The Ghostly Residents of Savannah's Andrew Low House
The Low family butler, Tom
The Andrew Low House in Savannah, Georgia is one of the most well-loved houses in the city. It was originally built in 1848 to serve as the family home for the wealthy cotton merchant Andrew Low and his wife and children. Unfortunately, just one year after the home was built, Mrs. Low died during a miscarriage, and the family home was just a house. Andrew married again in 1852 and filled the home with children and laughter once more. The family lived in the home until he passed away, and his son William married Juliette Gordon Low in 1886. Juliette and William lived in the home together until she found him in bed with his mistress. Mrs. Juliette acquired the home in the divorce, and lived out the rest of her days in the house until her death in 1927 following a four year battle with cancer.
Considering how beautiful and charming this Victorian home is, it’s no surprise that all who enter it immediately feel welcomed and safe. It’s also no wonder that many of the people in the Low family chose to carry out their afterlife within the walls of the home. Andrew Low absolutely loved company, and he is happy to sit in his rocking chair that still occupies the house whenever tours come through. From the guests’ perspective, they simply see an old rocking chair, rocking away calmly by itself.
Although Juliette Gordon Low’s body was laid to rest in Bonaventure Cemetery, it doesn’t seem to be the place her spirit rests. Many guests who approach her room, where she died, report seeing her lying peacefully in her bed. Don’t worry for her though, she is being well taken care of by the loyal and caring Low family butler, Tom, who still maintains his duties in the home. He can be heard by guests as he walks through the hallways, checking each room dutifully. He also moves furniture and objects around the home, keeping them just so, as he was very particular and still has a keen eye for detail. Would you like to meet the friendliest ghosts in Savannah?
