Built in 1852, East Bay Inn is frequently named one of the most haunted hotels in Savannah – including a spot on TheTravel.com's "10 Haunted Hotels In Savannah To Satisfy Your Paranormal Passion." Our historic property is widely rumored to be home to a spirit from the past. Fortunately for guests, he's a friendly one – despite the story that this young man met an untimely end ages ago, falling from a third-floor window. Affectionately named "Charlie" by our staff, our resident specter is more mischievous than malicious: walking the third floor at night, flickering lights, locking doors. That's just classic Charlie.
