Savannah Trip Proves Haunted Ghost Tours Can’t Fix Bad Jokes

KEY POINTS

•Megan duBois visited Savannah, Georgia for four days, exploring historic sites and local cuisine with her mom.
•She paid $35 for Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room's communal Southern meal and $20 for the American Prohibition Museum ticket with a 1920s speakeasy experience.
•Her least favorite experience was a $33 comedy ghost tour on an air-conditioned bus, where bad jokes haunted the mood more than spirits.

Megan duBois took a four-day dive into Savannah, Georgia — a city juggling 1870s Southern cuisine, paddle-wheel nostalgia, and ghosts with the comedic timing of a dial-up modem. She endured a 45-minute line for Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room's $35 cash-only Southern banquet featuring 30+ dishes of fried chicken, mac 'n cheese, and okra with tomatoes because apparently veggies need southern hospitality too. She splurged $20 at the American Prohibition Museum for a strong 1800s Chatham Artillery punch, literally a boozy history lesson stuffed with 1920s cars and 200 artifacts. A $68, three-hour food tour expanded her fried stereotypes with braised-beef tacos and century-old ice cream in a city currently haunted by “comedy” ghost buses charging $33 for bad jokes and awkward costume cameos. Meanwhile, the $35 riverboat cruise offered bald eagles and cannon fires but no escape from the awkward ghost tour eyeball rolls.
