Richmond Haunts Short
The Ghost Cat of Savannah’s Davenport House
Episode notes
About this episode
| The Davenport House Museum stands on Columbia Square in Savannah’s Historic District. Built in 1820 by master builder Isaiah Davenport with the work of enslaved laborers Ned and Davey, it is one of the city’s oldest brick structures and later became the starting point for Savannah’s modern preservation movement. Among the supernatural stories attached to the historic home is the reported ghost of a cat. This Short focuses on that smaller, quieter presence rather than the human apparitions that dominate many Savannah tales. The episode treats the cat as local ghost lore while grounding the page in the documented history of the Davenport House and its importance to the city. |
