I have read the book years ago and visited the house!

Hello again. I've always loved the book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil and the film was cool I thought. The history of the house and the owners and events surrounding it was always a interesting and bizarre one I thought. I've been doing videos about Savannah's haunted and true crime history of the cities most famous homes and I've got a few new ones coming out on some similar locations. Last trip down there I filmed the Bird Girl statue from the famous book cover. That videos titled "Savannah Georgia's Telfair Museum (Bird Girl Statue, Oddities & Art)".
Thanks for watching. HG

I recommend you also read After the Garden of Good and Evil! The more you research the more you understand how and why the tragedy of Danny Hanson happened. It wasn’t all Jim William’s fault. Danny had been plagued his whole life with aggression, rage, and assaulting others including his own mother and girlfriend. He seemed to be in trouble with the law on a regular basis. It’s said he also assaulted Jim who was a much older man. Danny is what we’d call today as entitled. Even though Jim did try to help him, Danny didn’t seem to appreciate anything anyone did. Of course, drugs and alcohol was part of Danny’s issues along with mental illness that wasn’t helped although his mother and law enforcement tried. I’m sure the tour people don’t tell you all because it’s easier to tell weird tales but the real story is quite 0:02 enough to keep you interested! I got mine from a used book store!!

Sounds like an interesting book and if I see one I'll get a copy to read. I never take tours of places like this that are overpriced and most of the time covering up what really happened, but either way and besides the house has an undeniable dark past filled with tragic events and strange happenings like all of Savannah. I've had numerous paranormal encounters in that town as well as across the country and documented it on film and in recordings. Mercer House is an interesting story and the Midnight book was probably only a scratch on the map to what really happened. Jim liked to party and Danny did too and things got outta control and when people refuse help they can't and won't change, so things like this happen. It's America where freedom leads to tragedy at a higher rate than most would like to believe while they try and sweep it under the rug of the rich and leave the rest for the media and corrupt businesses to profit from. Sad but true. Check out my video I did called the "Axe Murders of Gribble House in Savannah Georgia", it's an old murder that was shocking to the area many years ago and has quite an interesting story to say the least. It's located in my "Serial Killers and True Crime" playlist here at the channel.
