The Haunted CVS in Savannah
If you found this blog post you have almost certainly went on a ghost tour in Savannah and heard the story about the CVS store on Bull Street being haunted. Well, I am here to tell you that whatever you were told was a lie. Yep, you're guide lied to you! Imagine that, haha...Before we go any further, let me explain. I am not saying the CVS store isn't haunted. I have not investigated the place. However, I can tell you with 100% certainty that the story everyone tells about the Haunted CVS is completely made-up.
The story about the Haunted CVS Store goes as follows. The store started experiencing weird happenings at night. Things would starts flying off of the shelves, demons would follow employees home causing them great harm. After this happened a few times the employees refused to work after the sun went down. Corporate CVS refused and said they must stay open 24 hours . After all, all CVS stores stay open 24 hours, right? (Nope) The employees finally sent Corporate CVS night-time surveillance tapes of things flying off of the shelves of the store. A few nights every single item in the store flew off of the shelves. After enough complaining CVS decided to allow the store to shut down at 8pm. That is how the story goes...and that story is complete non-sense.
First, there was never an instance of everything in the store falling off of shelves in the store. One item...maybe two, possibly. But everything in the store? You should have known right then your ghost tour guide was trying to pull a fast one on you. Second, the part about the employees refusing to work late..and that is why this particular CVS closes early as opposed to all of the other non-haunted CVS stories which stay open 24 hours is nonsense. Most of the CVS stores in the Savannah region close early. The one down the road from my house closes at 10pm..every night. If you don't believe me check their website.
Now, don't be getting too upset at your ghost tour guide. You'll find that most of the ghost stories told by there tour companies are completely made up. This is a sad thing and one of the reasons we have worked soo hard to identify the real ghost stories in Savannah and present them to our guests. Savannah IS a very haunted city.
