It was around 1:00 am and I had this strange feeling, so I turned over in my bed and opened my eyes. There was this white figure, five feet away, it became clearer by the second and soon I was able to make out eyes, nose, friendly smile, and most of the figure. It smiled at me and left.
I told my friends about it and they said they thought it was a ghost. I named him Steve. I still see or hear him around today but nothing like the first encounter. I was staying in a hotel in Savannah, Georgia and I was standing in the parlor eating chocolate kisses and I was about to go downstairs to the room and I saw a shadow on the wall that didn't move with mine. I knew I was alone so I assumed it was Steve. I started walking down the stairs and I hear creaks that the stairs had never made before and booming sounds followed me. They sounded like feet. I think that Steve was traveling with me that trip.
Later I heard that all sorts of weird things were happening around there. Mysterious mist in the graveyards, voices with no one speaking and (my favorite) a little girl giggling and pulling on your skirt when your alone. The town was said to be haunted and I knew that about a month before I came to town, they dug skeletons out of the walls of the room I was staying in.
I love that place and the Hotel was called the Foley House Inn.

I too will have to stop by Foley House Inn.
I have much enjoyed Georgia cities and their charm, especially Savannah, Atlanta and Augusta (golf anyone).
I am not one for keeping ghosts as friends, as I strongly believe they are meant to cross over. As I have said before, would you want yourself or your loved ones to be trapped in limbo land?
I do not think that was your ghost friend Steve you encountered either. That was the hotel's uninvited and unpaying guest who checked in and never checked out.--Abby
