Bettina covers the beautiful city of Savannah, the city built on the dead. So many paranormal, unexplained and bizarre things happen in this city, often referred to as the most hunted city in the US. Bettina covers some of the history and paranormal activity that occurs at the Mercer-Williams house and the Sorrell-Weed house as well as the weird, oppressive feeling while in Calhoun Square and the very cool Graveface Museum. But what happened to the “haunted dolls” pictures she took????

Beth wins “the most bizarre” in this episode. A mongoose named Gef (not Jeff, but Gef according to the mongoose), who can speak, gather and hunt, threaten and befriend. All this on the Isle of Man at an isolated farm on which lived James, Margaret and Vorrey Irving. Let me clarify, Gef stated that he was a mongoose, but he wasn’t. What he actually was, no-one seems to know. Clear as mud, right? Listen to this week’s “Bazarreties” episode to hear all about the story of Gef on the Isle of Man.

The Mercer-Williams House, made popular by the book In the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt.

There are three spirits that are said to be in the Mercer-Williams House. 11 year old Tommy Downs, Danny Hansford, and Jim Williams.

The Sorrel-Weed House is said to be the most haunted house in all of Savannah….and that’s saying something.

The house is definitely spooky, but no faces in my photos 😦

The square formally known as Calhoun Square. This is where Bettina got the weird, oppressive feeling.

The Graveface Museum is a must see while visiting Savannah, for those of you interested in cults, sideshow history, 1950s roadside attractions, secret societies, the occult and true crime.

Shrunken heads and a Haitian Vodun Skull are two items in the first room you go into when visiting the Graveface Museum. Then there is sooooo much more.
