Episode description

According to Dr. William Waring’s journals from the time, yellow fever was responsible for a 70% drop in the population of Savannah, Georgia between 1807 and 1820. In 1820 alone, around 700 people perished from the disease. The yellow fever left a legacy of suffering in Savannah that includes mass graves, creepy hospitals, and spooky spanish moss. In Bonus Episode 2, Alli and I discuss the restless spirits of Savannah.
