A ghost tour that acts like a field test. That’s the vibe I get from Spirit Xperience in Savannah: you’re not just listening to tales. You’re walking historic downtown, pausing at spooky spots, and doing interactive mini investigations with small, personal groups led by Mike and Ty.

The tour’s big plus is how the experience is built for you to take part, not just watch. Mike, a local owner and former pastor trained at Emory’s Candler School of Theology, brings the grounding and storytelling. Ty, a clairvoyant who interacts with the spirit realm, brings the extra spark. One possible drawback: they can’t promise paranormal activity. The “no guarantee” part is real, so go in with curiosity more than certainty.

Key things I’d circle before you go

• Two set routes at 7:30pm on different days: Wright Square and Monterey Square
• Mini investigations with supplied paranormal equipment at multiple stops
• One tour per night, limited group size so you’re not swallowed by a crowd
• About a half-mile total walking distance with frequent pauses, so it stays easygoing
• Mike and Ty’s backgrounds blend history, folklore, and supernatural study
• Halfway drink break (drinks cost extra) plus a reminder to stay hydrated

Two routes, one format: Wright Square or Monterey Square at 7:30pm

Spirit Xperience runs two tour options, both starting at 7:30pm and lasting about 150 minutes (roughly 2.5 hours). The route choice matters because you’ll base the walk around different central anchors in Savannah’s historic downtown.

• Wright Square Tour: Wednesday and Friday at 7:30pm
• Monterey Square Tour: Thursday and Saturday at 7:30pm

Both tours cover about half a mile, and the pace is designed for night strolling with lots of stops. That’s important. Savannah ghost lore works best when you’re actually outside, looking at the shadows and hearing the stories in context. You’re not doing a marathon. You’ll have time to breathe, listen, and participate.

If you’re traveling with kids or a teen who might roll their eyes at “just spooky stories,” this distance and pacing is a big help. You get enough movement to feel like an experience, but not so much that it becomes a slog.

Mike and Ty: why their roles shape the whole night

This tour feels different because it has a two-leader setup with clear strengths. Mike is the storyteller and guide on the ground. Ty adds the clairvoyant element that pushes the night from “campfire tales” toward an interactive séance-style experience.

Mike is a local owner and a former pastor who studied at Candler School of Theology at Emory University. That background shows up in the way he approaches supernatural claims: he doesn’t just toss out legends. He connects folklore to context and keeps the narrative moving from stop to stop. You’ll also notice he’s built his reputation around sharing what he’s learned about the supernatural in a way that feels grounded rather than chaotic.

Ty is described as a clairvoyant who attracts spirits and interacts with the spirit realm. In practical terms, that means the tour isn’t only about history. It’s also about what might happen when you’re in the moment and focused on trying to communicate.

Both guides have over five years experience doing ghost tours, and both are part of an established paranormal team that has also assisted with private investigations. Put together, you get a mix of street-level storytelling and hands-on curiosity. If you like your tours to have both mood and method, you’ll likely feel at home here.

The interactive part: mini investigations, supplied equipment, real participation

Here’s where Spirit Xperience earns its keep. You’ll be given paranormal equipment and led through mini investigations during the walk. This is not a sit-and-ghost-themed-audio-walk experience. You’re actively doing something at several stops.

The equipment is supplied, so you’re not forced to carry extra gear or worry you picked the wrong gadget. The guides then guide you through how to use it as part of the investigation moments, alongside their stories and the atmosphere of each location.

One key expectation to set up front: they cannot guarantee activity. That’s not a buzzkill; it’s a fair way to run things. Paranormal experiences are unpredictable, and they’re honest about that. What you can count on is effort and engagement. Even on nights where you don’t feel a dramatic event, you’ll still be participating in the process and learning the folklore behind why people connect these places with spirits.

If you’re the type who likes to ask questions, watch patterns, and try to interpret what you’re experiencing, this format works better than a purely narrative tour. You’ll feel like you brought your own curiosity, and you’re using it.

How the night flows over 150 minutes (and where the pauses matter)

Think of the tour as a loop of three repeating ingredients: walk, story, investigate. You’ll move through historic downtown Savannah at an easy pace, with multiple stops at well-known haunted locations (the exact stops differ by route).

At each stop, the rhythm typically looks like this:

1. You stop, listen, and get the local history and folklore behind the site.
2. You shift into investigation mode with the supplied equipment.
3. You regroup, reset, and move to the next location.

Because you’re covering only about half a mile total, you aren’t rushed between stops. The goal is to let you interact with your guides and with the spirits, rather than being herded down the sidewalk. That pacing is a hidden quality marker. On tours that are too long or too fast, you miss the atmosphere and the chance to ask questions.

Halfway through, there’s also a stop for drinks. Drinks are not included, so you’ll want a little cash or card ready. The tour encourages you to bring something to help you stay hydrated, especially since you’re outside at night and walking.

Also: the tour is limited to one scheduled tour per night, and the group size is capped. That matters because it keeps each stop workable. If you’ve ever been on a tour where everyone’s shouting over each other, you already know why this feature matters.

Why the small group setup feels better in Savannah

One of the best parts of Spirit Xperience is that the tour is designed to stay small and personal. They run only one tour a night, so nobody’s rushing because another group is waiting right behind you. They also limit the number of guests so you’re not stuck “performing attention” while ten other people are crowding the same space.

In a city like Savannah, where old streets can feel tight and stops can get busy, small-group control is more than a comfort detail. It directly affects the quality of participation:

• You can actually hear the stories.
• You’re more likely to be seen and guided during equipment moments.
• The atmosphere doesn’t get swallowed by noise.

This is a tour that works when you want to feel included. If you’re traveling with a teen, a grandparent, or a kid who needs to stay engaged, this structure helps them stay connected instead of drifting into boredom.

Price and value: $34.95 for the interactive experience, plus family-friendly tiers

The price is $34.95 per youth or adult for the Wright Square and Monterey Square tours. Children ages 5–12 are $24.95, and infants (0–4) are free.

At face value, that’s a straightforward ticket price. The better way to think about value here is what you’re actually buying:

• You’re paying for guides who run the whole event (Mike and Ty, with their supernatural and storytelling backgrounds).
• You’re paying for use of paranormal equipment as part of the tour.
• You’re paying for an experience designed around participation, not passive listening.

For a 2.5-hour night activity with multiple stops and interactive investigation moments, that can feel like good value—especially if you’re bringing family and want a group outing that doesn’t require you to research equipment or build a plan around it.

One more practical note: since drinks during the halfway break are not included, plan on adding a little extra for beverages. It’s a small cost, but it prevents surprise.

Practical tips that help your night go smoother

You’ll have the best time if you treat this like both a walking tour and a hands-on activity. The company specifically encourages a few practical things, and they’re spot-on.

• Wear comfortable shoes. You’ll be outside, walking about half a mile total, with pauses, but you’ll still want steady footing.
• Bring a beverage to stay hydrated. Water helps, even if the night feels cool.
• Expect a mid-tour drink stop where you’ll purchase refreshments.
• Dress for the weather. Night in Savannah can shift quickly, and you’ll be standing around at stops.

Also, the meeting point may vary depending on the option booked. When you confirm, check your specific tour details so you don’t end up doing a ghost-themed scavenger hunt in daylight.

If you want flexibility, the tour offers free cancellation up to 24 hours in advance and a reserve-and-pay-later option. That’s useful if your schedule is still moving around.

Who should book Spirit Xperience (and who might prefer a different style)

Spirit Xperience is a strong match if you want:

• an interactive paranormal walking tour, not just a lecture
• a small-group experience where you can participate
• a blend of Savannah folklore and guided supernatural curiosity
• a fun night outing that works for both history fans and the “give me the experience” crowd

It also has family-friendly pricing and has been enjoyed even with younger kids on the tour. If you’re bringing children, the guided pacing and short total distance help a lot.

This may be less of a fit if you’re the type who needs guaranteed results. Since they can’t guarantee activity, you should go in with the mindset that the fun is in the process, the stories, and the chance to interact—rather than in expecting a specific event on cue.

Should you book this Savannah ghost tour?

I’d book Spirit Xperience if your idea of a great Savannah night includes interaction, not just listening. The small-group approach, the supplied paranormal equipment, and the two-guide format with Mike and Ty make the whole tour feel intentional.

Choose Wright Square if that day/time works for your schedule, or choose Monterey Square if you’re aiming for a different evening option. Either way, plan to wear comfortable shoes, bring hydration, and accept that the paranormal part can’t be forced. When you treat it like a hands-on night walk through Savannah’s spooky folklore, you’ll likely leave satisfied—maybe even smiling, because it’s fun to participate in the mystery.
