DAUNTING ADVENTURES IN SAVANNAH, GEORGIA

Savannah is home to an abundance of history, art, charm and culture, but yet has been recognized as the most haunted city in the United States. October is the time of year to experience daunting tales of the city that speaks at night with ghost tales in a variety of different ways.  The tours listed below are unique and have had the highest ratings from various credible sources such as "Southern Living Magazine" and "Travel Channel's Ghost Adventures". So if you dare to proceed.....listed below are some unique approaches for some paranormal phenomena activity to engage in whether you are a local or tourist to the Savannah, Georgia area.

Walking Ghost Tours in Historic Savannah, Georgia

Don’t miss out on our haunted tour of Savannah’s spooky Moon River Brewing Company. Built in 1821, the Moon River Brewing Company is notoriously haunted, with strange accounts of angry ghosts attacking its staff and patrons widely circulating. This unusual building is spooky enough to have caught the attention of television’s most renowned paranormal experts. In fact, on the 2005 Halloween special, our friends, the Syfy’s Channel’s Ghost Hunters, visited Savannah’s most famous ghostly hotspot. In 2009, the stars of Travel Channel’s Ghost Adventures chose the brewery as the sight of their “lockin” and had quite a fright! On our award-winning ghost tour, we will also take a quick stop into 17Hundred90 Inn, featured on A&E’s My Ghost Story in 2011.

“My friend and I did the Boos & Brews Tour with Chad and it was AMAZING. He was captivating, but SO knowledgeable. I have never been on a tour where the guide has known so much about the city. I learned more about Savannah during that 2 hour tour than I learned after 2 years of living an hour away.”
As if these thrills and chills weren’t enough, on Tara’s BOOS AND BREWS haunted tour you can also enjoy adult beverages available for purchase on-site. “To Go” cups will be provided so you can keep your drink with you all evening long.

The Zombies Tour is truly a premium adult Savannah pleasure.

Tobias conducts all of the Zombie Tours and is Blue Orbs Founder and host of “Savannah Paranormal” on WTKS 1290. With over eight hours of material to offer on this route it’s never the same experience twice. Reservations are necessary as this tour is often booked to capacity.

The Zombies Tour is an 18 and older tour that gives adults the opportunity to tour with other adults and was named “Best Savannah Ghost Tour 2011” by The Destination Guide. The stories are edgy and uncensored, more in depth and definitely creepier. Stops on the tour vary and are at the discretion of the guide and group.

Blue Orbs most popular tour and has been ranked as the #1 Singles/Nightlife attraction on multiple local websites. Savannah’s open container law lets guests on the tour “get one to go” before beginning the tour. Restroom access is available before and after the tour at Gallery Espresso, McDonough’s Pub or Parker’s Market.

The tours success is attributed to guests knowing they will always tour with Tobias, will be able to tour with other adults only, hear the material uncensored and have access to a late night option with alcohol available, minus the bar scene.

LIVING THE LOWCOUNTRY LIFETYLE

The Low-country is surrounded by some of the best nature scenes that I have ever experienced and a new way to explore is to get out on the water by the power of your own spiritual destiny.  Yes, anyone can put a motor on or sail into the waters, but to engage into the unexplored waters guided by the grip and thrust of the power of your own is by holding a paddle in your own self discovery. The inter coastal waterway has many hidden pathways that you can navigate and a great way to discover them is getting out on a kayak.  Tranquility and Serenity  are intertwined in an endless journey in discovering wildlife and don't be surprised if you see a dolphin or two. 

Another great way to engage in the open waters as well build you core muscles is to try your hand and learn the latest craze,  Stand up Paddle board along the beautiful May River. 

This is the perfect time of year to try either of the two since the weather is an ideal!  I personally prefer sunrise, sunset or if you dare, Moonlight Kayaking.

Eric Burns of Marshgrass Adventures and Sea Island Paddling Society can by your guide since his former office contact was 1-800-find-me-on-the water.  He recently relocated to another great treasure in the Low-country which is located at Calhoun Street in Bluffton, SC.  Calhoun Street is home to the "Church of the Cross", Art galleries that feature Art Walks and collections from local artists,  Farmer's Market and two wonderful restaurants that are "The Cottage" and "Vineyard 55" that both serve ambiance, great food and Southern Hospitality.

All of Eric's tours with both of his companies do provide the equipment and he has the greatest rates in town.  He also has formed Kayak and Sea Island Paddling Society Meetup Groups.  So, if you are a local that is eager to try something new or wants to find and meet new friends that share the same common interests.

You can contact him at (843) 684-3296

 Meetup Group information:

He also has a kayak company that is called MarshGrass Adventures and you can reach him at the above number and is also a great resource for tourists.

Spiritual Journey to Mind, Body & Soul

SPIRITUAL JOURNEY - HEAL & NOURISH YOUR MIND, BODY & SOUL

Hilton Head has much more to offer than, Golf, Tennis or a family vacation.  It can also be a sanctuary where you can build awareness with your inner spirit.  It is often overlooked to just take the time for peacefulness and what better way is to explore our true connection than to explore a journey within ourselves  in  a beautiful island oasis just steps away from the ocean.
I personally discovered meeting with a Chiropractor (Dr. Thomas Cole) here in Hilton Head, who had such a human, gentle guidance for healing me from a tragic accident I recently had.  I think this experience was a soulful journey for myself and thought I would share my own personal insight to a journey I am about to explore and I wanted to share some wonderful professionals in healing the mind, body and soul.  So if you are a local or tourist that is seeking a Chiropractor, he is located at 14 New Orleans Rd, Hilton Head and can be reached at (843) 842-7575. He also suggested that massage would compliment my healing process and he introduced me to a massage therapist that is conveniently located just a few steps away from his office and was voted "Best Massage for 2010".  If you want to go  on your next visit you can get a 60 Minute Massage for only $60.00 or a Signature Facial for $65.00.  Also, located on premise is a Nutritional Consultant that can offer you guidance for a healthier well being and will offer a free Nutritional Consultation.  You can also just walk up the stairs and be connected to a Yoga Studio that offers Herbal Consultations and Self Care Workshops.   The beauty of this studio is it is a 100% donation studio which means you pay what you can afford and typically most of all the Yoga Studio are not affordable to many different budgets.

Local Author new Cookbook - October Feature

Since the weather is getting cooler, I thought I would explore and incorporate local authors of the Lowcountry that signified some savory samples for you to try.

Pat Branning publishes new coffee table cookbook

“The South is a place where tea is sweet and accents are sweeter, macaroni and cheese is a vegetable, front porches are wide and words are long. Pecan pie is a staple. Y’all is the only proper noun. Chicken is fried and biscuits come with gravy. Everything is darlin’ and someone’s heart is always being blessed.”
— “Shrimp, Collards & Grits,”
by Pat Branning
Author and food columnist Pat Branning, who used to live in Salisbury but now lives in Hilton Head, S.C., has released a new book: “Shrimp, Collards & Grits: Recipes, Stories and Art from the Creeks and Gardens of the Lowcountry.” The book release coincides with the Beaufort, S.C. tricentennial year.
Branning published a lowcountry cookbook in 2009, but the recipes, story and art are all new in this one, she notes.
In addition to almost 200 lowcountry recipes, the full- color coffee table cookbook features 150 fine art paintings by such noted Southern artists as Ray Ellis, John Carroll Doyle and Joe Bowler among others.
Branning will be a featured author at this year’s Charleston Food and Wine Festival March 3-6. She will be signing advance copies of her new book there Friday, March 4 and Sunday, March 6.
The book retails for $34.95 and pre-sales are going on now at www.mycarolinacooking.com and www.starbooks.biz.
The book will be available in bookstores in mid-March. The Literary Bookpost can accept pre-orders.
To celebrate Beaufort’s birthday, a limited, signed commemorative edition in a slipcase will be offered for $60.
Nathalie Dupree, author of 10 cookbooks and two-time James Beard Award winner, has said called Branning a “charming storyteller who combines the unmistakable Southern cadence of stories swapped across the dinner table with delicious Southern recipes.”
Branning used to be Women’s Editor for WSB Atlanta and a hostess for South Carolina ETV. She used to host daily broadcasts on food and entertaining, teaming up with great chefs from around the country while developing a passion for anything Southern — particularly cooking.
Today, Branning works as a freelance writer, cookbook author and food editor for the BeaufortTribune.com.
Her website is www.mycarolinacooking.com, a source for recipes, art and stories about the lowcountry.
