Paschal was an amazing guide and a great story teller. I love that he made it more of a conversation. So fun !
Savannah’s ONLY after-hours, cemetery ghost tour! Conducted by Shannon Scott, this specialty adult tour delves into layers of secret society topics, ghosts, root doctor ritual work, gangsters, bootleggers, murderous lovers, and other clandestine story gems that Scott defines as “the taboo tales” of Bonaventure. For fans of Midnight In The Garden of Good & Evil? This is the ultimate show as you roam the grounds discussed in the novel where many of the characters are now buried and per expectation told in a highly personal, maverick manner by The Bard of Bonaventure, Shannon Scott!
Departure Point
- Bonaventure Cemetery
From Downtown Savannah we recommend taking East Liberty route to Wheaton St and traveling Wheaton until it becomes Skidaway Rd. Once at a "Little 5 Points" intersection, you'll turn Left on E. 36th St. This bumps right into Bonaventure another mile down. Approx 10-15 minutes.

Stop At: Bonaventure Cemetery
330 Bonaventure Rd, , Savannah, Georgia
During this 2.5 hour tour, you will be joining a very exclusive club of people who have seen the cemetery after it closes to the public. Not since it opened in 1846 has this been an opportunity, but thanks to your very special local host, now it is. You are literally locked in the cemetery the entire time; for the right taker, there's no price you can put on the joy of that. Imagine having the serenity, stillness, and quiet of the cemetery, uninterrupted by the living world. Stories stretch from the present day all the way back to Bonaventure's plantation beginnings in 1754. Our topics range from the funny and uplifting to the macabre at its most morbid. Some of the stories that will be covered include those of: • A "hooch runner" for Al Capone • A bizarre love story that ended in one murder and one visit to the electric chair • Savannah's role in The DaVinci Code • Lady Minerva & Jim Williams in Midnight in The Garden of Good and Evil
Duration: 2 hours
