Madison Square in Savannah is considered one of the city's most haunted locations, with frequent reports of shadow figures and other ghostly apparitions, particularly related to the mass graves of soldiers from the Revolutionary War's Siege of Savannah. The dark energy is said to have permeated the area, with some reports of a shadowy figure resembling the William Jasper statue and even hauntings in nearby homes like the Sorrel-Weed House. Hundreds of soldiers were killed during the Siege of Savannah in 1779 and are believed to be buried in mass pits beneath the square. The square was the location of a bloody battle during the Siege of Savannah, and the intense energy from the conflict and the numerous deaths is a source of paranormal activity. The most common reported ghost is a solid black shadow figure, sometimes seen dancing or floating through the square. Some accounts describe shadowy soldiers appearing in the area or near nearby buildings. One common report describes a shadowy figure that resembles the statue of Sergeant William Jasper, who was killed during the battle.
