The history buff says her close encounters with the city's phantoms have included feeling an invisible hand on her shoulder and even living in a haunted apartment.
Savannah has a long history of paranormal activity with several reportedly haunted hotels, B&Bs and cemeteries while reports of ghostly sightings are off the charts.
According to Enocha, the 19th-century buildings known as Factor's Row are one of the most haunted areas of the city.
Enocha told The Sun: "When you walk around, you feel like you're shoulder to shoulder with people you can't see.

"Once, my dog Vash stopped to do his crouch and wiggle move while we were there - like he was going to start playing with another dog.
"There was nothing there. He was playing with a ghost dog."
Another notorious spot for ghost-hungry thrill seekers is the Moon River Brewing Company.
Founded in 1821 as the City Hotel, the restaurant it is today dines out on its creepy reputation - even featuring in a 2009 episode of Ghost Adventures.

Building owners have maintained the original stone-walled basement, with the unchanged interior adding to the spot's weighty aura.
And visitors have shared TikToks recounting their experiences saying hello to its many ghosts - including gambler James Stark, who was shot there in 1832, or the little boy named Tobey, rumoured to haunt its halls.
Enocha said: "Moon River is a well-known spot for paranormal investigators - for a reason.
"It's very active with ghosts and when you step inside, it feels like you're stepping back in time."
On one visit with a food blogger friend, Enocha said the manager welcomed them in - by telling them all about the Woman in White.
"One night the manager was upstairs getting something from storage when he heard a woman crying.
"He thought it was his co-worker, who was going through a break-up -so over his shoulder, he started comforting her, saying 'girl, you're going to get through this, you're better off without him', etc.

"He walked back to where he thought she'd be - and there was no one there. It was the Woman in White, heard weeping again."
On another visit, Enocha crossed the brewery floor hoping to take a selfie for her friends.
She added: "Moon River has a big mirror above this fireplace and I wanted to take a haunted selfie - it's a joke me and my friends have.
"I started walking towards the fire to take my picture - when suddenly I felt a hand on my chest.
"I could tell from the pressure - a ghost did not want me to go over there. So I stepped back, and left that part of the room alone."
Another one of Enocha's favourite tour sports is Colonial Park Cemetery - which has 9,000 graves, including 700 yellow fever epidemic victims who suffered gruesome deaths.
But one encounter there left even ghost-positive Enocha with chills.
She said: "The cemetery is usually busy with tour groups and visitors. But one night I was walking and it was eerily quiet.
"I got halfway down the street outside and I felt something behind me - I was so sure someone was there, I thought I was about to get mugged.
"I turned around and there was nothing there. But I felt the presence.
"Ghosts are going to get familiar with you - you have to tell them to stay in their spot and not follow you. So I told the spirit to stay right there.
"And as I walked back to my car, I felt the presence get smaller and smaller."
When you walk around, you feel like you're shoulder to shoulder with people you can't see.

The Bonaventure cemetery also has its own spooky past and is home to the eerie-looking grave of little Gracie Watson.
Gracie and her parents lived at the Pulaski Hotel after her father was employed as the hotel manager in the 1800's.
She would often perform for hotel guests in the lobby and the establishment quickly had a reputation for being one of the best hotels in the South.
But Gracie died in 1889 after battling pneumonia leaving her parents devastated.
In her memory, they built a life-sized statue of the child which sits on her grave before moving to New England and leaving her remains in Savannah all alone.
Many have said to have spotted Gracie's ghost playing in Johnson Square where the Pulaski Hotel was built wearing a white dress before disappearing.
Savannah is most famous for the sordid death of hustler Danny Hansford in 1981.
He was shot dead by his employer and lover, Jim Williams - though Jim was acquitted after four different trials, arguing he acted in self-defence.
Only eight months after he was finally found not guilty, Jim collapsed and died at his home - in the study where Danny had died.
The Mercer-Williams house is now the scene of numerous ghost tours in the city, and Enocha believes she has personally experienced the property's haunted legacy.
Speaking of Jim's death, she said: "Some people think he just died of the stress - four trials would take a toll on you.
"But others think he died because Danny returned to finish what he started."
On one visit to the house, Enocha claims she was standing listening to another tour guide discuss the murder - when she felt a presence behind her back.
"I looked for draughts or air vents but there was nothing," she said.
"I think it was Danny, listening to us discuss him.
"Much later, I brought my own tour group there, and we were standing in front of the house.
"I was telling that story when one of the group suddenly points and says, 'Danny's there in the window - and he mouthed that it was him.'
"I got chills."
Enocha says discussing her experiences online and with her friends has created a community keen to discuss Savannah's lively ghost scene.
She said: "I don't consider myself an expert.
"But at least with my TikTok, people feel comfortable sharing their stories with me."
She added: "I was raised in a strictly religious household - I wasn't allowed to believe in ghosts.
"My dad said if I did see one, it was actually a demon."
Enocha, moved to Savannah to Florida and says the city is comfortable with its haunted reputation.
