The River Street Inn is rumored to be haunted by numerous spirits, with guests and staff reporting apparitions, unseen touches, disembodied voices calling their names, and objects moving on their own. The hotel, originally a cotton warehouse, sits on historic River Street, a location with a dark past involving indentured servitude and slavery, which many believe contributes to the lingering paranormal activity. Visitors have reported seeing ghostly figures, including shadowy forms and even mist. Guests have heard voices, whispers, banging on walls, and the sound of doorknobs jiggling. Some individuals feel a touch or someone sitting on their bed when no one is there. Things are reported to move on their own or be moved by unseen forces, with one story mentioning coins being thrown into rooms. The inn was built in 1817 and originally functioned as a cotton warehouse on the historic River Street, an area known for its role in the slave trade. Many believe the negative energy from the past suffering of indentured servants and enslaved people still lingers in the area. The Paranormal Society of Savannah has conducted investigations at the inn using devices like spirit boxes to capture evidence of the supernatural, matching activity to the building's history. During investigations, psychic mediums have sensed the presence of multiple spirits, including a man, a woman, and children, and the spirit box has captured whispers and voices.
