TRAVEL GUIDE

Sorrell-Weed House

Savannah, Ga.

Is this a real apparition?

Original photograph taken while on a Savannah tour.

This photograph was taken by Angela and Scott Miller while on a trolley
tour in Savannah as they were passing the Sorrell-Weed House.   Scott had
noticed the door open and snapped the photograph as they passed by using a
disposable camera.   Is this an image of a transparent woman in the doorway?

History

Located on 6 West Harris Street in Savannah, the Sorrel Weed House was built in 1840.
General Gilbert Moxley Sorrel (youngest general in the confederate army)
owned the home.   It was also visited by General Robert E. Lee (1862) and General
William T. Sherman (1864).   Recently a new owner found a box inside a false
ceiling and in contained the original surrender papers signed by General Lee.
The papers were determined to be authentic.   Supposely there are 13 copies
distributed and only 5 remain in existence.

Hauntings

The Sorrell Weed House is suppose to be very haunted, very haunted.   It is now
listed as Savannah's most haunted house.   It was featured on Sci-Fi's Ghost
Hunters in October of 2005, of which Jason and Grant declared that the house
was indeed haunted.   During their investigation they captured an EVP of a
woman yelling, "Get out, get out........help me, my god, my god".   Spirits who
are believed to haunted the house include a former slave who died at the
house and Francis Sorrell's wife who killed herself by jumping from a
second floor balcony.
