there to participate in an investigation process, not just to be entertained.

Wright Square Start at 12 W State St: Getting Your Night Off on Track

Your evening begins at 12 W State St, Savannah, GA 31401, with the start time listed as 6:00 pm. The activity ends back at the same meeting point, which makes your transportation math easier when you’re done.
The start near Wright Square matters for two reasons. First, it’s a straightforward, central location for meeting. Second, it signals you are in the downtown Savannah zone where evening foot traffic is normal, which helps the whole experience feel like a real night out rather than a remote expedition.
Once you arrive, you’ll get the basics that keep the rest of the night smooth:
- A drink ticket (included with admission)
- An appetizer (also included)
- A structured intro: Paranormal Investigation 101, equipment training, site history, and a general Q&A
This setup is useful if you are new. You get time to ask practical questions before devices start rolling.
Paranormal Investigation 101 and Equipment Training: Where Beginners Get Help

Before any equipment is used in the investigation, you get Paranormal Investigation 101 and Paranormal Equipment Training. That part matters more than it sounds.
When people are new to this kind of event, the most common frustration is confusion: what the devices are for, what to do with them, and what results might look like. Training cuts that friction. Instead of you guessing how to hold something or when to use it, you get guided instruction so you can actually participate.
There’s also site history and a general Q&A. Even if you crave a super deep storyline, the Q&A piece is practical. Ask your questions while the host can still answer them directly, and you’ll get more out of the time you spend in the speakeasy environment later.
One note from the overall experience flow: the investigation can feel more about the activity than about long-form storytelling. If you want a rich narration from minute one, you might wish the history section had more detail. If you mostly want to try the process and see what gets recorded, the training is the right focus.
The Haunted Speakeasy Investigation: How the Night Plays Out

After the intro, you move into the investigation portion. The event centers on a haunted speakeasy experience in downtown Savannah, and you’ll be allowed to use the custom equipment during the paranormal investigation.
Here’s what you can expect from the structure:
- You receive guidance up front on how to operate the tools.
- You spend time testing and scanning in the speakeasy setting.
- You aim to capture paranormal activity using both audio and visual recording approaches.
A couple of practical takeaways to keep your expectations tuned:
- Responses, if they occur, may not be loud or obvious.
- You might hear or record things that are hard to interpret on the spot.
- You may not get clear spoken back-and-forth. This is a process where audio responses can be the highlight, but full sentences are not guaranteed.
The best way to enjoy it is to treat each moment like data gathering. Stay alert, follow host instructions, and give the equipment a fair chance to pick things up rather than constantly switching roles.
Custom Equipment and the SLS with Figure Mapping Advantage

The standout piece of equipment, based on what has been praised, is the SLS with figure mapping. That matters because figure mapping-style tools can translate motion or shapes into something you can interpret during and after the session.
Why this is good for you:
- It gives you a clearer way to “see” what’s being detected rather than relying only on vague impressions.
- It can make the experience feel more interactive and less like you are just waiting for a sound.
Even if you have never used paranormal tools before, the presence of equipment training helps you use the devices correctly. And since you’ll get video and audio files later, you can review what happened without relying on your memory of the moment.
Also, remember that multiple types of equipment are often used for a reason. Some tools may be more effective in certain environments or lighting conditions. If you want the best chance of getting something interesting, pay attention during the equipment training so you understand what each tool is attempting to capture.

What You Get After: Audio and Video Files You Can Actually Review

One of the most tangible parts of this experience is that you receive video and audio files of all paranormal activity captured during the event. That is a big deal for value and for your own peace of mind.
Live paranormal events can feel chaotic in the moment. Your brain fills in gaps. Having recordings lets you slow down later and check what was actually captured. If the speakeasy atmosphere makes everything feel heightened, the recordings help you separate emotion from evidence.
I also like that the files are provided as part of the admission. You do not have to figure out how to record your own footage while also participating in the investigation.
Just keep in mind: recordings do not automatically mean “proof.” They do mean you have a real artifact from your night, which is exactly what most people want when they book a paranormal investigation.
Timing, Group Size, and the 6:00 pm Savannah Evening Flow

This tour runs for about 1 hour 30 minutes and starts at 6:00 pm. It’s short enough that you can still do dinner or an afterward walk, especially since it ends back at the meeting point.
Group size is capped at 20 travelers, which keeps the investigation from turning into a crowded shuffle. Small groups also help with the Q&A. You are more likely to get your question answered without waiting in line behind a parade of people.
You’ll also get a mobile ticket, and the confirmation happens at booking. The meeting point is described as near public transportation, which is helpful if you want to avoid a car hunt in downtown Savannah.
What to wear and bring:
- Dress for cooler evening temps (Savannah nights can be damp and breezy).
- Leave room in your hands for equipment guidance during training.
- If you wear glasses, consider how they will handle low lighting inside.
Best for Who: Paranormal Rookies vs. Hard-Core Ghost Hunters

This experience is a great fit for paranormal rookies and people who want to try an investigation format without signing up for a full overnight commitment.
If you’re new, the Paranormal Investigation 101 and equipment training are the main draw. They set expectations and help you participate instead of standing around unsure.
If you are more hardcore and you need high-powered results every time, you might find the format too short or the communication outcomes unpredictable. Some nights lean toward subtle audio findings, and spoken communication might not happen in the way you hope.
The sweet spot is curiosity plus realistic expectations:
- You want to feel the atmosphere of a haunted speakeasy in downtown Savannah.
- You want to handle or use equipment with guidance.
- You want a quick, structured session with recordings afterward.
Weather Matters and Communication Outcomes Vary
The operator notes that this experience requires good weather. That’s not just a policy checkbox. It can affect whether the event can run safely and on schedule in the downtown setting. If weather forces a change, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund.
Now, about the paranormal part. Communication is never guaranteed in this type of event. You might catch audible responses, or you might only find quieter results. That is why the training and recordings matter: they help you engage with the process even when the night is not dramatic on cue.
If you are going in expecting full sentences and obvious answers, you may feel disappointed. If you are going in to participate, capture something, and review later, you’ll likely have a better time.
Price and Value: What Makes It Feel Worth It
You may not know the price up front, but you can still judge value based on what’s included.
This experience bundles in several useful items:
- Admission with a drink ticket and appetizer
- Paranormal Investigation 101 and equipment training
- Custom equipment use during the investigation
- Audio and video files after the event
For many people, those inclusions shift the experience from pay-to-watch to pay-to-participate. That’s a more satisfying model, especially for first-timers. You’re not just paying for a spooky setting; you’re paying for instruction, active participation, and take-home media.
If you compare it to paying separately for a guided tour plus a paranormal workshop, the bundled structure is a big part of why it lands well for many budgets.
Should You Book Paranormal Investigation The Haunted Speakeasy?
Book it if:
- You want a structured paranormal investigation with training rather than a story-only ghost walk.
- You like the idea of a haunted speakeasy atmosphere in downtown Savannah.
- You want to use equipment and get audio/video files afterward.
- You’d rather do 90 minutes than commit to something all-night.
Skip it or adjust your expectations if:
- You want a long, deeply detailed backstory before the investigation starts.
- You need guaranteed spoken communication or obvious “big proof” moments.
- You are sensitive to the idea that results can be subtle or inconsistent.
If you want my simple advice: this is a good choice for your first paranormal investigation in Savannah. It’s practical, interactive, and time-smart—and the equipment focus gives you something real to work with.
