Reader Jenny Beyer took this creepy photo at Savannah’s historic Colonial Cemetery. The 266-year-old property contains over 9,000 graves and is reportedly home to several spirits. Do you think this photo shows one of them?

Built in 1840, the Sorrel-Weed House in Savannah, GA is famous for its history and infamous for its ghosts. But is the legend surrounding the historic home true or is it mere folklore?
The Sorrel-Weed House first belonged to wealthy shipping merchant Francis Sorrel. Though Francis was married, legend has it that a beautiful slave named Molly caught his eye. In fact, Sorrel was so enamored by the slave that he arranged for her to live in private quarters above the carriage house. There, the two romped until Sorrel’s wife Matilda discovered the sordid affair. Devastated by her husband’s betrayal, Matilda leaped from a second story balcony and died in the courtyard below. A few days after Matilda’s death, servants discovered Molly hanging from a noose in the carriage house. Now, the tragic women reportedly haunt the Sorrel-Weed mansion.
In 2005, the Ghost Hunters crew recorded this EVP which some believe is Sorrel’s slave screaming in pain (or pleasure).
The photo below appeared on Reddit a few days ago. Here’s the story behind the bizarre pic.
The OP and his wife had just checked into the Inn at Ellis Square in Savannah, GA (Room 423). It was the first night of the couple’s honeymoon, and the groom thought it would be funny to snap a photo of the bed. After all, the newlyweds expected to spend a lot of time there. According to the OP, the lights were on at the time of the photo and there was nothing visible to the naked eye. Other than the hairy pic, the newlyweds didn’t see anything strange during their stay, though a door seemingly opened by itself.
On Monday, April 22nd, my husband and I spent the night at Savannah’s haunted Eliza Thompson House. According to local legend, a Civil War soldier and giggling children haunt the historic home and occasionally appear to startled guests. I booked the Lee Room, a space once used as the children’s nursery, in hopes of spotting a ghost. Did I succeed?
