What's one main attraction of Savannah? Well, Bonaventure Cemetery is the place that housed the statue the Bird Girl, which is a very famous, if not slightly disturbing, statue [now housed in the Telfair Museum of Art]. It was originally photographed by Jack Leigh, who has a gallery there. I've been to the gallery. It's a really kind of famous place to go. They have really good art for sale.

So what did you do in the cemetery? Or what did you see? They have, I think, 60, maybe 70 ghost tours down in Savannah. If that's what floats your boat, you've hit the jackpot in terms of the spirit world. I don't think there are as many ghosts in the world as they have these tours for them. It's a big business. They will definitely take you around these various cemeteries and give you the history. But people are spotting the paranormal activity going on pretty much in every corner of the city.

I've heard there are haunting tours, Old Town trolleys, Savannah spirits, a pub crawl … Every kind of creepy, paranormal, freaky, spooky experience you'd want to have is available. For a price. The cemetery I remember best is Colonial Park. The history there is amazing because it's not like Los Angeles, where you see, you know, here lies so-and-so from 1935 to '74. This is all, like, eighteenth-­century stuff. The weird thing is that a lot of the locals in the evening hour will show up there in the park with their dogs and allow the dogs to run free and kind of get their evening exercise - and the locals will pop open a canteen of their favorite evening cocktail. They are very, very nice people, and they all sit around and have a cocktail and watch the dogs running around in the cemetery. It's one of the more surreal dog parks in the country, if not the world. My dog, actually, was not used to gravestones in the parks that he plays in and ran headfirst into a gravestone at about 20 miles an hour. We had to take him to a local vet with the help of some friendly Savannah citizens.
