Savannah ghost tours connect the house with Matilda Sorrel and an enslaved woman called Molly, whose deaths are woven into a disputed story of an affair. HauntedPlaces.org also describes a white-clad woman in a parlor, shadowy figures at windows, and voices apparently coming from empty rooms.
Narrative source questions the alleged supporting papers for the Matilda/Molly affair story and identifies ordinary street and tour-group noise as an alternative to recorded voices. Historical accusation remains folklore.
HauntedPlaces.org names actor Edwin Booth as one of the Springer’s reputed ghosts. Other unnamed presences supposedly meddle with stage props, play practical jokes, and occasionally appear onstage. The theater’s long performance history provides the setting for stories in which a departed actor or backstage hand seems unwilling to leave the production.
Explore Southern History connects the lighthouse ghost to keeper Frederick Osborne, shot during an argument with his assistant in 1880. Later stories suggest he continued tending the light after death. A 1908 account concerns a keeper’s wife having difficulty with the mechanism while her husband was away, drawing the former keeper back into the lighthouse’s working life.
The Marshall House’s reputation draws on its hospital past. HauntedPlaces.org recounts unexplained corridor voices, lights switching without an apparent cause, and faucets running unattended.

The Partridge Inn’s best-known ghost is Emily, a bride in a nineteenth-century wedding dress.

HauntedPlaces.org recounts supernatural activity upstairs at the old sailors’ tavern and a tale of investigators leaving before finishing their work. Another popular story identifies a resident spirit as Captain Flint from Treasure Island.

Captain Flint is a fictional Treasure Island character. The source’s claimed connection is literary folklore, not biographical history.
Savannah Ghost Tours tells of a little girl appearing on the tower stairs and warning climbers to turn back.

HauntedPlaces.org recounts a soldier who supposedly still stands at the windows after dark.

Haunted Rooms America retells employee accounts of a Civil War-era soldier in one of the York House rooms, sometimes accompanied by cigar smoke.

The inn’s tradition therefore combines a recognizable military figure with a more domestic group of apparitions.
