The Haunted Secrets and History of Jekyll Island - The Ghosts of Jekyll Island
Episode 100
Saturday, 29 November, 2025
Journey with Scary Savannah and Beyond to Georgia's historic and haunted Jekyll Island, once the exclusive Gilded Age retreat of America's wealthiest families—Rockefeller, Vanderbilt, J.P. Morgan, Pulitzer, and more. In this episode, we dive into the island's luxurious past, its role in birthing the Federal Reserve, the rise of modern golf, and its darker side: ghostly sightings at the Jekyll Island Club Resort, spectral bellhops, phantom cigar smoke, pacing presidents, eerie cottage hauntings, shadow figures in ancient cemeteries, and firsthand accounts of overwhelming dread from guests and staff. Blending history, mystery, and haunting lore, we uncover why Jekyll Island remains one of the most fascinating—and paranormally active—places on the Georgia coast. Whether you love true ghost stories, Southern history, or haunted travel, this episode brings the island's restless echoes to life.
