Work on �haunted� Savannah Georgia home is underway (video)

SAVANNAH, Ga. (WJCL) � Crews are hard at work fixing up a Savannah home with ties to the early 1900s.

The house at 12 West Oglethorpe Avenue has been vacant for years and was hit by a fire a few years back. But now a Savannah businessman is spending more than a million dollars to fix it up.

�It�s fantastic to see them actually restoring it to its original state,� said Savannah resident Sandra Hensley. While there�s excitement about this old home coming back to life, there�s some who say, the original owners never left.

�My daughter just stopped, she�s a little 3 year old, she said, �mommy why is that lady crying?�� said Savannah resident Rebecca Debreceny. �What�s wrong with her?�

But what she saw - or rather what she didn�t - was chilling.

�I did not see anything,� said Debreceny. �But she was adamant that there was a lady there.�

That isn�t the only creepy story surrounding the house. It�s a featured stop on many ghost tours.

Many say it was the home of a doctor who spread yellow fever to his family and some even say it sits on top of a grave yard. The house was built in the early 20th century.
