bonaventure cemetery

We had an hour before the cemetery closed, but we got ourselves togther and headed out to see Boneventure Cemetery, the famous cemetery from the book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, as well as a number of famous people who are buried there. There's Johnny Mercer, singer/songwriter; Conrad Aiken, novelist; and various civil war generals. What is so really cool about this place is the ambiance..its creepy. Tombstones are ornate, large in size, and in some cases, caskets appear above the ground. We were there in the late afternoon, there was a thunderstorm going on, which made it creepier.
Needless to say, Maddie and Dylan loved it. It was almose like you could see the ghosts of this place, which, from what I understand is one of the most haunted in Savannah. Well worth the trip out there.
