Richmond Haunts Short
Savannah’s Hidden Tunnels: History, Legend and the Pirate’s House
Episode notes
About this episode
| Stories of hidden tunnels run beneath Savannah’s better-known streets, linking locations such as the Pirate’s House, Factors Walk and areas near Forsyth Park. Some underground spaces have documented practical histories, while other supposed routes survive mainly through repetition and local lore.
This Short examines legends of sailors who disappeared from the waterfront and enslaved people moved through concealed passages. Because the evidence differs from one location to another, the episode does not treat every tunnel claim as proven. Instead, it explores how real cellars, vaults and service spaces became connected to larger stories about secrecy, violence and the unseen city below Savannah. |
