| 0:28.6 | You can walk into any historic building or cemetery in Savannah and you may catch sight of ghostly presence surrounding you. |
| 0:35.6 | Whether you're a ghost hunter or just a lover of ghost stories, you need to visit Savannah and poke your head into some of the most thought to be haunted places. |
| 0:45.6 | Some of the more well-known establishments are the Marshall House, the 1700 and 90, the Keyhole House and the Pirates House, just to name a few. |
| 0:56.6 | And you could also grab a drink at the Moon River Brewing Company. |
| 1:00.6 | With that being said, there is a location that's not quite as well known as some of the others. |
| 1:05.6 | And today you're going to learn about the old pink house restaurant in Tavern. |
| 1:27.6 | Originally the house was owned and built in 1771 by James Havishem Jr. James was a hero during the Revolutionary War and he moved his way up the ladder to the rank of Major. |

| 2:26.6 | The home has survived for over 200 years. In its lifespan it's seen the Great Fire of 1820, the War of 1812, and it's made its way unscathed to the Civil War. |

| 3:11.6 | Today the restaurant is said to be haunted by Mr. James Habersham himself. |
| 3:17.6 | Apparently every employee has seen Mr. Habersham's apparition and he's especially active during the fall and the winter months. |
| 3:28.6 | Another spirit that lingers on at the pink house is a war veteran. Some have seen this apparition in solid form sitting at the bar. |
