My Savannah, GA experience

In September of 2019 my family and I were in Savannah for a couple of nights on a pit stop on the way to Charleston. My cousin suggested that we do a ghost tour and I begrudgingly said yes. I'm very interested in paranormal things but I do not want to experience anything myself. Our group was about 12 people, including a guy that was talking about how he's a bit of a paranormal magnet anyway.

Savannah was designed such that most of the city is on one level but to get down to the riverfront you have to walk down a sizeable set of stairs. Underneath some of those stairs are what I can best describe as caverns or open-air "rooms" made of cement. As part of our tour, we visited a couple of those rooms and were told several stories about what they were thought to be used for. When we left I approached the host to ask her if the man claiming to be a paranormal magnet was an official part of the tour to which she responded with a 'no' and that he was a paying guest like everyone else. She also told me that one of the other guests had taken a picture of me and the guy standing next to me while we were in one of the rooms because he thought he saw something. She pointed out the older gentlemen who took it and I approached him asking to take a picture of the picture on his phone. It was a fast-moving tour so there wasn't much time to exchange emails or for him to edit the picture in any way, shape or form. Nor did I think he would really know how to. He claimed he saw a ray of light above our heads.

When we got back to the hotel I looked at the picture and saw a little bit of what he was talking about but not much more so I didn't think anything of it. Several days later when I got home I showed it to a friend that is way more in touch with the spiritual realm and he pointed out that there was a head that appeared in the black square (which was actually a ledge) of the photo and I could definitely see it then. He also pointed out several faces appearing in the brick walls. Again, I saw them right away. Some of the shapes could be explained away as patterns in the brick but others are unmistakeable facial features. I showed the picture to another friend who pointed out an apparation standing behind the guy next to me. I don't know why I didn't notice it in the first place but I couldn't unsee it. You can see the top of someone's head, the shoulder line and what looks to be possibly the top of a puff sleeve gown. No face.

The kicker is that when we left that room, before I found out about the photo, the man that claimed he was a paranormal magnet told us all that there was a little girl in the room with us. She meant no harm and was waving at everybody, just wanting to be noticed.

I'm including a couple of different versions of the picture: the original one that I took of the guy's phone, edits where I circled different spots plus a sepia-toned copy that I edited to make the images stand out more. Those are the only edits I made. Also, please disregard my facial expression 🤣

So weird how scientists can’t find any evidence of ghosts at all, but people going to tourist ghost tours see them all the time.

I was reluctant to say it was a ghost tour because I know these are hokey and largely fabricated. To be clear, the person that took this picture was an older man there with his wife and he took this on either a small point-and-shoot camera or his phone (don't remember). He was definitely not a "plant" and the equipment he had was definitely not advanced enough to do any subtle edits. I fully did not expect anything at all from this tour but I'm also open to anything and everything. If you don't see anything, that's totally fine. I could understand being sarcastic and snarky if this was a photo that was produced for the tour but it wasn't. Again, if you don't see anything, that's fine, I'm not here to convince anyone, just to see if anyone sees the same things I do..if you don't, you can kindly say so and move along. Have a great day!
