On my 5/11/14 blog post, entitled "A Trip to Fabulous Savannah," I wrote about our recent trip to a family wedding in Savannah. On that post, I mentioned that Greg and I and some family members had enjoyed lunch at a restaurant there. In fact, we enjoyed it so much that I decided to devote a blog post just to the restaurant, The Pirates' House, which is a popular tourist spot in Savannah.
Just looking at it from the outside, you know that this is no ordinary restaurant.
The Pirates' House has a rich history of sailors, seafarers, and, of course, pirates. In fact, it's supposed to be "the most historic spot in Georgia," according to the brochure. It even has an association with Robert Louis Stevenson's "Treasure Island." (See F.Y.I. below for access to more detailed information about the history, etc.)
And, it's supposed to be one of the most haunted places! They don't try to hide the various ghosts that haunt the place, in fact, they flaunt them!
Costumed "pirates" can take you on a haunted tour through the maze of dining areas, or you can tour on your own.
Also, the servers who work there are glad to share The (ghostly) Pirates' House tales with one and all.
In fact, waiter Elijah is a sensitive (like Greg and me) who has taken lots of paranormal photos in the restaurant and can help you take your own, as well.

With the nautical decor and ghostly goings-on, this place has a ton of atmosphere. It's just a fun place to visit, a must-see when in Savannah.
Oh, and by the way, we also enjoyed our meal! I had the Southern buffet, and Greg had the fish and chips.

To top it all off, the large gift shop upstairs has gifts galore for those wanting to buy souvenirs as a reminder of their wonderful visit there.
Everything was made even more special because of those we were with. We all had a great time together.

Practice your posing, ghosts, for Greg and I plan on coming back to The Pirates' House to take more pictures! (and to eat more grub!)
