The inn was originally built in 1812, but that building was destroyed by fire in the 1890s. The owners rebuilt over the original foundation. It was an oil company and blue-jean factory until it closed, and was vacant for over two decades. In 1987, it opened as the upscale Olde Harbour Inn. The staff tell of a ghost named Hank who smells as if he smokes cigars. Witnesses say Hank likes to move people’s belongings and drop coins from the ceiling.

My wife and I stayed at the Olde Harbour Inn over Halloween last year. We were there for four nights. Our first experience came on our first night when the desk lamp turned on and off on its own. My wife said that it was probably just a faulty switch, but as soon as she said that, the light turned back off and the door on our TV Stand slammed shut. The light turned on and off about 5 times throughout our stay. That night, I could barely sleep. The room was very cool, but my body started to heat up. I was sweating profusely and felt like I had a bad fever. It felt like I was sitting next to a campfire. I finally got to bed when my wife woke up struggling to breathe. She could not catch her breath for several minutes. She was really scared. We were pretty freaked out and even discussed switching rooms, but decided to stay. We specifically chose the hotel for its haunted reputation.
We both woke up the second night around 3 AM to footsteps in the hall of our room. The footsteps continued all the way to our bed and stopped. We clearly heard them on our floor. We were the bottom level, so there is not way it came from below. It was very creepy.
With all of the things that we experienced, I honestly believe that this place is haunted. I loved staying there, even after the sleeping issues we had. Savannah is the perfect city to celebrate Halloween.
