Savannah has no shortage of ghost stories, and the tale of the Wright Square Ghost may be the creepiest we’ve heard. The spooky story begins in 1724, after a man was found lying strangled on his bed. Although the deceased man, William Wise, was known to be slightly shady, his death still caused quite a stir in the community. Investigators convicted two of his servants, Alice Riley and Richard White. Although the two attempted to flee, they were eventually caught and sentenced to death. Alice’s execution was delayed until after she gave birth to her son, James. Although Alice adamantly proclaimed innocence, 8 months later, she faced Wright Square’s gallows. A short while later, her son died. Legend has it that she haunts pregnant women and mothers with infants, searching for her lost baby. Next time you’re in Savannah, notice the shortage of Spanish Moss in Wright Square – according to folklore, Spanish Moss will not grow where innocent blood has been spilled.
