Local tradition holds that the most familiar of the inn's reported spirits is Anna, said in the 1990s and 2000s telling to have been a young woman whose lover sailed from the Savannah River and never returned. The narrative has Anna falling from a third-floor window into the brick courtyard below. Researchers and inn staff have observed that the wing in which this leap is typically located was added in 1888, well after the period assigned to her story; the lore predates verifiable architectural sequence and is best read as folk narrative rather than documented history.

Guests staying in room 204 have reported the most frequent activity associated with the Anna narrative. Common reports include jewelry, identification, and small clothing items moved between surfaces and later found behind furniture or inside planters. Staff have repeated these accounts for decades; the inn includes the room in its public ghost-tour materials.

A second figure appears in restaurant and tavern lore as Thaddeus, a child who is described leaving pennies on bar tops and tables. Servers occasionally report finding coins after a room has been cleaned. A third presence is associated with the kitchen and is described as resistant to women working in the space, with pots reported moved or knocked, and staff reporting being brushed or pushed while plating. None of these accounts is independently documented in newspaper or historical-society sources; all enter the public record through inn staff, ghost-tour operators, and guest reports collected since the 1990s.

The 17Hundred90 has long featured on Savannah ghost tours and is included in published guides to the city's hospitality hauntings. The inn itself maintains a dedicated page about its resident spirits and frequently fields paranormal inquiries.
