Where else did they hide body parts in Savannah? Well we know the
Marshall House was used as a hospital and they had to amputate limbs and
well hid them under floor downstairs and kinda forgot about them YUCK!
In
the year 1851, the beautiful and charming Marshall House was the first
hotel to be built in Savannah. Located in the historic downtown
district, the Marshall House didn't always serve as a hotel. It was once
used as a hospital during the Civil War and twice during times of
yellow fever epidemics.
It is well known that Savannah
is considered one of the most haunted cities in America, because the
Marshall House has a long history- enduring a war and several epidemics
- it isn't surprising that it also has a very lively and active
ghostly presence. In 2005, the Marshall House was even featured on
Travel Channel's Haunted Hotels.
There have been a variety of paranormal reports coming from the Marshall House. Below is a complied list of some hauntings:
Both guests and staff have reported seeing ghosts in the hallways and the foyer.
When
no children were registered at the hotel, guests could hear the sound
of children running up and down the hallways in the early morning hours.
A few guests claim that someone or something was holding onto their wrist - like a nurse feeling for your pulse.
Loud crashes coming from the 4th floor hallway in the early morning.
Toilets
suddenly overflowing for no apparent reason, hence not when in use! One
account involved a woman and her daughter. The toilet started to
overflow on its own. They used some towels to soak up the water and then
called maintenance. However, when maintenance arrived, they found only
two baffled guests: When the mother went back into the bathroom to see
if the overflow had stopped, it not only had stopped but the towels and
the floor were dry!
While
a guest was watching TV one night, he suddenly heard water running in
the bathroom. He got up to check and found the bathtub faucet had
mysteriously turned itself on.
A
guest heard the door knob rattling as if someone was trying to enter
the room. However, upon looking through the peephole, no one was there.
The
sound of a woman walking with high-heels heard overhead from room 205.
The only glitch: the guest in the above room, room 305 were not in at
the time.
