The Best Ghost Tours in South Florida

The lush green neighborhood of Coconut Grove, with its surrounding tropical jungle and Banyan trees, looks charming in the daytime, but the area is a hotbed for spirits. This ghost tour walks visitors through the city’s past stories, from the oldest marked grave in the area to old inns that are known for their paranormal activity. The tour covers areas visited by ancient indigenous peoples, a playhouse haunted by phantoms and other eerie buildings haunted by soldiers. Check their website for more information.

Stroll through the two-hour-long tour of Downtown Fort Lauderdale, where visitors will listen to tales about ghost encounters at mentioned historical landmarks. Take a short boat ride on the New River to learn about the spirits haunting the coastline while listening to EVPs (electronic voice phenomena) of real-life paranormal investigations. Don’t miss trying to make contact with the ghosts in the Historic District!

Get ready for a hair-raising tour of the ghosts and gravestones in Key West. The tour—guaranteed to frighten or get your money back—begins aboard a trolley riding through the streets of the historic Old Town. Pass by the African Slave Cemetery (the site of the final resting place of 15 slaves), and walk through a fort haunted by the paranormal activity of those who died from yellow fever. The tour also follows a visit to the East Martello Fort haunted by Robert the Doll. The infamous doll was a gift to a young Gene Otto from a family maid who experimented with Voodoo—people heard voices, and things went missing when the doll was around. The tour runs for 1.5 hours, rain or shine, so be prepared with comfortable shoes if it’s a stormy night.
