We're finally out of the woods and done with Bigfoot—butsomehow we've ended up with a ghost named Toby, a murder, questionable haunted history, and a lion.This week, we're heading to Savannah, Georgia, toinvestigate the former Moon River Brewing Company, a building with more than 200 years of history and a reputation as one of Savannah's most haunted locations.Before it became a brewery, the building was the City Hotel,where famous guests passed through, a live lion was apparently considered perfectly reasonable entertainment, and James Stark was shot and killed by Dr. Philip Minis in 1832.But once you start digging into Moon River's history, thingsget messy.Did the building really serve as a yellow fever hospital?Were enslaved people actually held in its basement, or did that story get added to the legend later? And how much of what gets repeated about Moon River is documented history versus haunted-history telephone?Then there are the ghosts.Employees and customers have reported shadow figures,voices, moving objects, unexplained touching, people being pushed, phantom children, a mysterious Lady in White, and an unidentified basement entity the staff affectionately named Toby—who apparently has some boundary issues.So what's actually haunting Moon River?James Stark?Toby?Two hundred years of stories piled on top of one another?Or, most importantly…is there a ghost lion?
