Here is the site of the old public gallows in Savannah. Unfortunately, there's nothing left to show for it, but you can kind of imagine it if you try. Anyway, it's suspected that the reason the square is so heavily infested witih cockroches is all those criminal spirits
Now you ask "what did they do with the bodies?" Well, they buried them right across the street. Right there underneath the old Lindsay & Morgan Company building.
There's a shop on the first floor and I think there's an art studio on the second floor - but the 3rd and 4th floors are empty. This is because the owner stopped trying to rent it out because everybody who lived there broke the lease in a few weeks time. Apparently, one of the tenants heard a bunch of noise downstairs one night - like the shopkeeper was moving furniture around - and the next day he mentioned it to the shopkeeper, who claimed that he hadn't been in the shop that night at all. And a couple of other tenants who were renting the 3rd and 4th floors heard someone walking around downstairs and come up the stairs, stopping just outside the door. This occurred several times until, finally, the footsteps stopped just outside the door and the door handle was turned ... slowly ... and nothing was there! The couple, who had called the cops at the first sign of an intruder, met the police officers as they fled through the front door and told the police that someone/thing had entered their room. The police did a thorough search of the place and, of course, found nothing. Suffice it to say, they moved out that night... |
