Pirate House
Located in Savannah, Geogia

Opened in 1753 as a taven and Inn for sailors, merchant marines, French and English privateers and the less than favorable Savannah citizens, it is one of the oldest houses in Savannah. During this time, privateers would capture enemy ships, kill the crews and then sell the ships and give the British government a percentage of the take,

It is said that Robert Louis Stevenson based some of his characters in his book, Treasure Island, on actual privateer's less than favorable activities. Jean Lefitte, a French privateer stayed at this location to recruit unwilling crew members and to conduct his business, often with a representitive of the British goverment. Quite often, because of their unwillingness to participate in the privateer lifestyle,  low-life citizens of Savannah who frequented the Inn were druged, gotten drunk, knocked over the head and carried to the seafaring privateer ships to be used as crew mwmbers.

There was a tunnel constructed from the Inn to carry new "crew members" to the ships without raising suspisions. It is reported that 6 men died either in or around the Inn or tunnel area as a result of a fight between sailors and privateers. The shooting of Turner South's pilot episode of "Haunted South",  was shot on location at the Pirate House Restaurant. There are many reports of activity in the Pirates House Restaurant. A police officer reported seeing apparitions carrying another apparition through the blocked entrance to the tunnel, leading to the water.

Apparitions of men in 18th and 19th century era clothing have been seen gathering to have converstions. Between the first and second floors, a strong presence has been felt on the stairs. An apparition called Captain Flint has been seen in the basement and on the second floor. Employee's report seeing apparitions and hearing laughter coming from the second floor.
Cofee pots are known to move on their own and chairs and place settings are rearranged after the restaurant is closed.
