And on today’s Dark enigma well, it’s almost my favorite holiday, Halloween, so I thought I’d do a story on my absolute favorite place (in the US of course) Savannah Georgia!  So, with that said, we will still be playing our drinking game and as you know, the drinking game is only for those of us that are at home and have nowhere else to go tonight.  The choice of libation, as always my darlings, is yours, so choose your poison accordingly… Alright, now for the game part how about every time I say house that will be a single shot and every time I say Savannah, that will be a double shot.  Now that the business end is out of the way we can jump headfirst into today’s dark enigma… so grab your best mint julep, sit down in the veranda and puddle in the sweet Savannah heat as we dive into today’s offering:  The Countless Ghosts of My Favorite Haunt Savannah Georgia

During the Revolutionary War, two major battles were fought in Savannah. Both were equally bloody, and the area around what would become Madison Square saw heavy casualties. It’s even rumored that the area was the burial site for the dead soldiers, except some of those soldiers weren’t dead. The wounded and sick were thrown into the pits and buried while still alive. Today, Madison Square is pretty peaceful. If it weren’t for the statue of William Jasper, one would never know that a major battle took place there. Students from SCAD hang out around Madison Square, studying and socializing, almost entirely oblivious to the hundreds of bodies buried several meters below their feet.
