Welcome to Season 4 of the Made of Savannah Podcast!
Thrilling tales and historic facts aplenty on this episode with a Made of Savannah FAN-FAVORITE ... Ghost and History Tour Guide Enocha Edenfield.
Enocha Edenfield Tours is one the most popular tours to experience in Coastal Georgia. Enocha worked in print and broadcast news for nearly two decades prior to deciding to shift paths. During the 2020 shutdown, Enocha started sharing some of Savannah's ghost stories on TikTok. It wasn't long before she was getting requests for tours.
In this episode, Enocha explores Savannah's ties to all things "Friday the 13th". She also takes us to an area called Spring Hill - the site of the Spring Hill Redoubt during the American Revolutionary War. Here, on October 9, 1779, one of the bloodiest engagements of the Revolution was fought when repeated assaults were made by the allied troops of Georgia, South Carolina and France in an effort to retake Savannah from the British.
Also in this episode, we have a brush with a possible "Intersex icon" - Casimir Pulaski.
From the Smithsonian Magazine:
"In the 1990s, researchers exhumed a set of human remains from a Savannah, Georgia, monument believed to belong to Casimir Pulaski, the swashbuckling Polish cavalryman who fought for the Americans during the Revolutionary War. The circumstances surrounding Pulaski’s death and burial in 1779 were murky, and for more than 150 years, doubts had swirled over whether his body was, in fact, the one that had been interred at the monument built in his honor. The researchers hoped to finally put the debate to rest. But what they found only deepened the mystery surrounding Pulaski’s identification.
The skeleton unearthed from the site appeared characteristically female—particularly the pelvic bones and delicate facial structure. It was possible, the researchers theorized, that the body buried at the monument was not Pulaski’s, as some had suspected. But many of the skeleton’s traits were consistent with Pulaski’s known features: the age of death, the height of the skeleton, a healed injury on the right hand, changes to the hip joints common in frequent riders. So the team came up with another theory: perhaps Pulaski was intersex."
Enocha offers a history/ghost tour combo discount. All tours are private and can be family-friendly and dog-friendly by request.
