Savannah is one of our favorite cities. The charming coastal town is set under a veil of Spanish moss and old architecture. Winter is also a quieter season, so Savannah's visitors can really get a glimpse of the city without the crowds, and the weather is relatively warm for winter. We're talking 60-70 degrees.

I love these hidden interesting facts!!! I remember watching this a while back, but wanted to return to thank you two! I just released a song called Savannah-Hannah, and while writing the song, this video helped me get my head into Savannah, so thank you so much for helping me and inspiring me!

Another little known and little shared in most tourist vids is that Savannah GA is 52.7% Black/African American (CENSUS.GOV) and most of the truly amazing history of blacks in Savannah is rarely spoken of in depth outside of a few African American historians in Savanah GA. who have supplied most of the facts of African American History in Savannah GA. Just doesn't encourage tourism to go into too much of THAT history. We won't even begin to unpack Tybee Island.

WHOA!!!! I have been going to Savannah for YEARS and didn't know most of these facts! Now to buy that gorgeous fountain for my backyard!

I love your format of a video about the place you are visiting then another video about the great places to eat in said place. Pro Tip: Make sure you are eating dinner while watching any of the Detour Duo food videos!

[reviewscritiques]

So I just discovered y’all, and WOW! I’m a harsh critic, and I think you’re both GREAT. Not at all irritating, well informed, great content, and VERY well produced videos! Bravo, I’m an official fan.

Another interesting thing about the Spanish moss is that they were often used to stuff mattresses for beds. However, the moss often had chiggers, ticks, and other little bugs living in them, so people would often wake up with little bites all over their bodies. That's actually where the "sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite" saying came from.

Another interesting fact is that Savannah has an underground tunnel system. Entrances are blocked off now, but when Yellow Fever came through the city, people would go underneath Savannah into the tunnels to live, thinking Yellow fever was spread through the air above.

Another thing about Yellow Fever. Supposedly, Yellow Fever claimed so many lives in the city that the cemetery didn't have enough room to properly bury the bodies. Due to this, people just started burying bodies wherever they could, and sometimes that meant burying on top of other bodies or digging shallow graves. Now, its speculated that there are hundreds of bodies buried all throughout Savannah, including the streets. Supposedly, if you see a part of a street where the cobblestones are raised up or uneven and it's not caused by a tree root, than that's likely where a body was buried.

I've grown up visiting Savannah a lot since I was born and raised in Georgia, but I never get tired of going and finding out that there's still so many things to learn about the city. I love learning about history, and Savannah has been one of my favorite historical places to visit, no matter how many times I go.

Rousakis Plaza Echo Square is often overlooked. It's right on River Street. If you stand in the middle, you can hear the echo.

I'm coming here for my birthday with my friends, and we were super freaked out about the haunted thing but overall, it's a really cool place to visit!!

[robertyoung]

I live in Cranham Essex where the founder of Georgia, James Oglethorpe, spent his final years
It makes me extremely proud that he was very involved in the planning of such a beautiful city
It is really strange that a man with such a history is virtually unknown in our local community although there is a primary school named after him named the James Oglethorpe primary school
People in Savanah make contact with the school to form what could be a great association

A wose in Savanah before 30year...River Strett👍

[sebrinacaldwell]

It has been said that some of squares where you walk have graves underneath...be careful who you walk on😃. I learned this during the walking ghost tour.

[DamianJackson-qz]

I love it. I do hope that hate never find ù2. Be safe and full of prayers.

[Brooklyza]

I lived in Savannah, GA for 7 years and yes, its very haunted! Go see for yourself spend sometime there you'll find out eventually.

I recommend you guys look into visiting Hanford, California.

Savannah is my hometown, I am a freshman at Georgia Southern University’s Armstrong campus. But in my 19 years here I’ve never known that the city is haunted
