Bonaventure Cemetery
Perched dramatically on a scenic bluff overlooking the Wilmington River east of Savannah, Georgia, the 160-acre Bonaventure Cemetery is world-famous for its haunting Southern Gothic beauty, Spanish moss-draped live oaks, and intricate Victorian funerary sculpture. Originally established as Evergreen Cemetery in 1846 on the historic site of Bonaventure Plantation, it became immortalized by John Berendt's 1994 bestseller 'Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil'. Visitors and grave-tenders frequently report encountering child apparitions, moving marble statues, and disembodied laughter.
