The Haunting

Wormsloe was established by Noble Jones, an English colonist and one of the founders of colonial Georgia; Jones acquired the land near Savannah in 1736 and completed a tabby house by 1745. Surviving features of the estate include the tabby ruins of Jones's fortified house, a museum presenting artifacts recovered from the site and a short interpretive film, recreated colonial structures, and a widely photographed 1.5‑mile oak‑lined avenue that forms the estate's iconic approach road. The State of Georgia acquired most of the property in 1973 and opened Wormsloe as a State Historic Site in 1979. The site has been the subject of historical, archaeological, and architectural study and is interpreted for visitors as an important resource for understanding early Georgian colonial settlement and plantation life. The provided research materials contain no documentation or reliable reports of paranormal phenomena, named spirits, hauntings, or curses associated with Wormsloe. All supplied sources focus on history, archaeology, landscape features, preservation, and visitor interpretation rather than supernatural claims.
