In 1771, James Habersham Jr. built this two-story mansion with an attic and basement, called The Olde Pink House. Habersham put much love and care into his home, raising three strong boys with his wife. The loving environment created by the Habersham family has stayed with the house to this day. It is now used as a restaurant, frequented by couples on romantic excursions and celebrations. But some might receive an uninvited third wheel at their table, for many ghosts haunt this 1771 home. You may even find Mr. Habersham asking to join you for dinner. One ghostly visitor you might encounter is that of a young woman, whose name has been lost to history. In the 1960s, she was a bartender in the restaurant. One night, she saw a man come in, order a beer, sit alone, pay, and then leave. The young woman found the man intriguing. She went and told her friends about the mysterious gentlemen and that she planned to follow him home one night. Luckily, she was blessed with good friends who were rightly nervous about their good friend following a strange man home in the middle of the night, so they planned to follow her. After a few days, the man came back to the bar. This time, as he left, the young woman left work and followed him from a distance. He led her through streets and alleys all over Savannah until finally their journey ended...at a cemetery. She saw him walk through the gates of the Button family monument and disappear. The woman could not believe her eyes. She pinched her arm because surely she must be dreaming. But this was no dream. After some research, she found that the man was in fact James Habersham's grandson. He lived in The Olde Pink House, and his room used to be where the bar was. Little did she know that on the night she followed him, he did led her to his home�his final resting place. The spirits of the Habersham family are not the only ones that haunt the restaurant. A war veteran can often be found sitting at the bar, enjoying a drink. He is dressed in a uniform from the Revolutionary War. Don't be afraid, for he is friendly. You might even be lucky enough to see him raise a drink to you before he vanishes into thin air. But don't get too comfortable, for a nameless woman haunts the second floor. Listen closely, and you might hear her crying over the chattering of your fellow patrons. Or, you could become the victim of the ghosts of mischievous slave children. These lively spirits laugh and play in the basement, throwing dice against walls and bathroom doors, or hitting bartenders with wine bottles, or even locking people in the restrooms. Patrons are advised to avoid the downstairs bathrooms, lest the doors shut themselves and lock. Although the idea of ghosts around every corner seems frightening, the ghosts who haunt The Olde Pink House are friendly, so never hesitate to pull up a chair for an extra guest at your table!
