Tivo Alert: Friday 9PM Ghost Adventures (They were at my fav bar)
Savannah Georgia's Moon River Brewing Company is the locale for tomorrow's show

I personally know three people who have had weird things happen to them while they were at work there. Many people have had glasses and silverware thrown at them when they were alone. My friend is the Gen Manager there and can tell some crazy stories. He says the tv people were completely freaked out by the morning when they let them out of the restaurant.

Located in one of Savannah's oldest and most haunted buildings, the Moon River Brewery started pouring pints in 1999. Originally built in 1821 by Charleston native Elazer Early, the City Hotel was the town's first hotel and post office. The City Hotel was an upscale establishment, however the affluent clientele occasionally resorted to violence defending their Southern honor. Drawing in customers from the Yankee North, locals weren't always friendly to City Hotel customers. In 1864, after an increased wave of violence, the hotel closed when Gen. Tecumseh Sherman led the Union Army through Georgia.



Paranormal Activity

Since opening, the staff and customers of Moon River Brewery have encountered many unexplained, and sometimes violent, occurrences. Accounts include bottles being thrown by unseen forces and people being touched, pushed, and slapped by invisible spirits. One prominent ghostly figure is "Toby," who lurks in the bar's billiard room where he has been known to push patrons and staff.

A glowing white apparition has reportedly been seen on the restaurant's upper floors and is believed to be the spirit of a hotel worker who died there in the late 1800s. In the 1990s during an attempt to renovate the building's third floor, the foreman's wife was violently pushed down the staircase. Locals say he gave his resignation on the spot and to this day, the upper floors remain in decay.
