Moon River Brewing Co.

Beer and ghosts?!? MMMmmm. The Moon River Brewing Co. is said to be haunted by the paranormal investigators who host Southern Ghosts Radio. From Moon River Brewing Co.'s history:

One such "affair of honor" had its beginning in the barroom of the City Hotel. This particular event was most unusual in that it was started and ended at the City Hotel. In the spring of 1832, an arrogant and drunk braggart, James Stark, expressed his dislike of a local doctor, Philip Minis. Not surprisingly word got back to Dr. Minis, who, although angered, considered the source and let the matter simmer to midsummer. In August, Minis, no longer able to tolerate the mounting accusations of cowardice, demanded of Stark either an apology or "that satisfaction which one gentleman should afford another." When the two men could not agree on terms of the duel, Stark continued to ridicule Minis' courage. On August 10th, James Stark and a friend were coming down the stairs in the City Hotel just in time to hear Dr. Minis pronounce " I proclaim James Stark a coward!" Stark put his hand in his pocket as if to draw a pistol, and advanced toward Minis who drew his pistol and fired. Dr. Richard Arnold examined the body of James Stark and said "the ball passed through the upper left thorax, behind the top part of the scapula, and through, into the side of the kitchen door". Dr. Minis was tried and acquitted of murder and went on to become an U.S. Army surgeon and father of seven. The City Hotel continued in operation during the civil war. After the war the City Hotel succumbed to the economic malaise that gripped the south. Its doors were closed and it traded hands a number of times. It was used as a moving and storage facility for seventy years until 1959. It sat empty and in disrepair for over 30 years until the mid 1990s when the main floor and the basement were renovated as a brewpub. The upper floors are still vacant and not much changed from over 170 years ago.

Here's what Southern Ghosts Radio's investigators wrote of the Moon River Brewing Co.:

This really cool restaurant and brew pub is not only a hip place to eat in Savannah, but it happens to occupy a very historic, and extremely active, building in the heart of Savannah's historic district. Our investigations, both private and as part of our public overnight, have resulted in the collection of very compelling paranormal evidence including eyewitness accounts, EVP and photographic anomalies.

A report of the group's investigation posted here, including images and spooky details. Don't forget to listen to their show midnight to 1 a.m. Saturday. Sounds like the kind of place I'd haunt if I were a ghost. Curt, this post's for you.
