Join Eric & Mike as the talk with Staff from one of Georgia's most haunted houses.
Sitting right on Madison Square is one of Savannah’s most treasured historic houses.
Though the city is abound with haunted houses, the Sorrel Weed House is one of the crowd favorites.
It’s made cameos in movies and television, from Forrest Gump to the Today Show.
The building’s claim to fame is its size, architecture, and of course, the hauntings.
The house was the residence of the Sorrel family.
Francis Sorrel was a wealthy plantation owner, though his life was marred with tragedy and scandal.
After the death of his first wife, Francis married his late wife’s younger sister, Matilda.
She then committed suicide after catching Francis in an affair with Molly, one of his slaves.
A few weeks later, Molly was also found dead in an apparent suicide.
The ghosts of both Molly and Matilda still haunt the house to this day.
Visitors have experienced a dark energy in the house and sometimes feel like they’re being choked to death.
Others report feeling drowsy upon entering the building.
Much of the dark energy comes from the hundreds of dead soldiers who died during the Siege of Savannah, as the bloodiest battles were fought at nearby Madison Square.
Some experts say there may be soldiers buried underneath the Sorrel Weed House.
