FORT SAVANNAH, GEORGIA

Fort Pulaski

Savannah, Georgia

A masonry fort on Cockspur Island where a Civil War siege left a lasting imprint.

History

Completed before the Civil War, Pulaski fell after a landmark bombardment that proved rifled cannon could breach brick. It later held prisoners under harsh conditions. Visitors and staff report footsteps in the casemates, figures on the ramparts, and activity in the former prison areas.

Reported phenomena

Footsteps in the casemates and apparitions of soldiers on the walls.
