The Olde Pink House: Savannah's Most Active Restaurant
Built in 1771 and home to one of Georgia's original patriots, the Olde Pink House is said to be haunted by its original owner — and possibly several others.
The Olde Pink House was built in 1771 for James Habersham Jr., one of Georgia's founding fathers and a figure of considerable historical significance. Habersham died in the house, and by virtually all accounts — staff, patrons, and investigators alike — he never left. Lights flicker on and off, candles relight themselves, and a male apparition has been seen in the dining rooms and wine cellar.
Our after-hours investigation of the restaurant and its Planters Tavern basement produced results from the very first sweep. The wine cellar's EMF readings were among the most elevated we have recorded in a residential/commercial structure — far beyond any plausible explanation from electrical infrastructure.
At 12:47 AM, a wine glass moved approximately 2 inches across a table with no one nearby and no vibration detectable by our seismic sensor. The incident was captured on both our static camera and the Sensor Pod's motion log. This is one of only three physical object movement events we have recorded in our lab's history.
Audio produced a Class A EVP: a male voice with a colonial-era cadence saying what sounds like 'this is my house.' We believe James Habersham Jr. remains one of the most active presences in Savannah. Top priority site for future investigation.
