Episode Description from the Publisher

Often called one of Savannah’s most haunted homes, the Sorrel–Weed House has earned a reputation built on tragic legends, unsettling experiences, and decades of reported paranormal activity. Located beside Madison Square, the house sits at the crossroads of history, folklore, and modern ghost stories. In this episode of Ghostly, we focus on the hauntings associated with the Sorrel–Weed House—examining the stories, the evidence, and the firsthand experiences that continue to draw visitors into its shadowed rooms. Hauntings &amp; Paranormal Evidence Discussed • A Female Presence Upstairs Reports of cold spots, emotional heaviness, and the sensation of being watched—often linked to the tragic story of Matilda Sorrel. • The Carriage House and “Molly” A controversial and heavily debated legend involving an enslaved woman, with visitors reporting physical reactions such as nausea, pressure, and an urgent need to leave the space. • The Haunted Mirror Accounts of unexplained figures appearing in mirrors, reflections that don’t match reality, and photographs capturing what some believe are apparitions. • The Basement Shadow movement, unexplained footsteps, camera malfunctions, and a strong sense of dread reported by visitors and investigators alike. History vs. Folklore Some of the Sorrel–Weed House’s most famous ghost stories are debated by historians, and not all details can be fully verified. In this episode, we explore where documented history ends and folklore begins—and why, regardless of the facts, visitors continue to report powerful and unexplained experiences.
